Nice, shiny look!

Very good! Looks professional and contemporary

Looks great.

Yes easier on the eyes.    Did I precipitate this at all with my link back to the SMF mods section yesterday?      

Looks like (in case you missed it) the main logo image is being cut off on the right side and the RMI section overflows it's column.

does it still overflow the right collumn?  I think perhaps i fixed.. and yes zymmetrical this is all your fault

I went to check out that blog thing and it said it was for smf 1.5 ... mine was out of date so i thought it was time to update it... .. but that is never as easy as it sounds since i have changed a lot of files here and there over time :S

anyhow, please let me know if you find any errors.

That's so cool LOL

Its seems to be evolving everytime I refresh the screen. It looks good. I didn't mind the red for thread titles but that may be too hard to read. The chat disappeared for a while but I see its now back.

one thing:
"a meeting place for microstock photogra..." is cut off (in both Safari and Firefox)

Otherwise very nice work Leaf.

EDIT - fixed now

is it fixed now.. yeah, i am trying to get the kinks worked out still... so it will probably change a little in the next 24 hours ... hopefully for the better.

Oh cool I feel so pivotal!

I know the feeling, our message forum system on Zymm came up with a new version recently and unfortunately it's a big pain to do the upgrade for exactly the same reason:  little customizations here and there and then you come in with a new theme and everything is overwritten .. but once you see all the new features you get sucked in.

EXACTLY! 

Very nice change. Excellent job!

It does look good.

Couple of glitches: the green "New Posts" folder is appearing for forums (like Gimmestock) that haven't seen a post in over a year, and not (the gray folder) for those that have posts today. The Quick Pick create new topic list boxes run over on the right into the forum names.

A complaint/change request is that the tab with the Home/Forum etc. buttons is now way up and to the left of where the forum posts get displayed. What I've always done after reading a post is click the Home button to get a refreshed list of what's been posted. That's now much farther away than it was. All works fine, but just feels less convenient than before.

Edited to add: Firefox 3.x Mac OSX 10.5.x

Leaf -- A few comments on the new skin. 
Overall it looks great and the text is a lot crisper and easier to read.   
However, there a few things that I'm noticing that you may wish to check into.  I'm at work (the dull job) and only have a 17" monitor.  A lot doesn't fit properly.  About 3/4 of the avatars get cropped with scroll bars on both the side and bottom.  Likewise on the center frame, where the messages are.  If someone uses the "quote", that pane won't fit and causes one to have to use scroll bars to read the entire message.

None of this, I'm sure, is a problem for those  lucky to have a larger monitor.

Looking good Leaf, looking good! 

NICE !

Good job Leaf.

good job. nice looking.

I really like this new look. very nice

I love the new look but I have a question. I'm using IE7 and when I view a thread the post section is no wider than the "view the results" column down the right side making posts a little hard to read other than that looks great!!!

I'm on ie too.  Yes, the column I am reading from is only 4" wide.   Okay for brief posts I guess - but the long ones are tiresome.  And the premium members no longer stand out in the user online list.

Editing the third time... and on my screen I see less than 1cm of peoples avatars (with a arrow bar).

Hehe, Beta2Microstockgroup. 

Thanks Tyler.

Looks nice, I like it!

Good job Leaf.

Me likey.

Ok, thanks for all the feedback.  The errors have been noted and the chipmunks (that I got cheap from luckyoliver) have been fed and are now back at work....

Yeah nice look but i'll second this:

The main menu should be bigger and closer like it was in the old layout (functional wise)

Exactly the same for me, is there a way to make it wider? Remember I'm no internet geek so simple instructions please

Frankly, it looks cluttered. This new skin wastes a lot of space on a top and sides so there is no advantage of having higher resolution.
