Default New EAA Forum

EAA has launched a vBulletin based forum to replace the much loathed OSHKOSH365 site: www.eaaforums.org

That's good. vBulletin is a good solution and is relatively inexpensive. Whatever EAA was using was horrible.

Default yes

it's forum software. It isn't clear what software VAF uses. [ed. vBulletin. dr] An example of vBulletin is Homebuilt Airplanes:

I'm SO glad EAA finally wised up & listened to the feedback that Oshkosh365 was an awful implementation.

Default Ugly

Man, that new EAA site is ugly. The bright yellow and brown look like an easter egg. VAF has a calming color scheme.

The EAA site disturbs my tranquility and messes with my aura. I had to leave after about 15 seconds.

I actually really like the colors there... I feel it's more of an exciting color scheme, and easy to look at.

Great improvement over OSH365 regardless, and I plan to spend a lot of time there as well!

There's a new option just added to the lower left of the new EAA forums website, allowing you to change the color scheme from EAA yellow to basic blue.
