Hey, the dark skins aren't working, eh? Well, I like the new skins anyway, so good going. And expect new logos to go with it!

Which dark skins did you try? They are all working for me, although there is a problem in IE where the blocks in the forum index don't reach all the way over.

Thanks in advance for the logos! As you can see, the ones I've been coming up with for the new templates are terrible...

I like it better, now. I'm used to posting in forums, and the other looked a little elementary to me. This is nice. Much more professional.

Personally, I thought the noteboard look gave the site a sense of individuality and originality, although a few other sites may have the look. Also, it was different from all the other sites I'm on because of that look. It stood out. i'd be a happy girl if that look came back. Not that you should set out to bring it back, Nate. You need to just continue improving what you're improving right now.

I think this layout grows on a person.. lol

Especially for people with really bad headaches.. the dark layouts are awesome. I miss noteboard, but this is cool too.

I love how the new posts are all orange. Sweet. Anyways, Nate, those new logos are actually pretty good. You're getting better, I'd say. Anyways, if you could send me the template (blank background for me to put the logo onto), I will get it done right away. I don't really feel like searching them out, you know?

I'm getting the one done for the dark template by the guy who designed the template, but I'll send you the one for the light template right away.

Where'd the point system go? Do we still have it? Me confuzzled.

The point system is definitely still there. Why do you ask?

Good stuff, Lee!

Because when I look in mine or other people's profiles, I can't access them to donate or see, and there is no longer a slot for them in the profile. I am, however, still receiving points for posting in the story and About the Authors sections.

As this is my contest reward, it is important. Also, this isn't just a dark-skinned problem becasue I temporarily changed to light and it still doesn't work.

I'm aware of that problem, but I haven't figured out what's wrong. In moving from YWS 1.0 to YWS 2.0, none of the code was changed, just the look, so everything that worked before should be working now (this is really YWS 1.1, but I like saying 2.0...). I do have an idea though about how to fix it, so it might be fixed later today.

However, you can still donate points by going to a member's post and clicking [donate]; the link is located underneath the biographical information to the left side of the post (where location, age, gender, etc. are).

Nate, sometimes the pages wont load. They give me an error message. And sometimes the site goes a little slow before giving me some of those messages.

That's a problem with the server; I'm not quite sure what's going on with my hosting provider but there are people complaining. One question though, how long has this been happening?
