BTW, I'm 47, and based on your pic at WW2DB: C. Peter Chen you look to be in your twenties so I have a hard time with the "old" line.

Yeah I'm in my late 20s. I suppose not exactly "old", but I'm on my way

Naaaaah, temujin!
This skin is a great asset!
I really hate blue, pissy skin of WWII in Color. I love the forum but skin is disgusting.

BTW, I started to love Zone as well... and look is important.

Only one thing is annoying - red text on feldgrau background.

Cheers,

I think the new look is excellent. As has been said already, its looking much more professional and is easier to read than the blue default style.

Well done!

I think that the vast majority of the members of the forums powered by vBulletin have such kind of complaint on default style.

Jim did a great job, not only with a new skin but also with the stability of this tuned version of vBulletin.

Well, studies show that black-on-white is by far, on or off the screen. It's easiest for eyes for sites with significant text (eg. a forum). I can't quote the specific study right now, however, I just recall reading about that study on readability.
