kept dropping out, slow posting, leading to double posting etc and host server or whatever took forever to fix things, ie month out last year.
the visual will come- as suggested to others- try the prosilver for easier read.

Agreed,
I've done the same and the 'blue version' seems much clearer to me.

Wow, its so different. Cant be bothered going through all the options, to confusing. I would like it to be as close to ST Kilda colours as possible. Definately not blue, green etc.

This new format is terrible!

It's like reading plastic post-its, whereas the previous format was like reading a hand-written letter.

And I've noticed a bug that didn't used to occur on the old site. Not sure if it's just me or if others are experiencing it too:

When I click a link on a post, say to a St.Kilda article for example, in the old Saintsational a new window would pop up and I'd have two windows open, one with the article and one with the post. But now, when I click on a link, I am taken directly to the article in the same window and I leave the Saintsational site. I like having my two windows to flick back and forth.

Bring back the old version...

To open a link in a new window, right click and then select open in new window.
Here is a link or two for practice.

you can set that in your tools, options

i havent tried clicking on a link yet but im guessing it still works as i used to the do the same

actually they doesnt work anymore
wtf is going on?
that should NOT change if you have 'open new link in new tab' ticked in your options tab

I haven't browsed all of the colour options, but Proglass_Red is much easier to read and has a Saints look/feel about it - a dash of Black on the headers may just do the trick.

What do others think :?: :?:

on old forum there were three board options to allow for differant vision situations- those needing differant colour variations although all based on RWB

I've got no problem with pink, I personally don't need to affirm my masculinity with more macho colors and the dark background with white writing hurt my eyes a lot more than this floral tone. What the dickens has blue got to do with our club?

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that before you reply that you check the version number of the style. You do that by clicking the "Overview" link at the top right of the page I linked to above after you have selected a style. If "phpBB Version(s)" says 3.0.10 then it is okay. Anything below that is not.
Favourite two:

1 - ExtremeDark Red - for the traditional look, I think this is great

2 - IDLaunch_Black - Very smart and easy to read, easily add a splash of red to the banner, too


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

I've changed the colours as an example but have never done a 'screenshot' before to know how to get a copy for here.
