It was suggested by some of the upper staff that we switch back for a while for the sake of those on dialup.
It should still be available as a user option, but I must admit I haven't gotten to the point of retesting the user skins.
Later on when things calm down a bit, I'll work with Whippy and see if we can make a much more dialup friendly version for normal forum display.
While the much cooler version will be there for those on broadband, or the dialuppers that have more patience.
I personally like the black with gold text.
