    I must say that the code part is an improvement, but the underlining is everywhere and makes it less readable.

    All right.Could someone please list all the grievances we have right now, so it could be fixed? Also question to the members in general, now that we have used this skin for a while. Does the white background of the threads still burn your eyes.Or have you come accustomed with it? If you check the front page.One possibility would be to make the background invisible compared to white.Would this be more pleasing for the eye?

    For the links in general. Is the underlining the best option or do you want to have a for example whole different colour for the links in the text?

    I can live with underlines everywhere, but I think the users of the older skins want it back the way it was.

    Underlined links in posts work, but every link on the page seems to be underlined, it makes it less pleasant to look at.

    Personally, I can live with it staying how it is now.

    These options, at the top of the thread, the gray text on the black makes it hard to read. I use them often so if this could be changed I would be pleased. How about turning this (and links) into a more visible (and perhaps eye pleasing) color?

    I will take a look at those also. Thanks for mentioning them A Nerd.

    Taking another look, the only thing I would prefer changed for The Guild skin on the front page, is the removal of underlines on the links to the moderators of the area. (Eg S2TW selection, remove underlines from you and Gregoshi)

    As for in a thread:
    As A Nerd said, with the top bar, the text is a bit hard to read (gray on dark brown)

    Perhaps a white, as it is down the bottom (Tags for this Thread, Bookmarks etc)

    And removal of the underline on the Reply to Thread button, other than that, the Guild Skin is perfect, IMO

    One thing I've noticed is that the Mark Forum Read function doesn't work consistently from forum to forum. In some, there is no visual feedback that the function has executed. Usually, when one marks a forum read, you can see the unread threads turn from bold to regular font immediately. I've noticed in some forums, like the new Shogun II forum, this happens, but in other older ones, like the Front Room, it doesn't. In the Front Room it does work, but you have to manually refresh the screen to see that is worked.

    This isn't dysfunctionality really, but rather, a lack of consistency in visual feedback in the interface. Since it has been asked that all issues be posted here, I thought I'd mention this.

    Also note, because of the similarity in the background and text colors, the Mark Forum Read function and other functions on the same bar are hard to read on THE GUILD skin. FOr a while there I thought they'd gone away, heh. FYI.

    Thanks for the information Togakure. I will wait for another day for any other information and then we will start looking at what can be done for each problem. Ofcourse it is clear that we cant make everything perfect for everyone as many issues are about personal preferences. When you post any problems you have, please refer clearly what skin you are talking about.

    Alright. I pondered what to do with the links as there are only few options available and those concern large amount of links. So i took another look on the STW colour scheme also thinking how the current one is bit dark.The answer hit me as i was missing blue colour entirely. In this test skin the links are blue untill you touch them and they turn red. Also i used more broken white for thread and post backgrounds while getting rid of some white elements all together. Tell me what you think?

    I prefer the names of the fora in the forum index to stay black. It's just that the blue and the red don't seem to match very well

    Is it possible to keep those black, and only have the links in posts in a different color?

    Would dark red match better? Broken white is definitely better than the white white.

    I need some help from Tosa to create a custom css template, but i think the link in posts can have a different colour then the ones in thread list.
