Not sure about it yet.

I can't put my finger on it (I'll get arrested) but it sort of looks a bit unfinished :|

That was done nice and quickly - great stuff :D

The look of the forum is similar to others I've used in the past, so I should get on just fine.

The only thing I'm not keen on is the names and avatars appearing on the right hand side of the screen - most forums have this on the left.

But apart from that I think it's ok

there's also glow text: looks like any colour as long as it's red;

shadow text;

drop shadow text;

blur text;

fade text;

spoiler alert, hide from guests

and a couple of messages to admin which I don't quite understand, but look they're for use by sneaks

Don't worry David, we're just big kids. We'll get bored soon.

But well done on the seamless upgrade.
