It loaded up fine for me, and I think it is one of the best skins I have seen for a while. Very nice.

To be honest, I like it the way it is. The "Recent Posts" bar on the right side is a feature I'm not fond of losing/moving.

Features are not lost in the new theme, it's just that they aren't visible yet as the theme is not finished.

There's some minor graphical glitches that I noticed which have to be adjusted first amongst other things.

Oooh, we have a tab icon now..

Yes I got to see it magically change before my eyes.

@Snake
If you don't like the new skin, just stay with the old one, thats what the skin option is for.

Is anyone else default skin changing?

It's changed. It's just a slight gradient, pattern, and gloss

Minor change.

The reason for that is that the new theme will have to be delayed as a major forum upgrade is coming around soon. And that new theme won't be compatible right away. So it's best to put it on hold.

I thought some things had been changed. Looks good.

I noticed it. I love to "pimp" skins up. Just like my myspace is glossy and has a background picture and the skin scrolls over it. I love all that.
