My favorite message board abruptly changed skins. Now, instead of being nice and roomy (if boring) it’s full of borders and lines and tiny, tiny buttons. Needless to say, there is much complaining. Would you freak out if the SDMB suddenly changed?

You can change skins for this board or at least you could as of a couple of days ago. The option was in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. The two other choices didn’t seem to work that well.

Personally, I don’t care much. I adapt and move on.

However, around here, there would be no less than three Pit threads, three in ATMB, two in IMHO, and one in MPSIMS. At _least_.

But they are very fun to read. 🆒

They’ve done this several times in the past. Usually after a week I’ve forgotten what the old ways were.
