| Alright, I talked to Host and he encouraged me to make this thread.
I think the current forum design is terribly dull and dreary. I also think this could be changed. Let's hear your suggestions on what would make Maxminis look more engaging and "cool", instead of looking the like National Dentist Association message board.
I'll post my own suggestions later when I have successfully formulated myself.

| | I think that they way it looked was fine. Was it changed to look bad so that we would clamor for changes? | |

This is the (or maybe one of the) default appearances for the forum software, which it reverted to after Host installed some very necessary updates. | | | |

Yeah, this is what Host said. He also said it can be easily modified, though I'm not sure in what way...

| This whole issue can be solved by the inclusion of several skins that would allow us to customize how we want the forums to look.
As far as the default, I'd say less white overall. | |

| I think a more noticable deviation of the two tones would be good.

Yes, that's what I think. Less white-light grey.

| I like the new look (with a bit more differentiation) than the retro look.

| Go with skins if possible.
The plain jane manilla is nice for work surfing.
Please avoid black backgrounds.
Other than that I dont care. | |
