I have dramatically reduced the file size for the UAF site and forums background. I have reduced it from 500kb to 84kb. Any lower than that and it doesn't look good. It should load a lot faster for people now. I wish I could get it smaller, but I simply can't without making the quality loss too much.

The quality took a small hit but it should be barely noticeable. If it's too noticeable let me Troll or Rev know.

It's easily noticeable, but at the same time, I like it more this way!
Since it's a little unfocused, it's hard to look directly at it, making it a good background. We don't really need it High Definition.

New guy here, but what they are saying is the forum theme has gone to a default blue and white theme instead of the special theme. I am having the issue as well, but there doesn't seem to be an option for users to select a specific theme.

Hope that helps or explains it better!

Knowing Wolf and Rev, they're probably tweaking the normal theme a bit, so we get the default one until it's complete.

I was kidding with you last night.

This is NOT what I left the forums as last night. Rev and I tweaked the forums to make it snow last night, I made my own snow in photoshop muahaha.

But I didn't make the forums skinny like this. I need to ask Rev when he gets on what he did. The forums didn't look like this last night when I went to bed. I don't know what happened.

Looks like he fixed it. ..... Sort of. Looks like there are some issues with the top of the site when in a post.

We're working on getting the main websites menu onto the forums at the moment so expect some issues for a while

We're doing pretty good so far. Overcome a lot of obsticles that these forums have thrown at us. Having a lot of fun while we're at it.
