Web site/forum graphic changes?

Either there is something wrong with my browser or the forums and the rest of this site has changed its look completely. Will someone please confirm which it is?

 

If it is simply a new look, I hate it, it is ugly, go back!

 

The previous look was brighter with more color and nicer fonts and borders. This is simply drab and unappealing. Another case of fixing something that wasn't broken.

I highly doubt your look if it is anything like mine could be anything but intentional.

....

 

That's part of the problem, I just wasn't able to put my finger on it until you mentioned that. I am not sure how old you are, but I am probably closer in age to you than the average player.

 

Those of us over 40 develop presbyopia, which diminishes contrast sensitivity and make reading small print a chore sometimes as it is. I liked how the old style just jumped out at me. White on grey is torture on the eyes and causes eye strain. Clearly this was designed by a twenty-something who wouldn't even notice such things in all likelihood.

 

If this is the way it is and they are happy with it, that's cool. But my visits to the forums will now be on a "need basis" as opposed to daily browsing.
