For a while now, I have been working on a third version of Temporal Reality, creating alot of it from scratch. I've allowed a few people to see this, some within TR and some outside of TR, to get some type of feedback to make sure I was on the right path. I didn't want to change things so drasitically that TR became unappleaing look wise and alienate people. Here are a few things that will be added/changed: - A New Color Scheme - Blue Themed
- Bran New Main Banner
- A New Cell Highlight - Image As Oppsed To Pure Color
- Bran New Gradient
- Bran New Background
- New Smilies
- New Sci-Fi Font For Catagory Names
- New Menu Buttons
- Altered Post Window
There may more features, I am undecided at this point. When PBV4 is released alot of my codes may be ineffective, so I don't want to go over board with them, only to have to redo them whenever it is released (hopefully it's soon) The things I have listed dosent sound like alot, but it actually is. I would guestimate I have about 20 hours in this over the past 2 weeks or so. Me being me, has saved the most difficult parts for the last, and I've ran into a few snags I'm currently trying to work out. However all of that time has allowed me to do things, then re-do them, then re-do them again untill they are perfect. I do not have an official date when changes will be made, but once I am finished and decide, I'll let you guys know. Temporal Reality will likley be closed for an hour on the day I change the apperance theme, but again, I'll give you guys a heads up. I'm really proud of the new design, and have recied many positive comments of it thus far, and it's not even finished yet. I think you guys will enjoy it! I'll post further updates as they are avaliable.

I am 95% sure that the new look will be released TODAY! It's a little nerve racking, as I've never gave a board a make over while it was active like TR is now, I hope you guys all like it!
When it's up, feel free to leave any comments and/or suggestions here!

Thanks Wolf! Everything seems to be working fine! I must admit, it almost didnt get added today, as I had some severe problems with the codes. I have added several new codes. I want to give ConqueringWolf a big thanks as he spend alot of time on the test board helping me solve problems as I ran into them. To say it was a headache is an understatment. As you can see, all of the additions listed in the initial post are here, all except one. The new cell highlight is actually an image, if you look closely you'll notice they are scan lines, so when you move your mouse over a cell, Temporal Reality is scanning the board for you, lol I dont know, just seemed like a sci fi thing to do. The one thing I ended up not including was the catagory sci font titles. I found it looked MUCH better with just regular text, I may use a different sci fi font one day. If you also look at the cells on pages, you will see they look like they are physical, with a 3D effect. I really tried to re-capture the 'sci fi feeling here' I hope it give you guys the feeling of Sci-Fi as it does me. Everything else is pretty much self explainitory. I hope you guys like it. Please leave any comments, suggestions, anything here. Oh and an important note: This site is best viewed in Internet Explorer. I've viewed this site in Opera, and the color tones are different then they are supposed to be. In fact they are so different, it dosent give the same feeling as it does in IE. Just a heads up.

I know what you meant by forums changing too much, and was worried it wouldnt be recieved well by all members. There is one thing I'm not liking, the horizontal blue bar in the posts, but am unsure if I can get rid of it, but it's not a big deal. So far so good! EDIT: You'll also notice there are no more errors I made sure EVERYTHING was working properly!
