I hope you like Caudata.org's new "look", known as a skin. We are still using the same software under the hood, so it has all the same functionality as the old skin. This new look brings with it some subtle usage enhancements, but I'm sure there will be a few people panicking right now because their favourite forum looks like a totally different site. Let me reassure you by saying that, aside from the rearrangement of the menu options at the top of each page, the way around the site hasn't really changed. And if you look through those menus at the top you will find that everything you liked about the old look is still available.
If you're still gripping the desk and contemplating drastic measures, I have a solution. If you go to the bottom of any screen on the forum you will see a pulldown menu beside the language choice menu that will let you choose the old style of the forum! Hurray! Well actually if you take that option you may well miss out on new features that will be added to the shiny new skin. My advice, stick with the new one and it'll grow on you. I've been using the new one for a week and now the old one just seems incredibly clunky.
Hot tip! The old "New Messages" and "New Posts" options have been combined. Now if you click on "New Posts" you'll get new posts since your last login, but if you hover over it instead of clicking, you get all the old skin's "new message" options too.
Any suggestions? Additions to the menus? Let me know.
(PS: If you're looking at this with the old skin then that tip on the new messages won't make sense to you)
