The FORVM was undergoing a major update late last week that created some technical difficulties as most of you are aware. If you happen to encounter something that doesn't work or that looks strange based on how you've come to know the FORVM unique "look", please post it in here. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we go through some growing pains.

Not sure if its an error, but the BRIGHT yellow on posting is hard to see some times what is written within it

I was noticing that as well as the white background too. I was looking to see if there was somewhere to change that but I don't see anything.

The FORVM is still going through the upgrades, this is just temporary, it will look very much like the original FORVM but with some upgraded features. Sorry for the inconvenience

Please see update information here: http://forum.animalpak.com/showthread.php?33854-ATTENTION-Temporary-Hours-of-Operation-for-the-FORVM

All will be addressed. A lot of what you see will be fixed but it's going to take us a little bit of time. We just didn't want the FORVM to be down any longer than what it had already been down for.

x2. I've been checking all weekend and Monday morning. It sucks that the FORVM was/will be down (especially when the Agent O logs are being followed by so many), but if the changes are for the good of the Animal community as a whole then I'm sure it'll be worth the down-time...

Yeah VBulletin is good like that. They deliver when it comes to upgrades or enhancements.

As a Web Designer myself you will get 300% patience from me on this matter haha. If there is one thing I have learned in my years in this field its that NOTHING ever works the way its supposed to the first time...or the second...or the third...or the 100th LOL

vBulletin is great when it comes to upgrades and enhancements for making the overall forum experience more streamlined. The hard part is if you want to customize the website to your liking. Takes a long time, haha.

Appreciate that brother. Losing all of stylistic templates that have been applied since the get-go wasn't a fun thing to experience. We realize how it appears at the moment and hope everyone can be patient as we fine tune the images for the best Animal experience possible.

Haha, good luck with those sites Razor.

How are we looking now? Still some minor tweaks need to be made but I'm liking how it's shaping up.

We're looking damn good J. Only thing ive caught so far is the "other options" box being a bit off when replying in a thread. Other than that haven't seen anything else.
