I seem to be the lone voice in the wilderness here,

I like the new format, I like the new look.

I find it much more vibrant, much cleaner and easier to read than the previous version.

So, as the lone voice in the wilderness I say, thank you and well done.

I do, however, have one suggestion or request......

Would it be possible to put a drop down style navigation button somewhere at the top of the page as well?

So you could navigate directly to a specific forum?

You find this faded, washed out look "vibrant"??

When I think of "vibrant" I think of crisp, visible, jewel tones, not something that looks like it's been through the wash 100 times.

I kinda like it too. Believe me, if the colors were more vibrant (less "washed out" as you put it), you'd find out about eye fatigue in short order. And migraines.
