    Just a guess, but Opera JavaScripts. The new bigsoccer way of showing pictures linked by users is now with javascripting, where the bigsoccer of last week did not use javascripting for these images. The user icons and such still work without javascript turned off.

    the guess comes from http://www.felgall.com/javaadd5.htm
    "This last aspect is most important as it is almost impossible to identify Opera users as the browser defaults to identifying itself as one of the other browsers so as to get around the problem of so many web sites carelessly coding browser specific javascript code instead of using Feature Sensing.

    The solution is actually rather simple, to use absolute rather than relative addressing on the image references and links generated by the javascript."

    This does not help fix the problem, but could explain why it stopped working.

    Right -- which is great. No complaints about that. I was just mentioning that the drop-down menus aren't on the My BigSoccer (My Profile) page.

    Well, I'm giving the new skin a try, because the MLS skins' not having rep or user info was a deal-breaker for me. I'd like to join others in saying that the text is very difficult to read; I hope it can be softened in some way.

    I also have a question: the "New Posts" tab from the old BigSoccer and from the MLS skins is one of my favorite functions of BS -- seeing the newest BS posts across the site. Is there anything like this in the new BS main skin? If so, where is it? I can't find anything that would function even in a similar way. (If not, please considering adding. :) ) Thanks.

    Hey nice job fellas. Takes some getting used to but I really like the new look and feel. Much easier to navigate with the banner tabs and tree hierarchy. Most of all I love the white background. Now I can get away with wasting time on here at work.

    Ah I get you now. Yes agreed, would be good if it could be there as well. Though might look a little crowded with all the other options on the left.................

    Taylor, you don't have to go to MLSnet. On BS, go to MyProfile (or MyBigsoccer in the MLS forums), select "Edit Options" scroll to the bottom and select your "Forum Skin." It should default to that skin each time you return to BS. Unfortunatly, the yellow is not back.

    I didn't think I cared too much about the re-design...but after 3-4 days of using the default skin (I really don't like the MLS ones or the 365 one) I am noticing my eyes feeling much more strained then usual and I believe it has to be from reading the text on the new skin.

    I'm just offering one more opinion that the new skin is tough on the eyes. Hopefully when the dust settles, it'll be tweeked in a way to make it a little easier to read.

    Maybe it's just my eyes (though I very much doubt it) but why is quoted text bigger than regular text? Here, look ...

    Two things............

    1. What's with all the empty space on the sides?!?!?!?!?!? Now it feels like trying to browse the forums through a keyhole. Seriously, there's no reason for it so just get rid of it ASAP.

    2. White = No. If I wanted to look at white all day I'd stare at a lightbulb. (which is how I feel browsing the forums)

    Ahh, so now we get to the crux of the problem. You guys decided to only work a few hours on a Sunday instead of fixing this website. Your family is more important? Slackers.

    Don't know if this is happening to everybody but when i try to rep someone, nothign happens .. If if i have to spread rep to that particular poster, then the message pops up .. Any idea why ? Or will i be better off reporting it in the bugs thread ?

    Thanks for responding. I was really missing my New Posts. (Perhaps I should step away from the comp, eh? :p)

    The new look is growing on me . . . now that it's easier to read. Much better.
