I haven't got time to mock it up so this might look rubbish, but what about a pale blue/grey not unlike what we have at the moment? still pale so you can read black text easily, blueish to fit in with the traditional Tek theme and a little easier on the eye than pure white?

just an idea, I actually like it well enough white but since some people obviously don't it seemed worth a suggestion.

Yeah if its no trouble we could have a SamBB (Classic) which is bl00 'til your eyes bleed, then the facelift one as well.

It will not be hard to have a classic one, I will do that. Nige will probably leave this one available for people and at some point I can sort a light version.

Just a note about my comments....

Everyday I need to justify and explain to clients from experience and the right and wrongs about website/interface design. Mostly you explain why your doing something and why it will be better in the long run etc. You often get that someone does not like something but seeing a photoshop is not quite the same as actually having it up and running for example and using it and then understanding about it.

If we go for this, it would be interesting to see how many people go for the traditional look and how many end up going "you know what, Nexus was right, it looks better white".

Of course if it's a user selectable option one way or the other, everybody wins!

Dunno if its a skin or feature thing, but it'd be great to have the thread page numbers a bit bigger and a link/icon to go to the first unread post in a thread?

Done.
I am a bit unreliable at the moment doing 8 till 7/8 at the moment. You come home and you do not really want to jump right back in coding etc.
In saying that im about done.
I had to mod some php etc to sort some bits.

Good work Nexus! I'm sure everyone here is appreciating the effort you are going in to!

As we say in Sweden "If you are waiting for something good you cannot wait to long"

If when someone @yourname on a forum post and you got an email to let you know someone had mentioned you, would that be annoying or useful?

It's not like twitter tbh.  It's quite useful.  Unlike the aforementioned...

I wouldn't want emailed, but it would be nice to see a notification when you come to the site that you have been mentioned.

It is social media - all do it. Most comment systems do it now
I will see if I can do a notification like Goblin Said. more work then sending email but I will see what I can do. Maybe a link with "Posts I have been mentioned on" and go view as a list.
