It would be nice if we could see these background images. Otherwise, what's the point? The white in threads should be transparent and colorless. But I'm guessing that's easier said than done. Or just make the reply bubbles white while people's avatars are floating on the background.
It does look cooler looking to the center. Hope this gets added as a permanent option. cool

Do something about the box with various links at the bottom (starting with "About us" link)! Seriously, it doesn't need to take up so much space. instead of placing links in two columns, try two rows instead?

It makes it so my web browser does not cut off somethings. Also seems to make it load a tad faster. Helps with longer post in the Forums so they do not cut cut off by my browser.
It could just be that I'm too used to the default layout, but I did find the centred layout visually annoying, especially in the forums.

The links box at the bottom is also kinda clumsy feeling as it stands.

I enjoy it. But the background shouldn't scroll and be cut off by a solid color. It looks sloppy

Also, like the pole said, different backgrounds.

Wonderful feature! Much less vintage.
what browser are you using?


I was using Mozilla, but now I notice that it's working on Chrome. smile My bad!

Problem- cuts off part of the aquarium

I find the background immage distracting, making reading posts more difficult.

Are you talking about the white background or the image behind it? o.o

I wish there was an option to see it without the white. Like someone else said, a transparent background maybe?

I'm really liking the centered site, but it would be so awesome if I could choose between backgrounds. Seriously, I hope this become a permanent add-on.

I like the centered version of the site. I just wish the background can be changed, or changes every now and then like the header.
it's nice but It seems to reduce the page size. It probably doesn't make a difference but feels and looks like it does. I think it'll take some getting used to.
I like the graphic enhancement. I don't really care whether you add some new features on it or not but my only concern with this enhancement is this:

I believe like most other things, centering the site should be optional. I personally like the centered site very much, as it is neat, I can see nearly everything at a glance, and it's just so visually appealing. cat_whee But some people may be really used to the old site and want to keep it that way, so it should be optional. Also, the ability to choose between backgrounds would be nice.
