Brother, the problem is that you see everything through the eyes of a technician. But because this is my job, to educate people of all ages and levels in the application we have, I tell you that what seems ironic to you, are real concerns for some.

I ask and sorry; You forgive me a great deal, but there are more beautiful ways to express your opinion as many children have done above.
Ask Nikola what a bad smile he had with the previous version of the forum we had. He did not like it at all and said he would only leave for this reason. Now we have the same again. Classically illustrated.
So if there is a good mood to improve things or explain how they work on the new platform here we are doing it. The visual is purely subjective and we will never agree. This theme is the most popular that we have and we've made very small changes to fit the rest of our site's Look.
