The grey/white scheme matches a few of my backround programs perfectly.
Can we also request the PM box percentage full option? I've been on at least one other vB message board where it would tell you what % of your PM box is full.
Also, I have to commend you on keeping this site out of the risky websense categories. I've been blocked off just about every interesting site here at work, everything from sports and games to webmail, and somehow Tribe still survives.

Many msg boards I am on give the user the option of switching between various color schemes (in user options) as well as turning features on and off (such as avatars).
How bout setting a default color scheme / configuration (such as work friendly low colour, no bells and whistles like avatars and the like) and then giving the option to use other schemes or turn on featuers as a user desires?

on dtourism.com, each user can change the way the board looks to them. (something like 5 different colour schemes)

I'm with Rude1.
If this board goes insane with the colours I can't use it.

The new software allows a user to change the look of your board, but because there are so many variables for me to adjust initially with the new software I will probably just start off with a lower key interface as a default. Later, adding some other interfaces.
The base look of the new software is quite different than what we are currently using.

I'm kind of sick of typing LOOOOL. Can that be an emoticon?
Would it be possible to include colour scheme choices?
I have a proxy augmenting the colours of this board to make it dark. Lighter pages effectually stress my eyes. It would be cool to have this built in.
One uber low key to make it look like an email client for work purposes, another to be like the old (current) tribe –baby blue, white and gold, and one like the USS Enterprise had when the Federation was at war.

That sounds like a good approach. Keeping design/layout consistent initially would ease the transition for people, although I think some new features would be good to offer right off the bat (i.e. the most highly requested new features). Over time other new features and color schemes can be beta'd one by one to see what people think. Enhancing user experience I think is pretty important in an increasingly ajax'd / blogged / rss'd web market.
Back to the color scheme issue, I'd love an even more stripped down / plain "work" friendly scheme than currently going, but the option of something more robust / normal when using otherwise. Same way many people turn off images at work and turn them on at home. The image setting could be associated with the "tribe@work" profile.
edit: another possibility is to throw up a list of features with examples (i.e. from vbull doc's or other boards), and give users the option of voting yes - standard feature, no - standard feature, yes - optional feature. That way people can select what they want to absolutely see, what they don't want to see at all, and what they may want but others may not want.
