April 21, 201510 yr So the current site skin we are using was only a temporary fix. The prior skin did not render properly on certain brower/OS combinations so I had to change it quickly. I have a new skin installed and have been testing it for about two weeks. I am getting ready to switch the site over to the new skin very soon. This new theme is very mobile friendly and will allow you to use C&G from your phone or tablet much easier than you can today. I invite you to try the new skin by scrolling to the bottom of any page, click Change Theme, and pick the theme named Nerva. To switch back, pick the theme named Haze. As always please report any issues in this thread.
April 21, 201510 yr I like the new look much better, it reminds me of the layout we had previously. I don't really browse on my phone but it seems to be running fine on my pc using Chrome.

Feel free to leave the skin set to Nerva ... once I'm satisfied that it is ready to go, I will force all users onto the new look.
April 21, 201510 yr Ooooo ... really like the new look, Drew! Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com 1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve "Where do you begin?" __ Dolly Parton __ 'Starting Over Again'
April 21, 201510 yr New look is much nicer than the one it replaces, though I still see that floating-header thing (Safari 8.0.5, OS X 10.10.3) that has a tendency to cover up posts and it doesn't disappear like it used to with the previous skin.
April 21, 201510 yr New look took less study to get used to than Haze, which made me feel like I was in one for a few days.
April 22, 201510 yr Maybe it's just me ... but this 2nd time on it ... all of the profile pics are blue-box question marks.... Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com 1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve "You really think you're in control?" __ Gnarls Barkley __ 'Crazy'
April 22, 201510 yr Author Yeah, that's not theme related. I'll take a look in between flights today.
April 22, 201510 yr Author the pictures should slowly come back over the next hour or so. As I mentioned, it was not theme related, but related to a test install of the the next version of C&G which is on all new software.
April 22, 201510 yr That is good to know as of now I see funky white box's where avatar images used to be for each of us.
April 24, 201510 yr I can see avatars!!!! Woot. Tho, I may have to re-upload mine ... it doesn't look quite right. Hmmm. OTHERWISE ... LOVE this new look, Drew! And, hey, the "view new content" button was EASY to find.

April 27, 201510 yr Nice theme! Works well in Chrome on PC/Android and on Safari, and I haven't had any issues come up since using it for nearly a week.
