As some of you will notice, we have a new skin that blends in more with our homepage than the previous one. Some of you like the darker background with the white text so here it is. It is the default one so it will automatically change in time (or if you logout and log back in) but if you want to still keep the old one, scroll down to the bottom left section of the screen and choose "AM Light".

It won't change for me. I choose AM Dark, and it looks like AM Light. If its like AX's forum, my eyes are killing me within minutes of looking at the site.

Close browser. Open Browser. Choose.

If you don't like dark backgrounds, don't choose.

I like it, don't like the rolling background though. I would go simpler with less distraction. e.g. a nice black or dark plate with less going on. The rest looks real nice to include the brush metal elements.

I find white text on a black background easier on the eyes than black text on a white background.

Ok, the background issue should be fixed now.. The thread will scroll but the background won't. If that change doesn't show up for you right away, it will shortly.

Perhaps it's a testament to my graphics card, but I can't load the dark skin without some serious lag. I'll settle for my white skin with extremely large black lateral borders *duck and run*

I'm not to cool with all the ads on this page. This isn't something that I'm going to see all the time, is it? If so, please make an upgraded Gold Membership so I may exclude them.

I gotta say it looks very slick but i find the light to be a little easier to read. Keep up the good work though!

I was looking at this last night and I must say I'm either color blind or these light and dark skins are the same.... I have 2 browsers open FF and Chrome using different skins and they look the same

:damnit: I dont see it!

I had to get a 3rd opinion on this so I opened Safari and saw it right away... the other 2 browsers are cached with the light skin, nice work looks really nice!

So maybe clearing the data out would work then? Like that FF option to erase all data junk. I liked the dark look for the 2.4 seconds i had it lol

Prefere Am light, AM black is a bit hard to read off atm if its made a bit simpler would be very nice(especially the background), keep up the good work thou :D

Would like to see some support for wide screen monitors as well would be really nice. So that it can fill up my whole screen.

Those that want the light version will have to wait a bit...we're working on an error that shifted people to a skin that was 4 years old and trying to fix that. Once we do, the AM Light will be back.
