Alright, having seen several screenshots on how the changes will effect the Wiki's themselves, I'm not exactly impressed. The changes I'm seeing are honestly pretty poorly constructed and appear to mess with some of the system some wikis utilise, from what I can tell tabbers are completely damaged by the use of the new system which I frankly, do not want to happen.

Gosh golly, I'm a pessimist, I'm honestly surprised that the new themes the staff are coming up with is so...bad. It literally breaks how a lot of pages work, tabbers for one example are literally non-existant right now. After seeing the skin on some of the wikis I personally use it just makes it looks incredibly unprofessional, one wiki I use with the theme literally has the infobox and then the text with an incredibly stupid distance which actually breaks the OCD in me.

What is with the space? I don't understand it, why does the theme have to be forced upon us users when a great deal of us don't want it? I've been on Wikia itself for seven years and I'm honestly dismayed at how the changes here aren't improving at all.

There's more concerns like the chats and sometimes the wiki's themselves being unresponsive to users then new themes going on, THE CURRENT THEME IS FINE THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH IT!

Why do the staff seem so insistant on "fixing" such things what don't need it happening? I'd understand if a great deal of the community of Wikia wanted a new change in theme (this includes staff AND the users, not just the staff) but this is just completely ridiculous.

Wikia, please. I'm actually asking you. Don't even consider changing the current theme to that...abomination, it's awful and I'm ashamed to have witnessed it after having been on this community for seven years.
