Actually it wouldn't be that hard to create a Stylish script that at least uses the old familiar colours. I would have to see a screen capture of the old forum...

a) is it supposed to just cut off the wiretap slide show at the top but leave it blank?? cuz that's what it's like for me, i have to scroll down to see something that isnt an ad.

b) does it take u longer to load? for me it does...it takes me more time to load a page now...thanks a lot and good job overall.

a) I had the same problem on my work computer and remembered I didn't have Adblock : (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865) on it. Install that add on and subscribe to the 'EasyUSA' filter list when prompted. that will solve the problem.

b) it was a little slow this morning to load...but it's not the script...I tried loading it on IE as well (just the board as is ) and that was slow as well.

Thanks funk! If I have time on lunch I'll do an old school script. What are you doing with old screen caps on your computer?

Oh ya, I didn't think to test the script without AdBlock -- I wouldn't dream of using Firefox without it, ads are so annoying! I'm going to add the link to the top post, it's a must-have. Good find, funk.

cb4lif3, the script definitely shouldn't slow things down for people, it must have been the site itself or your internet connection.

AcesFull, thanks a bunch for this. I think I'm going to wait for the FINAL version before attempting to use your scripts. I suggest it's better if you wait as well, since changes will come, and all that hard work may go to waste... probably best to wait until you know no more changes are to be made.

Over all, I think that things look pretty good ( props to the site admins ) but it's going to take a while to get used to things and not all the changes are for the better for some people. I have created a Stylish script that strips out the extra clutter and leaves the forum clean and very easy to read. It also maximizes the viewing area. Feel free to check it out or modify it to suit your needs.

If you are already using Firefox and have Stylish installed, simply get the script to change the appearance of RealGM: http://userstyles.org/styles/8015

If you are not using Firefox, get it! (It's the best browser, hands down) http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

Next, add Stylish https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108, a Firefox plugin that lets you change the style of any site.

It may seem like a lot, but it's really easy to do, < 2 mins, and you will notice a big improvement in readability. Of course you can always change the colours or fonts to whatever works for you.
