[MLP Midnight]

Well... to say the least this was unexpected...

This is weird...

I miss the old layout. It was more 'ancient' looking (I mean that in a good way), but it was uniquely atu2. y' know. This new layout feels like many a other forums.

First gmail changes, now this? Arrrgh!  Even the smilies are not as iconic!

But as a happy user of this free service, I'll deal

The new Look should only be temporary. The new forum software did not get along with the old theme, but I expect that will be fixed soon.

Thanks Admin! Our regular lives are full of changes, ya know? Some things should stay a perpetual constant, like U2's longevity and atu2.com forum

Thanks!

Good grief! They go down and give me withdrawals then they come back all . . . different. So glad it's temporary!

Don't know if you've noticed, but in the last few days there's been an onslaught of spamm on the forum. A lot of the spam is generated by these spambot programs, and the forum software had to be updated to recognize these spammers. I'd say that only a small percentage of them would actually get through to post their spam in the forum threads, but in the last 2 days alone, there's been about 60 to 75 fake accounts that were created. So the mods have been busy banning/deleting these fake accounts.
And BTW, we totally appreciate when you guys report spam to us because it helps us to act on it immediately.

Wow. I had no idea it had gotten that bad. Thanks to all of you for working your tails off to make sure I didn't notice. Good show!

You do a great job of squashing the spam quickly!!!

The layout seems a bit strange, but if it stays like this I'll be fine with it.

[Monicalea]

Yeah, the navigation is still the same so it wouldn't be that hard to adjust to the cosmetics.

Another new forum!?

You may see a lot of different looks soon. Trying to either re-install the old theme or find a new one we can use.

Haha I think I reported like 10 instances of spam.  Always do.
