We are back!

In all, nice to see the old boy back up and running in such fine form.

edit: it's useless to kern in photoshop at 72ppi but here's an example

Thanks for the input on the font - I put the one we are using together in literally about 45 seconds including spacing, so there will definitely be refinements if not a serious revamp. We'll see.

Thank you, J.

You mean there's once-in-a-life-time-live-or-die-no-consequence-all-out flame war? And I missed that? Anyone saved the chat log? It's going to be priceless.

Clearly those of us not using the chat are missing out on something special.

Clearly I am enjoying the wonders of multi-quote!

I really like it! In fact, robin's egg blue as the border/background would be even classier, though I don't expect such a change. The new logo is fine, if a bit unexciting (sorry BrianSD)...but I do like the red U.

Good job guys! The site is now way easier on the eyes

Regarding the u I do think it's a very nice touch to make it less a generic text logo. It stands out way more, like any respectable business would try to achieve - which is all good!

Pretty fast server move.

I like the new background and logo. Personally, I'd prefer a bit less empty space either side of the actual content, but I suspect I'll adjust!

(does using a widescreen monitor have an effect on this or does the formatting automatically compensate for this?)

Regardless, congratulations on such a swift and apparently pain-free move!

a bright red button will also make your gray suit stand out from across the room, but it doesn't make it a better suit.

No but a bold tie or pocket square could make it a less boring outfit

If it's a debate over format vs content, I'll take content.

One thing....my email notifiers (for thread subscriptions) aren't working correctly. They keep trying to take me to the old site.

Will this be fixed soon? Or has this been explained already?

I feel sort of... left out. I didn't even know SF was gone.

I like the new look guys. And the red U makes me think you all are thinking of me.

Kinda Sally Field-ish.

The, new, design seems faint, praised.
