    There's a blue version??? I have only ever seen green!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Still using the old, old, green version (from when I first joined in 2007) and I hope to be able to continue to do so.

    What's annoying too is that I never switched to the bland and awful blue , but kept getting it anyway just at random when I logged in. Few days later the favoured green would be back putting a smile on my face, then wham, gone in a further few days , and so on. So glad the green is here to stay.

    Basically, the blue is built to be mobile friendly. The green stretchy is built to be PC friendly (although if you are on an old-fashioned 4:3 monitor you won't notice the difference). If you are on an widescreen or ultra-wide monitor, the blue does not expand to fill the screen. So, you end up with 2/3rds blank space with a narrow band in the in the middle for the forum.

    The blue also has a lot of white in it. Again, not an issue on mobile but on large monitors lots white areas on an already mostly white background as its not stretching just makes it look ugly.

    It's also worth noting that the more white you have on screen, the more electricity is used by your monitor. So, you could also call the blue skin, the energy inefficient skin.
