Default WHAT'S UP WITH THIS SITE?

Don't know if I will see the response because it took about 15 minutes to do this but it is slow, I get on and it kicks me off? I checked other sites with the same computer they are fine.

It was down last night, I'm assuming more upgrades are being added. I did notice an advertise on the Py forum banner at the top.

I hate software driven digital products.

In the lower left corner of any page, in the drop down choose the PY Online 2015 theme. Much better for me.

This last deal was probably the third or 4th one I have encountered in the last couple of weeks BUT the board is looking better and better every upgrade.

Yep, looks like they've changed the appearance of the site just now.

Scroll down to the bottom of the main page and select "Default Style to get the old look back if so desired.

Yikes! I got off and came back to this. Not as nice as it originally was. Please go back to what we had.

Edit:
Did as you said Poncho. That's better.

Agree 100%

The new format takes too long to scroll through.

this is a nice improvement over the old layout. very nice.

is there any way to change the orientation of threads to be 'original post' first and responses after?? it's so odd (to me) for a forum to have the original post on the last page - at the bottom!

if so, where can i adjust this?? display doesn't have an option for ascending/descending.

actually, the 'test' version/theme seems to be one of the cleanest and most efficient. no headers, though - a tad boring.
