new site skin - empire earth 3 sponsored
Some of you may have seen the new Empire Earth 3 Skin, which is our default for a short while. This is a sponsored skin, and of course can be overidden by our regulars when they are logged in. If you would like to see it, simply select "empire earthIII" in your skin selector (doh!).

Yep - very nice aesthetic qualities indeed. I like.
Only thing is, I can't find a link to the forums from the front page (unless I missed it that is)

It's interesting, and not bad at all.
However, it would be nice if the red 'light' for NEW POSTS was a bit brighter and easier to see. Some of us older types aren't quite as sharp eyed as you young pups
The rest of it is quite readable, and I think I may keep this for awhile.

Easiest way is this link towards the bottom of the Nav panel frontpage, or browse down to the latest threads on the right and enter the forums that way

I absolutely love the text/background coloring. Nicest contrast ratio to date. Something similar for a regular forum skin in the future would be neat.

It looks great but isn't the best thing in the world to be showing up in my browser at work. I tried changing back to techheaven (what I normally use and looks mostly appropriate on the job) but every time I re-load a screen or pull up a new thread it flips back to EEIII...

your own theme will override it, if you are logged in. otherwise its the default theme and will be for a while.

Loving it myself. As long as it is available this will probably be my default skin.

The choice for colours is good. I like them. I will take a break from the midnight one for a while.

I'm done with this site. I'm fed up with all the sponsorship this and free xeon that. I started here a few years ago because it was an honest place with knowledgeable people. Now there is advertising in between replies and little worth reading in the tech sections.
Now today I logged on and was greeted by a huge banner that reads "Driver Heaven sponsored by Empire Earth III." You will get no more hits from me.
Goodbye and good luck with your site.
