Man, I hate when they force new themes on us, but at least this one is familiar to me. First time in however many years I've been here that I won't have to avoid the place for a day. I bet it drives the non-MP.com people crazy, though.
Title: Re: i don't care about sons of apollo at all but
Post by: Crow on March 31, 2018, 04:09:59 PM: i've never been to MP.com is this just what the forum looks like there

why doesn't DTF look as good as MP.com if so
Title: Re: i don't care about sons of apollo at all but
Post by: jingle.boy on March 31, 2018, 04:10:14 PM: Not too shabby, but I can't wait to get back to the Don/Ron '16 theme that I'm still using.
Title: Re: i don't care about sons of apollo at all but
Post by: Ben_Jamin on March 31, 2018, 04:11:53 PM: Since I was using last years' theme this isn't much different. It is great though I only realized it is like the old MP forums.

Also I really like the background behind the emblem at the top of the page. Good job to whoever designed that :tup

It's in the Forum Profile section... invariably under look/layout. But I suspect it's disabled for today, cuz I can't find it.
