OMG!! Mine is PINK as well!! I can understand your feelings Sri. My sympathies with you.

 

[webmaster]

Purple should be a neutral choice, don't you think? Its a manly color. :-D

Just a FYI item:

There are various usergroups that control what you can and cannot do on DT. Some of the Public (Joinable) groups are:

• Registered Users
  Users in this group are those who have just registered on the forums but have not posted yet. These users can post, view threads, browse the forums just as anybody would but they may not be able to get to some parts of DefenceTalk.com forums (other user profiles, etc) as well as:

Don't forget to read the reply above this one.

In addition to that, new template has been added for the users with dial up connections. The page loads maybe a little faster on that as it doesn't have any images, etc. To select, just scroll down at the end of the page and look to your left and select whichever template you prefer.

Enjoy.

 

[mysterious]

Maybe its just me but I like this new layout that is appearing when I read posts!! The username and information shows above the persons's post rather than to the left side of it. Looks cool and gives a new feel to the whole forum I'd say! Sweet!!

 

[mysterious]

Ok. That new 'feel' only lasted about half an hour and now its back to the same old view.

 

[webmaster]

Just testing something. Probably, we would end up with user option so user can select which display option to have. Either on left (old way) or on top ( the new way).

 

[webmaster]

Now you can reach the "Defence News" Page by typing this domain:

http://www.DefenceNews.info

Enjoy!

 

[webmaster]

Changed some things around on the home page with additional features and integration, etc.
