I am in awe of the workload you all must have with this Wittigration. And it seems very new and shiny, but I do have a few, admittedly somewhat nitpicky, remarks.

If the space permit, I would rather write out “(The) Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge” for the sake of completeness.

Furthermore, I am not sure whether I like the colour. It looks too much like a deep-level gaming board, or like House Slytherin took over. And we all know McGonagall had them led to the dungeons. But in all seriousness, a lighter colour might be preferrable, and maybe a bigger font – there seems to be ample space. Less doom and gloom, more gaiety and cheer? 🙈

Oh, is there a way for consecutive forum posts in one thread to be differentiate by way of contrast and/or spacing, as is in place for this board?

Sure, I'll change that immediately.

The plan is to publish at least an alternate "light" skin that is mostly white and light gray instead of the shades of dark blue of the current "dark" skin. You'll be able to choose that if you so prefer. I'm also minded to create an intermediate "colourful" theme, but I haven't really thought about what it would look like yet.

You're right about the font size, I hadn't touched it at all but we can certainly give it a few more points.

Yes there is, I've seen the CSS options for that, but I left them untouched without checking that the colours were set to be the same. This will certainly be fixed.

Call it 'Wittenberg XIV'.

Cosâ board becoming a default for whole Ziu is not problematic.

Keep as much as possible on the Witt Main Board.

I demand Wittenberg XIII as an in-your-face to the forces of superstition

The Republic had Witt XII and Witt XIIb. XIV is accurate.

Also, I'd love to have from you or someone else a history of Kingdom Wittenbergs through Witt X.

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

It should not have a number, any more than this Witt has a number. Let people number it as they wish. That way we avoid the bizarre debate over whether it should be XII (as numbered in the Kingdom), XIII, or XIV. If we can avoid a pointless tussle over something that doesn't matter even slightly, then we should. There are enough of those.

For what is worth, I will keep the current "RTWittenberg" branding and I won't add numbers anywhere. People are free to refer to it however they please.

RTWitt vs. ProBoardsWitt? Sounds sensible
