I looged on and thought I was on the wrong site. Looks good Matt! Easier for these tired eyes to read.

Enjoy your rights to keep and bear arms.

I really like the new look of the forums.  It seems to be much easier to view, much more comfortable to read.
Well done.

Nice, very nice.  Now, let's name that scene.  I'm saying it's somewhere in Colorado.  It could just as well be right here in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana or even California.  You guys who live in some other corner of this great country--see what you're missing.

I love what you've done with the place. New curtains, carpets, the couch is so comfy. WOW, all new appliances too! This is gonna take some getting used to.

So is this place going to be on "This Old Website", next season? Great new look, from my side of the screen it was worth the effort.

Everything is generally pretty good EXCEPT. The list of whom is on the thread at the top for the most part for me is unreadable due to colors used.

That picture at the top looks like it was made on the Chena River just up stream from my house.  Low slow flowing shallow river, with snow covered mountains in the background.  Huge driftwood logs lying around, and willows and other brush growing on the banks.  And spruce trees out of the flood plain, going for miles.  As I look at it I keep expecting to see a Moose or Grizzly somewhere on the bank, or along the tree line.

Although it could be anywhere along the Rockies, or other mountain ranges in the lower 48.  It sure does look like Alaska, in the spring or fall.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

I like the contrasting colors between post.
Make's it easy to tell when one finishes and the next one begins.
Plus they're easy on the eyes colors.

UPDATE.....


The New GBO Themes are ready for you guys to use...

There is now a Blue Based Theme as well as the Old GBO theme updated with the new header and feature links in the menu bar;
 Green Bar that has :
 Home | Forums | Help | Search | Profile | Messages | Bookmarks | Calendar | Articles | Links | Chat | Buy/Sell | Logout


To change your theme:
Go to your Profile
Look for the option -- Look and Layout Preferences -- it is the 3rd option under Modify Profile in the left side menu

The first option on that page is -- Current Theme: GBO-Default (Green & Brown) (change) -- Click the word change

This will give you the list of themes that you can use, ignore the one that has no information about it... that is the old forum default and the same as the blue based theme but may still have bugs in it so dont use it...

You can use the "preview" link to the right of each theme to see if you like it... Please note that there is gibberish at the top of these pages which I cant seem to locate and remove but it is not there once you set your profile and leave that area.

Once you decide on a theme select the "use this theme" option and then you are set...

enjoy....
Matt
