This is much sexier, and the areas where you post are white! This is a lot better!

Is anyone else getting frequent broken images?  for me there's usually a broken avatar or two every time I load the page, and some images don't load at all (Particularly .gifs)

Nice job, I like it too. Thanks for the hard work on there.
However, each time we move/change forums, the colours and layout look brighter. Not so easy on the eye if you ask me.
Oh well, call me picky.

You're right, we have progressively been using a brighter color set. I went with the brighter color set because it lightens the mood of the forum and makes it look more professional. You'll also notice that the color scheme is similar. I didn't want to alienate old users.

The white "quick reply" box at the bottom may be a bit bright. I'll consider muting the color of this box if there is enough support.

I see you also got the old domain back. Someone fill me in on how that happened!

This is not intentional downtime, something weird has been going on that causes the webserver to crash pretty badly once every day or two.  As of right now I am working on trying to figure out how to track it down.

If anyone notices that the forums or any other site I host is down, please e-mail me ASAP at ryan@u13.net since I may not notice immediately.

If anyone is very familiar with Apache, feel free to come to #soldat.devs and get my attention so that I can brainstorm with you.

The new Forum board browsing buttons and overall the category selection height is too big, since it takes too much time to scroll down to the bottom of the Forums. The size of the Board title and description area should be ~15% smaller. Apart from that, the previous darker Teal colour scheme seemed more appealing. Nevertheless this is was not a wasted effort.
