The new look, Was: Impending change warning Options

[Somey]

Hi everyone...

I've almost got all the bugs in the forum fixed, and I'm currently putting the finishing touches on the new skin we're going to use. Since all the bugs were skin-related, I copied the settings from the existing default to a new one, and then merged in some stuff from a skin I found... somewhere, and for the last two days I've been debugging it. You wouldn't think that would be so difficult, but there were some, ehhh, complications.

Anyway, the All-New, Super-Sexy, Fabulously Exciting New Wikipedia Review will look sort of like this:

Expect this to occur sometime in the next 48 hours...

The "white hat" logo may or may not worth keeping. Actually, I regard it as a pseudo-logo and I don't really have a problem with it, but if anyone has any ideas for improvement in that area, feel free to start a new thread in the "Wikipedia Review Review" forum on that, and any other stuff you'd like to suggest, with the understanding that I'm probably not going to be capable of doing whatever it is anytime soon.

And now, back to our regularly-scheduled WP-bashing! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

Well, I try to change the blurb on a weekly basis... Sorry I haven't been more solicitous in asking for blurb suggestions...! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/sad.gif)

As for the "classic" skin/logo, it just has to be fixed. I figure the new skin will become the default, and then over the next 2-3-4 weeks, Selina and/or I will try to fix the classic one so that it works properly again. Once it's fixed, we'll post a notice, and anyone who wants to switch back to the classic skin can just send us a PM and we'll switch 'em.

We could also activate the user-profile skin chooser at some point, though that puts a certain amount of pressure on us to keep any available skins working, which is not as easy as it sounds! (Or should be...) Still, that's not out of the question - it just won't happen immediately is all.
