The previous layout is still available to those interested. I changed it because I thought this newer style might make things more simple. As time passes I hope many will realize what I mean.
For example, In the previous layout a picture with a high resolution would have distorted your screen and banner and not to mention it made the page look all funky. Now that problem has been taken care of with this new layout. Nonetheless, you are not obligated to use this layout. You may simply choose the other layout in your User Control Panel or scroll down to the bottom-left and click on "Amanius".

A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
Admina someone today said you are Afridy. Is this true? no one is complaining except Qrratugai admin. she has been complaining a lot lately about little things.
Dear Shlombay,
Members have a right to voice their concerns and opinions. Qrratugai is not complaining. She is simply stating her opinion which is appreciated and perfectly fine.
Sincerely,
-Admin Khan

Admin Khana!
Thank you for being smart and wise enough to be able to detect the difference between complaints and the expression of opinions that don't suit your personal thoughts! I see it's a more rare quality than I wish it were. I also see that we're so blind and our minds are so narrow that they don't let us see beyond what we like to see. Some of us have to learn to just smile when we read something we don't like because it's good for the health and will help us grow!
Admina someone today said you are Afridy. Is this true? no one is complaining except Qrratugai admin. she has been complaining a lot lately about little things.
Funny, Shlombay.... just out of curiosity, and sorry to stick in a very personal matter of yours, but, do you have a problem with Qrratugai? Cause I've seen her expressing her opinion regarding the new look, as the thread asked for eveyone else's opinion... That's what she did. Unfortunatelly, to some, not every opinion is the same as our own. I guess that's pretty much what makes the world something least interesting to visit. It would be just plain boring if we were all the same, had the same tastes, thought and liked the same things. It would simply a condemnation for us all to infinite boredom... welcome to a world I certainly don't want to live at. That's just my thought, though. I'm not sure if you've read all the posts but, Qrratugai is definitelly not "the only one "complaining"" (you say complaining, I, again, say, "expressing an opinion other than your own"), there are other few people. It's unfortunate you can't respect that and decided to pick on her. Makes it feel like the question was just a rethorical one and everything the person was willing to hear was compliments and not real opinions.
As for me.... I like clean. Really. I'm just not sure this is the best color at all. While the other was darker and made it feel more cosy, comfortable and welcomed (something caused by the memories of a nice wooden house) this one makes it feel empty, as I've seen other members already pointing out. This feeling of emptiness, though, is not caused by the color, I think it's more about something we used to have on the sides of the page and I'm missing now. Still, the color doesn't seem like the best choice at all. Being gray one of the shades between the black and the white, the general theme doesn't help our eyes to take some rest or even to increase the contrasts so that our reading won't be bothered by trying to adjust. It's not a perpetuous change from black to a dark grey, to a lighter grey, to white.... I know as I'm writing right now I'm trying not to look straight to the screen, because the colors in the page are shiny and makes my eyes tired and sore in a matter of seconds. I would suggest something with better contrast, as it would make the reading comfortable and the focus easier. Contrasts are there for a reason, and it was not well used in the new theme. It's pretty. But, only appliable if one wants to pass by and leave in minutes. For more than that, it makes the eyes dry, the focus difficult and I really take seconds to adjust back to watching my TV when my eyes are tired of here.The shade of green is pretty, one of my most loved ones.
The other one had a better use of colors and the space. Some times, it seemed much polluted, but still, was warmer than this new one. Also, it screamed Pashtun Forum. Entering here, with this new theme.... it's just another layout to a common website. Lacks identity. And no, to the ones who might say that, it's not because I'm not used to it.... it just plainly lacks an identity of its own.
Other than that.... yeah, I feel comfortable with that I already know; but which one of us doesn't? Narcissus had a problem with things that didn't ressemble a mirror... don't we all? Yet, aside from my very personal likings and preferences.... I feel like there's too much space here now, the other one was warmer and had more personality; and this new theme is good; and clean; and pretty; and empty.
And yes, I'm aware the other one is still available somewhere for those who still want to use that..... I was just expressing my opinion on the new look, as I think to say "No, I don't like it" would be, to say the least, not very polite and wouldn't provide much of a possibility to future changes and betterment.
That's pretty much all I had to say. Back to work now
Gaia you can always change to the other one. Admin said the option is available.
just click on it below at the bottom of the page.
no one should be complaining when there is an option to choose it right back.
Dearest Aseer... I know I talk a lot, just something I can't quit, it comes with being a girl but, if you read my entire post, you would've noticed I acknowledged my awareness of the changing settings.... I also explained what I was saying and how that was not a complaint. At all. :D
I love the blue color motif that appears.
IT'S PERFECT for my eyes!
I have been so pleased with this "makeover" since I first saw it.
Thanks to all who participated in that.
The posters must be grateful for all the thought and fine-tuning that must have gone into the redesign.
Yet how nice it is for those who dont like it to have the option to use the old familiar one.
What could be more fair ?
i prefer the old one, coz it had really nice colour like soil of afghanistan, our famous ppl's pics were there and green leaves looked really nice with that colour
