Hi Otto

You did ask for comment and Bai Jove !, you got it

My own immediate reaction is not to like the changes, but then, at my age you dont like change.
I now find that I have to set my screen to 125% to eliminate the Grey/Black Bars that others have also commented on.

I see that the skin of the sister site WW2 Talk remains untouched..... dare I hope that it will remain so?

Having said that, as site owner/organiser yours is largely a thankless task, and I for one will support your site through whatever changes you care to make in the interests of improvement.

Best wishes

Ron
