    it looks like you got infracted for being mean about it. it seems like they are ok with more politely worded criticism.

    People should be mean about it at this point. This is twice in a row they've "upgraded" the forums in a way that none of the users want, and then when it's brought up how crap it is we're told "To bad, this is how it is".

    Why even have a poll thread, really? We're all just going to have to run Stylish scripts anyway, because there won't ever be a decent default style installed, we went through this when we upgraded to Vanilla the first time.

    Oh well, I'll take that infraction. Someone has to take one for the team to point out how dumb this is getting.

    I'm still uncertain about whether this was a Penny Arcade upgrade, or a Vanilla upgrade. I assumed the latter, with the Penny Arcade folks then performing modifications afterwards.

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    If you actually read the response, you'll see the overwhelming response "I voted yes because I like the new features, but god the default style is bad"...just like the first Vanilla upgrade.

    I've never used a style sheet. I can still maek poast. I plan to pretty much ignore most of the new things. I really have no strong opinion on the changes because they don't affect or concern me.

    Oh you only need one foot in there anyway.

    Or maybe both, but just barely.

    Anyway there's a whole style of fencing about abusing the borders of the strip!

    But yeah it's basically completely different.

    No problem. It was good and totally unexpected to see all you chaps. Again, I had NO IDEA you were all out. I thought Deeb and the lady were bar hopping. So when I got there and saw you I was like "cool!"

    It was a fun night. I feel bad that I couldn't get Tome comped at the club. :(

    I ended up having an even more bizarre night after that, but that's a longish story.

    I run stylish, but things like Ye Old Style are broken right now...and "users will fix it" has never been an acceptable excuse in any other technology circle, not sure why it is here.

    I guarantee that it would take me much longer than that.

    But I don't even mind the current style, apart from the blue bars underneath avatars and the little USER things next to them, both of which are glaring and unnecessary.

    I mean, all you have to do is google "how do I install stylish" and there are step by step instructions.

    It seriously is super easy. It and adblock are the only 2 browser add-ons I run because I normally find them obnoxious and unwieldy
