Hmmm, jury's out on this one! I'm not too sure I like the new logo, though I think I like the new layout, much cleaner!

Noticed at the mo that the old layout is still there on things like the 'login' page though.

I prefer the old design. The level of white is rather overbearing in my opinion, especially within threads. I think it would be better to make the borders between posts a little more pronounced to separate them more effectively. There is a rather large area of white to the right of the forum index, is it supposed to be like that?

I'm not sure I like the new look, I'm getting a headache trying to read the posts, to be honest. Like someone mentioned, I think there's too much white. I do like the clean and sleek feel, but I kinda prefer the old look, it was more comfortable to look at.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I like the new look!
Not so sure about the logo, but everything else is great, very professional.
I use Office 2007 and IE7 on my laptop and it all matches well.

Well done Laffen and co!

Narrow threads were very unique with Esato...i haven't come across any other forums which had that style.Sadly we will miss that.

Btw,why don't we have any ads on the right side in threads??it could provide money for Esato and also make the threads narrow.

I really like the change but the old one looks way better.

If you have bad eyes do not use esato. If your on esato too long, stop using it so often. The damn site is too white. Its blinding me.

Not every one has a UBC protector or what ever its call.

Come on guys Jesus!!!!!!!!!! tone down the brightness please. When ever i visit the new esato i have to turn down my monitor to the last bit.

Try Black Dark Blue Navy Blue Dark Green Dark Grey or Grey. Try darker colours. Black web sites are very pretty. It does not strain you eyes [addsig]

I have to admit, I don't really like the new look TOO much, maybe it might take some time getting used to. There's just something about it, makes it look really messy and apart from a different layout and font etc, nothing much has changed which is sad

Oh well, I may still change my mind in the future lol

Later
