We're almost done with the skin which you can click here to see if you're still seeing the older one.

There'll undoubtedly be some tweaks this week so let us know what you think.

Also, note that the Forums link WILL be put back into the header this evening.

    I agree . This is too confusing. I can't find anything. It's not user friendly.

    I think if it wasn't so grey it might be OK - Grey seems very bland and is hard on the eye to read on different shades of the colour.

    To be honest the old DS was simpler to use. Not too comfortable with this colour scheme at all. Might grow with me in time but it's a bit of a step back (if there was a way to apply the classic skin it would be good again)

    I don't think it's that bad, it's just a bit too grey and needs to be livened up a bit.

    There's two threads on it. It's almost universally hated LOL

    The post boxes are way too deep. I get two posts per screen max and so much dead white space. Apart from that, I'll get used to it.

    This is awful - the huge blocks of white space in particular!!!!!

    OMG I wondered where I was :eek:
    It is so different and a bit blinding.

    It's great! It looks nice and modern, and the colors work well together.

    Please yes. They said it would just be tweaking the site a bit but it's painful to look at.

    Grey and grey?

    I like the layout. It's just the colors that are awful.
    It's legitimately giving me a headache.

    Also, why not update the buttons (like the Quote/Add reply/Edit) and smilies?

    But you really need to change the colours.

    The font for writing a new post doesn't match either.

    Terrible would be an understatement.

    They're trying to fix something that wasn't even broken. The layout before was spot on.

    Lost right hand side of page. ( iPad ) colour ok. I would however opt for a darker grey, for contrast against the white.

    Too much space, colour scheme abysmal.

    You have sold yourselves to the devil--I hope you're happy.

    It doesn't fit the screen properly, I can only see posts up to halfway and can't zoom out. The colours are already giving me a headache, and the main site header follows you down the page. The smilies from the old site look tacky on the new background.

    At the moment I don't like it, but then again I don't like change. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

    What colours? it's too grey, need more colour less grey and the forum to fit the screen proper.

    I loathe it. I find it hard to read. There doesn't seem to be nearly as much contrast. I bolded part of a quote and could only tell the difference because I was looking for it.

    I really don't like the grey I think it's horrid and not easy on the eye at all - the actual design and layout I quite like though, just go back to the old colouring.
