Glad it's not just me!
Safari is my current browser of choice, but I've tried it on Firefox with no apparent difference, and even IE6 on NT to no avail.

Ok ...
Are guys sure that you're not seeing the changes? I know that a few of the changes are somewhat subtle, but you should be noticing the differences.
You've also tried refreshing your browsers?
Please let me know; I can always have another look at the code after we've eaten dinner.

Perhaps someone who claims to be able to see the changes could post a screenshot? Maybe draw some arrows for the rest of us?

Are you sure that skin isn't just available on some special Stark-only network?
Tried refreshing, cmd-f5ing, logging onto the .com site, sacrificing a lamb (deliciously grilled) and summoning satan...
Nothing seems to work.

My style is still subSilver.
Perhaps the "Override user style" in the admin panel needs tweaking?

What I can see as new is.
The BGLOD top left.
New style of banner
? Smoother frames
Is that what some of the changes are?
Mal I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Sorry but I'm not buying into this whole thing (even though I found the sole BGLOD on the homepage very amusing) but I thought I should mention that my page load times have become slower than usual.

Yes.
I've also seen a couple of SQL errors, and I've sent off a support issue to DH about this. I believe that the slowdown preceeds the SQL error, and they're related, and that they perhaps relate to an update to the DB engine that may have been installed.
Certainly, that's what it was around October last year.

OK ...
That's not good.
It's not what you should be seeing ...
Is it only Nikon users that are seeing the BGLOD, or are Canon users seeing that too?
Of the Nikon users, D70, D70s, D2x ... ??? What camera please?
I'm Nikon D70, but I'm not seeing it

 Strange I use a D70 but I can see it  But maybe it is because I have a 3 MP Canon in the same room

That's already ended, Philip.
But this BGLOD has me very concerned.
Only seems to be affecting Nikon users too. Most strange.
I think I may try and restart the forum services
