The theme scales to your monitor resolution. Can you also give examples of "too much going on".

The threads are a bit cluttered, like the icons for read/unread just don't really seem in proportion. Other then that so far it looks great.

I have to agree on the announcements/sticky threads front.

It does seem far too busy at the top of the main board on the forum.

I'd like to be able to click "All Things Tiger" and then see any new/updated threads straight away but I have to scroll down to get past a bunch of posts that mostly aren't even active anymore.

A couple of very minor niggles for me that may or may not be possible to change...

Is it possible to have the Quick Reply text box open by default as with the previous skin?

Is it possible to have the font colour options open by default on the post a reply page?

I've cleaned up the sticky threads, either by dropping them back into the normal "flow" or moving them to more suited areas (away travel/ticket information is now in virtual terrace).

Looks good, appears a little cluttered but should be able to sort it out in my head! Good work.

If you're using the theme please clear your cache. On windows press CTRL + F5 on the forum index page and view topics page. Mac users press CMD + Shift + R.

I can see too much grass border either side of the main message board.

Much prefer to see the board fill the screen.

Will be even faster once I get around to developing a mobile version of the site.

The theme will become mandatory on the 25/07/11. Once the switch over happens you'll no longer be able to use the old theme as it's impossible for us to support multiple styles (we've tried this before and it became a nightmare to keep the forum updated).
