May 20, 2008 19:15:07 I don't know if this is just me, but I find the green Gleemax skin visually irritating, and much prefer the...brown and parchment, I guess? skin of the main D&D forums. Would it be possible to switch these?

Not a perfect fix, but it works for me ATM.

Ah, many thanks. The point remains, however.

Agreed. And NP btw.

It also keeps switching back for me. I set it on D&D default, but every time I close my browser the settings reset.

They should reset the whole D&D forum to the D&D style. It makes sense, and it won't burn our retinas while we change it ourselves.

Likewise. It offends the eyes, it does!

May 23, 2008 8:03:05 I've already sent the request on up the pipe, but I'll remind them.

(It was actually a list of forums that needed changing, so I'm not surprised that one got missed.)

Oh, thank you very much. I hope they listen. The thing I hate most about the default Gleemax skin is the icons that are supposed to show whether there's new posts in a thread, the youth/age of the thread, and whether it's a thread you've posted in. I have to squint to tell them apart unlike that standard D&D parchment look.

Also, thanks to Wizardmon for pointing out the prefs. I'm going to see if I can fix that even though Batshido says that it doesn't consistently work.
