Now I know such a phrase will scare the pants off many regulars. Yet don't worry, we're going to trial some very very minor cosmetic tweaks; the aim to make the forum look just a little bit cleaner.
It's purely cosmetic, no changes in functionality or operation. So do see if you can spot it tomorrow (it won't be that easy)
You may want to take a screen grab of the forum now to spot the differences.

Update Note 7pm Fri 23 Jan 2009
Hi folks,
Thanks for the feedback.
Having reviewed the office monitors I think part of the problem is different settings, on some screens its fine, on others it does glare and become difficult to read. We are going to roll it back sometime today (fri) or tomorrow and do some tweaks to it.
Generally I think the concept a positive one - its much less scary on the forum front page and looks better (on a standard set monitor) there are some problems at post level though.
The difficulty is the changes we've made are overarching template changes rather than at any sub level - so things you've pointed out - such as the user cp box - is simply an automated change rather than a design change.
At this stage we'd focused on our three core areas.
Certainly the front page section with a few minor colour changes works well, but we need to find a way of making it work at post level.

The green is a much lighter shade. Also the little icons that show new messages etc are different.
