New forum style irks, but works.

[KenSilver]

Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm finding it hard to acclimatise to the new design here on this forum. It looks almost the same as two other MB forums I frequent, as well as many others on other subjects.

The originalness has vanished, making this one look like every other vBulletin board setup. The familiarity with posters has gone, and in an occasional Groundhog Day moment I sometimes wonder which forum I'm on.

However it reinforces the fact that I won't be changing my own, rather differently styled, ebook "how-to" board. I made a change to the 7 year-old forum about a year ago to make it more distinctive, and its colors and design really brands it as different now.

Just my 2 pennysworth. Moan over.

Now I'll go back to planning my next series of accessory purchases for my SL500. I've ordered 1999-style rear lenses, AMG front light corners, 18" AMG rims, burl & chrome shift knob, and a chrome shift box surround.

Xmas is coming!
