    I think the colour behind quotes is quite good, but the same colour over in the avatar area to the left is just distracting, leading to a bit of confusion, especially since the background of the stars is still white.

    Hi folks

    Thanks for the feedback... we were expecting negative feedback immediately... every change we've ever done has been met with it from regulars (though once it beds in people like it).

    The idea was to clean it up a bit - less harsh lines, that's pretty much all that's changed.

    I think on the main forum page it works brilliantly, on the index pages not too bad, and we need a few tweaks on the post themselves.

    We're going to leave it to bed in a few days.

    The old look was too harsh and needed a bit of lightening. We're more than happy to listen to suggesions of tweaks to help.

    But please give a bit of time to get over the "change" effect first :)

    It does look cleaner - but doesn't work so well on thread pages (like this one).

    You need need a border (maybe a single pixel wide line of green) to the left of the magnolia at the edge of the screen. It adds structure to the posts which is desperatly needed.

    And the rank medals need their white background changing.

    Cleaner? I dont get the cleaner thing as it wasnt dirty before.

    You have to remember that not everyone who comes to this forum has great eyesight and other things that affect vision.

    It is difficult to see it now. ALL the edges look to be merged into one

    it's lacking post structure, everything is just 'hanging' rather than being defined posts.

    Have these changes been checked against Accessibilty Guidelines?

    Or are they being made on the fly on the basis it's easy to change a css file and the boss fancied a change?
  • Could we have an option in the user control panel to change the colour scheme please?

    I like my plain white colour scheme. :)

    I don't like the dark bit by the on-line light and abuse triangle. :(

    I haven't seen any other changes yet. :o

    I do kind of think it's prettier to look at but it does just hurt my eyes a bit at the moment. It might grow on me. Might give me a few headaches in the meantime though :rotfl:

    I do agree that the forum front page does look okay though (I hadn't looked at that before :o)

    Okay I am going to stop moaning and start chatting in the Arms :D
