EDIT: Here's a thread with more discussion.

There has been quite a bit of changes being added to the site. We know some of you, especially the regulars, will notice the site itself has been designed differently. You will notice that we are no longer sporting the usual blue-ish purple theme color, and are now displaying a much brighter blue. Panels are now larger, threads are a bit narrower, and so on.

The truth is, there has been a change of leadership for the site administrators. This change has brought upon us an updated Xenforo frontend, skipping previous versions, and jumping straight to the latest version. This update broke a few things, but they are broken because they are outdated.

Our new site admin is @Wizard , who will be collaborating with @Ghan to iron out some of the kinks. During this week, there are plans to:

• Update xF and Addons (several years outdated)
• Restyle the site to something fresh (will not be designing the site from scratch, will be buying something from the xF store and just tweaking it slightly. xF2 is around the corner about 2-4 months and I will be completely designing something from scratch for that version)
• Fixing permission system with @Ghan it is a complete mess
• Setting up HTTPS
• When Ghan gets a chance hes going to update php and all that good stuff.

And more coming along the way. We hoped this should quell a bit of confusion going on, and we will continue to report the progress as they come along.

Thanks for your time.
