You may have noticed that the Fourtheye Theme has finally changed from the subdued whites and greys of the old to the hellish reds of the new. Hopefully you enjoy the new one more than the old. If you don’t, you can always change the theme by going to the Themes section on the left and selecting a different one. The old one is Fourtheye 06. You may also notice… Read More »Theme Change
