    First thing I noticed was that the XMarks tartan background was gone. I sorta miss it, but I'll get used to it I suppose. I've just never been a fan of the "Change=Improvement" idea.

    The change in "title" of Kilted Historian replaced by Forum Historian, may be nice and dry, but the former put a little lightheartedness in the idea.

    I am a relatively new member of the forum, but enjoyed some of the personality expressed by the title of Kilted Dragon (Raphael). Somehow I do not think that Forum Dragon would have the same cachet. I have never personally met Raphael, but feel I know him well through the posts on this forum. The title reflected well his respect for the kilt and his Chinese background.

    I do not need the Kilted Legend, or other automatic title. I get them on other forums, and they mean very little. The fact that on one I have "Holy smoking keyboard" only means that my post count there is close to McMurdo's here.

    The kilt count is only fairly recent, and if it goes away it will not bother me, for I can add my kilt inventory as my sig line if I really want it known. The only factor of the many kilts I do own is that they represent a sampling of the advertisers here and some that are not advertised here. I am able to give an evaluation of the wear and fit from experience when asked.

    I have been dealing with some physical change that has delayed my kilt acquisitions, including a much desired Freedom Kilt (Steve already has the fabric) until my body gets stable again. I enjoy wearing the kilt every day, and the opportunity to spread a little Scot culture with it. This will still go on and the advise of many contributors on this forum has made that easier to do.

    I still get eye strain after a fashion, with the new colour scheme. But it is improving. Let us be patient and see how it evolves as the coffee fueled owner reads it each day.
