Is the default skin new too? Because I have always thought Zuneboards 2008 was the default style?

Anyway, Zuneboards New Is HAWT!

That said, can I report a dark theme with unblockable ads as a bug? :v
No, because they are blockable.

They're blockable, but they still leave that gaping space where they would have been. To me, it feels like a total waste of space.

I can't get them now, but earlier there were some ads that were stored on ZuneBoards, and blocking them would block ZuneBoards graphics, such as the logo.

Hmm.... I don't like it. But I don't like change either. I'll probably get used to it.

I find it a bit cumbersome as the advertisements are now un-blockable in the sense that they still take up the space that they would normally occupy even though they don't load.

I would think that it were odd that there are more than one threads about this, but then again, I'm sleep deprived at this moment, and I'm not even sure right now.

Adblock can still block them, use Adblock image, and there'll be a radio button which will something like http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/images/banner2.jpg
Something like that, it says banner at the end.

Unless you're on a CRT, this new theme won't save you power. For LCD displays, it uses as much energy to make a black pixel as a white one.

I think he was trying to block them back when they were "unblockable".
They should be fine now though.

Well, I'm taking a look at the new skin, and is there any chance that the box around the Awards Showcase could be removed? It looks so much nicer that way. Also, the flamboyant and shouter awards could use a bit of touching up, some jagged edges show up on the black. Additionally, non-colored usertitles are black and rather hard to read. Could we try a light grey?

Oh, and taking a look at the text, I think that the link color grey would look a little better, maybe slightly darker than that, and then make the links a little brighter.
