We understand that a few of you are having a hard time adjusting to the new VAF design due to the slight transparency in some parts of the site coupled with the background image.

Of course it is our goal to provide maximum usability for all members. So, in order to ensure that everyone can effectively use the site, we've created the option for members to remove the background image from your VAF experience.

If you wish to remove the background image on VAF while you are logged in, click 'SETTINGS' in the main menu.

Then choose 'Edit Options' from the menu to the left.

Scroll all the way down the page until you see 'Show Background Image' - if you wish to view the site without the background image, select 'No' and save your changes.

Note that you can turn the background image on again at any time should you decide to view the site as it is intended, and this setting will only affect the way you view the site when you are logged in.

We hope that those of you who have had a difficult time with the new design find this option helpful.
