No report button on GTI or the ability to delete a topic from "my topics".
I've been using GTI but had to go back to classic in order to do the above.

Just checked and I have been using Classic for all this time. GTI and Big Blue are virtually the same layout, are they not?
No, Big Blue looks like a modern version of Classic. GTI looks crap.jeremyc said:

If I put a poll in General Gassing on skin usage - would it get moved to here or health matters in order to limit the traffic?
It's clearly a Website Feedback subject, and nothing to do with limiting traffic.So if you want to see how many people use which skin the based place for the thread to be is the largest discussion area..... Which I believe traffic wise is GG
If you want to bury the thread then health matters (skin issue) or website feedback
I got the option to select PH Classic, so I returned to that right away.
An attempt at some constructive evaluation:
The font in the GTI skin just looks plain odd to my eyes.
The spacing is odd, and the sizes are also inconsistent.
Also - in "My Stuff" the forum names are not underlined (indicating a link), but the topics are - more inconsistency.
As for the liberal use of the "Verdana" font - do you guys realise that there are better (and free) fonts out there?
Verdana is so 1990's.
If you used a more modern font, you wouldn't need to fiddle with the spacing.
And before I'm told - yes, I know the 'Classic' skin uses the Verdana font, but it doesn't have that weird spacing.
And you're not offering a broad enough selection of fonts.
You should at least have Helvetica in there.
I selected site at random (one that just happened to be open in my browser) and:
font-family: apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";
You do realise there are other operating systems out there?
Not all operating systems have common fonts - this is why you need to declare additional fonts - otherwise any attempt at making your site render correctly fails...

I've been on GTI for yonks, just tried Classic and it's bloody horrible
Agreed. On a mobile device it's so much better. On desktop it looks like a forum. I don't have any formatting or display issues. That's the problem - old people don't like change. PH is full of 'em PurpleAki said:

There's a reason why I never went with the GTI skin.
It's utter st.
Thanks PH.
Yes but they don't care. It's utter st.
Thanks PH.
I thought I was logged out when I was logged in - fking horrible and very obviously doesn't blend in with my other active windows....
Thank you PH for the forced change but more importantly thank-you for allowing me to change it back to what it was before - please don't do it again!!

Seems to be going well so far.
I love the way they just changed it and didn't even ask opinions on the type of skin people prefer.If they had done a poll and one was chosen as the favourite, fair enough. To simply make a change and say it will be stuck that way in April is an absolute joke.
The only thing that will make them respond is a reduction in traffic to the site. Whether or not this happens as a result of this is yet to be seen.
Incidentally, the changes they have made have probably made the site busier for a bit. Win!
