Logged in today to find the lovely Imperial Obsidian theme / appearance of the Forum had been changed...
What I am seeing now is like a Hurricane on Hoth -- blindingly brilliant expanses of frozen white, as far as the eye can see.
Is it just me? Or did they really change the appearance so radically?
Ok, folks, thanks to Geordan for this fix:scroll to bottom of screen and click "Change Theme," then select "Fantasy Flight."
<SIGH> Relief! All is back to its proper Imperial Obsidian-y-ness!
I am experiencing the same thing... It was different this morning.
Am I taking crazy pills? I don't see this button anywhere. Where is it in relation to the social media sharing buttons?
Not a fan of the new design. It takes longer to load than before, and it takes more clicks to get to what I am interested in, resulting in more page loads, which compounds the longer loading time problem.
On the plus side... there's a new broken news item with the date of March 31 labeled "Your in Command Now. StarWars: Armada is now available."
I tried to post an image -- and do not have the necessary permissions.
Look for the orange icon, at the extreme lower left -- below the social media sharing icons.
To the immediate right of that is the name of your current theme. Click that name, and switch to the other one.

Lol! Cannot seem to find that one...
It's taking me longer to navigate the site, but the new art on the game pages is REALLY nice. I'm hoping it's just a matter of getting used to the new layout.
And March 31 would suck, but it's a realistic date. I'm still gonna hold out hope that it's just a placeholder date for the article, and it'll be out sooner than that.
Thanks for the help, but the only orange button I see is the RSS feed (none of which work). I'm in Chrome, tried IE and didn't see anything there either. Was the Change Theme button to the left of the orange RSS feed button for you? My RSS button is indented with just an empty space next to it, like there is room for something else that isn't loading for whatever reason.
Well, obviously, things aren't working correctly yet, I guess I'll give it a day or two. Definitely seems like a premature roll-out though.
Yeah, still not seeing the button to change theme.
It is probably browser dependent, giving it some time you should be able to change the theme. For now I think we are just going to have to deal.
Edited by lancal02I love it when a site's new layout makes it look as if the site is "under construction"

It was gone for a while, but is back now.
Yup. It's actually called "Change Theme" now.
Good to have the site back teh way it should be.
Thanks for this.

Thanks for forwarding the fix...the new layout hurts the eyeballs.
I actually like it. yeah a little bright but pages load faster for me on all my machines and tablets and it doesn't take me any longer to get where i want than before. I think I'll keep it for a bit
So when I change theme it only affects the forums--everything is else is still in retinal-scarring mode. Is this the same for everyone else?
Looks nice to me. Ive been exposed to far too many Blog sites masquerading as websites so this real website layout is great!
Great new layout, stuffs easier to find as everything is on the home page.
I like it.
It's also massively better for using at work, it stands out less!
I think its great. Love the overall layout.
I actually like some of the new features, and load times are significantly better.
Don't like it. All that white is screaming at my eyes -especially if I want a quick update before bedtime.
Thank god for the classic theme!
