The popular OOAK Table Tennis Forum has been upgraded, with a brand new look and a brand new domain.
The forum graphics has had a complete face-lift, to (1) to give the forum a clear identity of its own as opposed to using a stock theme and (2) to increase usability and legibility of the forum. Posts are now much easier to read and the relevant icons/links easier to see.
