You were saying it flashes when you receive a new PM, will it display "2 New PM" if you obviously receive 2? When you get new PM(s) the "PM'S" flashing as "New PM'S" (without including how many new PMs you have).

Okay here's the scoop. I do not have access, or my account has not been enabled to fully change the forums look. I had to write HTML code to make it look like this. The banner on top is a completely new overlay. I have to figure out how to put a time on there.
So far the only button I can get to work and show up is the PM's button. The whole menu is supposed to look like that though (white letters). I didn't intend for the narrowness, I think I might have messed up in the code somewhere.
It's very tedious!! But no worries, I will do my best to address the issues cited. I initially wanted the gray (where it used to be blue) to be a sort of muted pink color, but I thought that it wouldn't be well recieved.
I can change that gray for sure. Teal was too close to what we had so I decided on gray. Would black gradient look cool?

I love the new look of the forum. Its awesome. Banner is brilliant, really like the gray as it makes the forum look more modern than before, and I love how narrow it is. Great job!

Kenobi, I was playing around with it...but it makes the page skewed so I changed it back...don't worry I am still working on everything! Nothing is final...pretty much ever.
I really wish I had the customize forum option enabled on my account it would make it so much easier!!

The best thing about it is the name Re- VAMPed. heh. I'm all for the muted colors, and I like the grays of this text. The grays/greys and muted tones are perfect when typing and reading text. Otherwise, on the banner (which looks fantastic btw) as well as in other places, there could be some good compromise with nice color accents, just not in the main text fields. Pink sounds fine, Cowboy guy. I also think the narrower aspect is fair to people with smaller monitors. I try to keep that in mind when designing sites - that other users have different size monitors, and it is more annoying for them to scroll right-left than it is for me to see a narrower page.

The old banners are all gone. They will be replaced though in the new format like the one above. I think someone mentioned that we should have images other than comic ones...that did occur to me when I was making the header. But I think it's a nice change for now. Now that I know how, it can be switched up every now and then to keep it fresh. Thanks for all the feedback! EDIT: Teal added. I think it makes it a little bit more colorful

Personally, I love the new colors. It's just I want the wideness back to how it was before!
Now that the board is undergoing a bit of a reshuffle and bustling with life again, I may restart the Hot Seat sometime soon.

I like it! The banner, especially...since we're finally getting our season 8 from Joss himself, this is a good way to celebrate the return!
