There's a link in the first post of the thread to switch. Or else log out, as I believe it's now the default skin for guests.

I pretend it's because I want to respond to people who have quoted me, but really it's to see all the +1s that have been lavished upon my utterly deadly posts in my absence. :cool::pac:

After logging on this morning my view has gone all weird.

Text has changed to a plain font and writing has got smaller. Also links on top are now showing the full lists.

Sorry I should have also included them

Internet Explorer 8
Windows XP SP3

Should also have mentioned that it's same if i'm logged out.
I was using it yesterday (it's a work pc) and it displayed as normal.

::EDIT::

I have also tested it using google chrome with the same results, looks like it maybe OS issue??

Also added another screen - the search bar has weird white box around it, like its not fitting in its place (IE and Chrome).

Oh no, I mean, how do you search for who has quoted you in their post? Not who has thanked your post. Thanks!

My 'My Forums' dropdown has stopped working today. It shows the header on rollover, but no items. Clicking the 'My Forums' button brings me to the main page.

Happening to anyone else?

It brings you to something similar to the main page, but with only the forums you are following when you click on "My Forums".

If you want to use it as a shortcut to a forum, you hover over, guide your pointer to the forum, then click on the name of the forum you want to get into.

The anomaly suddenly disappeared at approx. 1:00am this morning!

The color suggestion still applies.

It does bring me to the 'my forums' page when I click on it, but there are still no items in the dropdown. I had 7 or 8 forums there yesterday.

If you go to your Control Panel, are they listed there?

Yup, it's just the rollover/dropdown on the top right of the new look which is playing up.

And now after signing out and back in, it's fine. Weird.

I'm getting that issue now.

My roll-over drop down is working on my user name but not on my forums - I now just get a blue box saying "my forums" rather than the drop-down list...was working fine last time I was on & I've logged out, cleared cache, etc, still not working...

Ah OK I get you now. Will investigate why the new search results aren't finding quoted posts as well as the old one.

Just a quick note to say well done to all involved in the new look, looks great and the top menu is MUCH easier to navigate that the old one. Congrats

It's not letting me do an 'advanced search' for the last few days on the new skin.
Like, if I search by user or forum, I just get every post in the result, not what I specifically looked for.

Maybe it's just me!

It's a bit annoying that you can't search by thanks anymore

I've been trying to use this updates look, but I just hate it. It's so depressing to look at. Makes me feel like I'm using Windows 95. Please change something!
I know I can use the old one still but you're not going to be supporting that one anymore so what's the point.
So mundane and yuck!

Same problem as Posy above, in Advanced Search I haven't been able to do a search by user for the last few days.

In the test below when I select user it places the users name at the RH side of the box with an "x" after the name, clicking on search enters "undefined" in the box and returns all results and not the results by user.
