A couple somethings I did notice...
The ads are chopped off.

And the editor buttons look a little wonky, like they're overunning their box

And... every pic attaches twice, and I have to delete the second "ATTACH" tag

When I click on "Today's Posts" I see the title of each post and the last poster but the forum for which that post belongs to is missing. (IE 2nd gen, 4th gen, etc.) This on an Android device.
Other than that everything looks great!
 
I second this. Mayhap it would look better with an extra point or two between lines. Also, there is very little boldface text now. I.e., unread post subjects used to be boldface; mayhap it's just a matter of getting used to looking for the "go to the first unread post" icon that now appears.
I third this. I am using firefox 50.0.2. IE is not any better. Highlighted areas that I have not yet read are not easily distinguished from previously read. Also, jmo, but the skin does not look very professional.

Also, the headings across the top are out of place.
 
New look stinks! How do you tell on the individual forum pages which topic has been already read and which one hasn't? Are we supposed to get a color key to figure this out? After 17 years, a few times being censored by administration when I was attacked by some of the "Know it Alls" and spoke back to them, I think I have paid my last membership. The content of the TDR just isn't what it was 5 years ago. The magazine shows writers pet dogs, cars that aren't related to our trucks and other NON related articles in the page limited magazine that could better cover our trucks.
 
On Mac OS X El Capitan with Firefox, the changes have made it impossible to enter visible text into some fields. For example trying to start a new thread or trying to log in where the entry fields are the "silver gray" looking background, typing in the field produces no visible result. I had been having problems for some time when making posts with the WYSIWYG editor, carriage returns would not be shown when typing but when the post was actually submitted and then viewed they would show up. When actually entering the text though they did not register and the post would be one long run on sentence, annoying as heck.
 
The carriage return is an issue I cannot fix. It is a bug that appeared after Chrome/Firefox updated the way they handle wrapping with certain CSS styling. VBulletin has stated it would require them to update the editor software used to a newer version --- and that they have no plans to do so. Other than security patches, they will be releasing no further bug fixes after May.

We are looking at long term solutions which will require moving to completely different foruum software. The only work around if you have a browser effected by it is to go into your profile settings and change your defaults from the WYSIWYG editor to the basic editor.

I'll take a look into the color issues.

I don't handle the web and magazine content, and I'll send your complaints to the staff which handle this.

If we can keep this topic focused on the skin/theme I can resolve them faster. I will resolve them but bugs take time to locate and resolve. Thank you for your patience in this matter. :)

Unread posts icon colors changed to make it more obvious which threads have unread threads. It may now show up immediately depending on your browser cache.
 
While your in there tweaking I have noticed something different..

After uploading a picture with the iPhone it drives you all the way back to the beginning of the thread. Then you have to scroll all of the way down to the bottom to post the reply or to add another picture. Did something change regarding that???

Minor I know but it is kind of a nuisance....

I just started a new thread. When I typed into the title, it did not show what I was typing. Although when I submitted the post, it does show up there.
 
This not being able to tell what threads I havne looked at since the last post is really getting to be a pita. Needs to be fixed rikki tik

It was fixed last week as noted in post 50. The icons are color keyed to tell if they are hot threads or not, and read or not. Flush your browser cache if your browser is still loading the old icons.
 
Ive cleared cache, but no luck. Even the icon for this thread shows solid read even though Ive just read the last page and post.

Weird, because I have it working here. I'll see what I can do, I'm working bugs again today. I wonder if the latest update to VBulletin has a thread marking bug... :(

In the meantime, you can select the other skin on the lower/left of the page, to see if it works with that.
