IMHO, the staff and devs deserve a round of thanks for efforting some changes to breathe "new life" into our beloved site. So far, I see no changes to functionality, as far as navigating the site, PMs, etc. I did see some peculiarities regarding the Premium Downloader - it doesn't want to load on the tab for me. Not sure if that's temporary or what (sure hope so) Only other thing is, as a fan of dark themes, I would Love to see a dark version of the new "look" in the future, if at all possible. Thanx!

What heresy is this!?!?
The old style was working just fine so why did you have to do this?
Now I can't find the "Mark this topic/forum read" button and bunch of other settings so I have no idea if it registers or not!!!!
And where is the "Log in" button???

Change is inevitable, useful, and good. It will take a bit to get accustomed to the new look and find my way around but I am sure I will be very happy with the new and improved site in no time. Good job guys!

I can only imagine how much (unpaid) time and effort went into this update, and I know it has to be a labour of love, and we all appreciate your hard work. I don't mean to sound like an ungrateful prat, but I'm really not digging this new look either. Looks like lot of people agree- Is there any options for individual/user chosen themes? When I admined for a NING site, and for a private domain that used a per-designed template layout, they both gave us the option to give users a set of themes they could choose from, so when they were logged in, the website theme is the one they chose. If they weren't logged in, they just saw the default layout/theme for the site. Any chance of that in the future?

You just need to put your cursor over PREFERENCES. If you're on a forum/subforum or a thread, it'll give you the option of marking it as read. The "log out" is also there:

Thanks a buch for this fast help!

One more thing to remark about the new look - there is no path for the forum topics (example: ebook - by category - fiction...) for easier going back to parent topic.

My man, are you serious? You're logged in and just made a post, why would there be a Log In button?

Not liking this at all - hard to tell what books are viewed and what aren't. Also the links for direct download are working well - so do and some don't.

WTF have you done?
Terrible design. If it's not broken, don't F it up for the sake of it.

Is there ANYWAY how we could please have the option of going back to the old version? Sorry, but I am not a fan of this new design at all :(

Its not to bad just going to take a bit getting use to it. Change is never easy. It just seems hard to read for me , maybe font bold and a bit bigger might be nice

Any change will surely take time provided if we have an option to go back to the old one, i would be on that list.
The blue was calm to eyes.I spend many hours on this site but the new theme is quite bold to the eyes.Feels like just closing the window..
