sadly i think one of two things will happen as far as users who don't like the changes are concerned, they'll either give in eventually and stop complaining or they'll eventually stop coming back because the style puts them off

i think the change has been far too abrupt, the change was too sudden and should've been more gradual and subtle and thus people would not be quite so "OMG IT F*CKING SUCKS!"

personally the new style does nothing for me, i don't find it aesthetically pleasing at all, given the wealth of designer talent who frequent this site i'm really quite disappointed with how it looks, it may sound harsh but i think it looks like it's been designed by a programmer instead of a designer, a few of the older designs (not all of them, some of them were ghastly) made me want to look at them, this makes me want to go somewhere else

Accually, I think there are bigger concerns right now about this site than the new skin.

I've noticed for a while since the "PAID SERVICE" was introduced that a lot less help has been forth coming to simple coding problems posted here, not like it used to be anymore. It just seems these days, less and less coders can be bothered to go out there way and post answers to questions. And I blame this on the paid service. It's as though coders are hanging back in the hope they will offer money to have the problem fixed after getting no help for free (Paid Service again).

This trend has been getting worse, I just don't look upon this site anymore as a great place were I expect to get answers. And if I do, I concider myself being lucky. Originally, I bought vBulletin because of the vB.org hacks, but mainly because of the help you knew you would get here also back then.

But I'd not think that same way anymore because of changes you've made last year which has effected this greatly. Sometime I wonder!

Unfortunately, "the community" is made up of human beings whom are not owned nor employed by jelsoft, and thus should you should not feel any sense of "entitlement" for their free services.

I will add, however, that I have not noticed the same kind of trend as you. I find that great free hacks are being released more or less at the same frequency, and I still get fast responses to any questions that I pose.

Personally I like the new changes that are released so far, though I agree with some of the points made about the style, it is something that has to be improved over time I guess since there are so many different opinions.

I for one am use to busy looking styles, though I know how it could get confusing for some, this style tends to make the site look a bit more populated and active than it might really be.

Few suggestions that I could make for now would be to design better buttons and icons, I know that the goal is to keep the style close to the default look, but the default look is not the perfect look in my opinion.

also at the very top "unread messages" is a smaller font size then the rest of the welcome message. It's a very small change and it doesn't really matter, but thought I would just point it out.
