Just trying to gather some feedback about the new skin design of CHF, which took me 4 days to re-design it.

If you like the design, tell us why you like it.

If you don't like it, tell us in what way you'd like to see it improved

How do you find the new skin design? :clapping:

i dont really like the light brown skin colour.
i like the 'wooden-bamboo tablet' either side to the banner, but i think the banner doesnt really represent 'chinese history' well, since the images are mainly of soldiers and armies, and to me that doesnt really embody the image of 'chinese history'.

There there. It's okay. Not everyone loves chocolate. ^__~

Personally, I like the new look, though I freely admit it took me by surprise. But it was close enough to the old skin that I grew accustom to it very quickly. Good job GZ!
Cheers,

I did not like it at all at first, but it began to grow on me to the point that I really liked it...

then when all of a sudden... I am back to the old blue skin...


Whats up with that???

Is there a place that I can switch back to the brown if I wanted to????

Psychologically, soft blue would appeal to higher percentage of people; however, we could alternate the colour of the skin of CHF from time to time to add to the dynamic appeal of the Forum! :)

For those who don't like the new skin design and prefer the old blue skin, I've made the original old blue skin available. Simply scroll to the bottom left and choose "IPB2.2.0 Default" instead of "CHF skin 2009".

Nevertheless, "CHF skin 2009" will be the default skin of CHF.
