I know that this will be frustrating for a couple of days. I am working hard to make accommodations. Thank you to those who are helping explain the changes and where to find things! (eg., Aleshanee) <--- good to see you back, by the way.

Most forums are NOT friendly to Google any longer. Forums are not mobile-friendly. I want to keep "the edge" on Google and the latest technologies.

I have also implemented facebook, twitter and google + share buttons so you can spread the insanity! :D
 
Nice. The new look and feel will take a little getting used to, but as far as I can tell everything is still there. And I love the way it reflows if i rotate my tablet to portrait view.

A few comments:

1. The monochromatic icon scheme makes it difficult to tell on the main page whether or not a forum has new posts. (I.e. a little black asterisk on top of a little black folder doesn't exactly pop out!) I realize that the flat and monochrome look is all the rage right now, but a little splash of colour provides instantaneous feedback.

2. The top of the page is under the banner, such that if you click on the orange "New" icon for a thread, the first couple of lines of the first new post get buried underneath it. You don't miss the content, but you do have to scroll back a little bit if you want to see the poster's name, timestamp, etc. - or hit the "Quote" button to reply. Usability takes a hit if you have to hunt for your controls!
 
Good points... I will work on then this week when I get caught up.
 
I don't particularly like the white background but I have never liked it on anything. :)

Another plus is that thanks to the new colour scheme, I no longer confuse the FFF with Facebook when I open a new tab in Firefox.
 
I am thinking that the forum needs to reflect fundamentalism.

1) Black and white with no gray areas....

... any other suggestions?

Though the Standing Ovation is apropos, "Amens" would also be applicable.

Have a picture of an offering plate with a link to allow for financial giving.

You need some more cheesy graphics like a scrolling phrase at the top "Jesus is the answer" (or the like) or have some cartoon Bible thumper on the main page.

Have a forum specifically for soul-winning stories for people to brag in.
 
Bad midi hymns that autoplay

Awesome idea.  Can we make it a unique thread?
 
Could the blue be changed to a color that is easier to read?

Oh. You have to alliterate all the forum names.  ;D

It looks kinda pretty in lynx, too.

(Just for kicks, I'm using lynx to post this. Whee!)
