Is it just me or has the formatting of MV changed. On an iPad it looks a lot sharper and clearer?

Do you mean the black background? See here: Seadog / Stephen Jackson A mark of respect to acknowledge his passing.

Not at all. It was a very reasonable question if you're not used to seeing the black background - there was a time when it stayed for far too long as too many members went one after the other.

In fact, there are a couple of changes to the forum happening in the background, independent of the current mourning state. In particular, various text buttons have changed subtly, especially on the posting page.

Not sure if this is what you're registering, or just the overall black borders. No worries either way.

Not sure if this is possible, but it would be very interesting to see screenshots of a few MV pages from when the site was first launched vs. how it looks today.

Whenever I see early photos of what iOS looked like vs. today, I'm amazed that so many changes have been made, some subtle, some not so subtle.

I can't even recall the banner before the current MV logo!

I don't think I have any screen shots of the old site handy. They might exist somewhere, but I don't think I could lay my hands on them.

Agreed. In fact, the first iOS-specific layout for MV was way different than it is today.

Continuing:
This is labeled as Logo 4.0 with a question mark. Not sure it was ever used.

You need to have an MV Museum page. This needs way more attention than being buried in this thread.

The BART one is especially awesome. Was that for the strike all those years ago? I took so many ferry rides between Alameda, Oakland, and SF during that time!

Thank you for sharing, and for all of the continuous improvements.
