WHY!!?? :(
Nigga stfu before I kill you.
Yeah, shame on him for having a different opinion amirite.

... I already said this elsewhere but meh: I don't like it. I think the blue looked better and the background changing on every new page is annoying. Slowing everything down just to load the image is bull too.

But at least for now I have the option to change to the older site. When it does discontinue then I'll have to grow up and get over it, shrug.

Nice, AJ.  To be honest, I like both versions.  Though the old one was easier with my slow connection.  But I'll manage.   :)

Finally a new theme! And this one looks even better!

Madman helped doing this? I remember him saying something about making a new theme.

No....I did not help with this. This is as much of a surprise to me as it is to everyone else.

@AJ

Pretty nice work on the theme and personally I like the feel of it way better then the old theme. Though....might I make one suggestion? Just to make it easier on the eyes for some....would you be willing to take the white colored text that appears where the gold areas is and maybe change that to teh dark blue color used in the bully logo? since this would make it easier to see and be somewhat easier on the eyes since that way the theme wont appear as bright to some. Since you could easily just take the current theme and using the admin panel...make a copy of the theme and edit some of the colors and have it as a selectable theme option to give the members here a choice to select either version.

Other then that little detail...I really do like the theme and feel since it is pretty similar to what I was planning on doing when I was wanting to bring up to you a possible bb replacement that not only was a brand new theme design from scratch but also a more stable forum backend with enough features to make everyone drool and promote even more activity from the members.  8)

Anyways....very well done m8 and glad to see some activity from your corner.  :biggrin:

Bully Board Moderators and Administrators should run facebook instead of  Mark Suckerburg

Glad to see most of you like it! Made some tweaks today based on the feedback.

- I changed the color of the text in the "gold" sections to the Bully blue color, however it does seem a bit dark. Leaving it for now.
- Re-enabled CloudFlare to see if it helps (used to cause problems but seems much more stable now.)
- Enabled some caching options
- Static "Bully Blue" background color to begin, the background image will fade in once loaded.

As for the slow-loading, part of the problem is most of the avatars are either (or a combination of):
a) Movie length GIFs
b) Loading from a slow external website
c) Ridiculously over-sized

From now on, all external avatars will be downloaded and served up by Bully-Board. All avatars must be 125x125. If they are not, they will be resized for you. If your GIF is larger than 125x125, it will be converted to a static image.
