A New default theme and a new feature to celebrate EN World's 5th anniversary. If you've been playing with Electric Blue or PHB the new style shouldn't be that big a shocker.
The big new feature today is the feats database. Currently the permissions are set so that only staff can add or edit items in the database. Once Kevin and Russ hammer out a final policy and the debugging is complete we'll turn this lose on everyone. Note that the final version will be only available to community supporters.
I"m probably blind, but is the link for the feats database up yet? I'm scanning the site and I can't find it anywhere.
Try under House Rules. I found it in the "New Posts" box (MM had just added Armor Proficiency (Heavy)) on the R side of the main menu and chased it back from there.
Is it accessible by non-moderators at the moment? If so, I don't believe it should be. Michael, can you check?
Incidentally, that's wonderful work.

Nice work! I do miss "Large Font" (and I know we've discussed overriding the text size in IE etc. but it ends up making other websites look weird). If you're considering a Large Font version of any style I would appreciate it! My vote would be for Electric Blue Large Font.
for some reason the url code isn't working in GD. ....

Wow Michael, a lot of nifty things. I'm not sure I prefer the new style for work usage, but it is cool looking. The feats database is pretty interesting as well.
It's great to see all the hard work being put into the site. I really appreciate it!
Is the older "default theme" likely to be available as an "old school" option in the User Prefs? The background on the new default is a little bit too distracting for my tastes. I'm using Player's Handbook theme, but I like the black background (don't know why... just do!) and would love the previous theme to still be available.
Whatever you choose to do, keep up the great work!

Awwww, I kind of liked feeling special using the new style for so long. Guess I can say Great Job! again in the open now! And I love the Feats Database
While it looks nifty, it's a distraction and more graphics == pain to load for me. Is there ANY chance you can make the old black default it's own theme that will not get played with every few weeks? I like the stealth, but I just can't stand the whiteness of it because I'm so used to the black default settings.
Please just separate the standard black theme for those of us who like things the way they were without having to be played with every time an occasion comes up?
Please make it a priority to get the old default style available as quickly as possible. I find this new style much less readable. Thanks.
Out of curiousity, what is the reasoning behind the change? Was there a problem with the previous theme that this theme is meant to address? Because honestly, if these changes are being made just for fun, that's fine, but PLEASE offer them as new options rather than as a new default. Unless there's a demonstratable improvement in usability over the previous theme, I fail to see the point in this.
Feats database looks like it will rock, however. Now THERE'S some demonstratable improvements! Nice work.
The classic EN World style and a new stealth style will both be available as options.
Thanks. Despite a lot of work has been put into this new style, I prefer the old one. Don't want to sound whiny, but this new 5th anniversary style, although being nice, makes me think of a mausoleum, a crypt of some sort. Of course, considering this is a d20 rpg messageboard favoring D&D discussion, and since D&D is mainly about dungeon delving, and since the archetypal dungeon is a crypt, well... it's probably appropriate.
