I like the bronze; the resemblance to a member really emphasizes the community aspect of it.

I agree with this. We could increase the number of paws shown to make it a little more obvious, perhaps.

Sorry in this is irrelevant, but why do I have so many freaking paws even though Cheza for example has more posts than me? Not that I dislike having this many. XD

Staff paws work differently, basically. Based on tier, I believe.

Not many people realise this but when you become a mod and have all those paws removed it actually stings A LOT ;)

I have a solution for this whole thing in mind, I just need some time to put it together.

Apparently you don't know, 1 staff paw is worth about 20 regular paws! :P

But in all seriousness, yes, staff paws are fixed.

There we go. Switched Ambassador to bright orange. Also made all regular members white, which is something I meant to do a very long time ago but never did.

So there. :P

But I'm the real ghost here.

I managed to load a page right as the change took place, so the names around the top half were the original color, and the rest loaded in as white. That was kinda cool, though it confused me a bit at first.

I'm not sure if I like the white to be honest, it looks so .. stale :S

The shoutbox, also, looks very messy now since there's hardly any color to distinguish who's the poster and all

I've updated the shoutbox to show the names as bold and the times in italics. This should help make each part more identifiable.

Also forced the date to always be on it's own line, most of the time it was but it sometimes wasn't and threw off the look.

Personally, I always thought it should be white. It just takes some getting used to since it's been dull orange for at least six or seven years or so (can't remember how it looked before the layout update).

Hmm, there's also this against the TFF New Year theme, it kinda stands out too much tbh (unread posts/replies list)

I'd probably preferred an off-white or light gray to keep it distinguishable still from the texts which are also white.

That's a good idea.
