New Look

Craig, do you have a new sponsorship deal with RayBan? These new colours seem very bright.
... <sits back and waits for inevitable comment from Invader> ...

Jesus, it's certainly a bit bright Craig!!
Glad you reduced the size as it was too wide for my screen earlier, but that's fine now. Might be able to comment a bit more once my eyes have readjusted to the glare

OK, I get the message

I've toned things down a bit - what do you think to the colours now ?

If it's still too bright, what specifically should I change ?

Cheers!

The post new topic and post reply buttons are a bit bright. I tend to sit quite a bit back from the screen and from 3 or 4 feet the writing on them looks heavily blurred. The bar with the author and topic is a bit bright . I think it might be better if it was the same colour as the bar at the bottom of the box I am typing this in.

Steven - thanks for your /sensible/ feedback hehe!!

I have changed the top bar back to its original colour, and darkened the colour of the boxes where the posts are displayed down just a little more.

It's starting to get late now, so i'll leave the changing of the buttons for another day...

Hope this is better Invader, Carrie and Redshoes ?

Just a thought, but could the fact that they're complaining the loudest be down to the fact that their hangover from last night hasn't worn off yet ?

Anyway, it's got to be better than that dodgy pinkish red colour on another forum I visited recently What do you reckon Shoes ?!

I probably haven't been here long enough to comment, although I must say I quite like the apricot aura over in 'the other place'.

One thing I do find useful over there, and I guess you could have it here since you both seem to use Ultimate Bulletin Board, is the 'contains new messages since you last visited' feature. It saves you re-reading threads which haven't changed.

Apart from that,it looks fab.

Hi again Mel!

Our forum /should/ have this feature too - it's all achieve through cookies. Try following the advice at http://www.Ten-Tenths.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/000028.html and post there if it still doesn't work - we'll get the thing fixed for you if we can

Glad you like the rest of the forum though - what do you think to the colour scheme on the main site ? Do you prefer the lighter blue there or the colours on the forum ? I ask as i've got the task of overhauling the look of the whole site soon - and i'd prefer to use a design which people like, so I can avoid doing it again in a couple of weeks time

Yes that was the inevitable comment, just expected Invader to get there first.

I noticed that you were more helpful to Mel re the cookie problem....I assume it's coz she's a Lady and you don't fancy me!
I also noticed Nigel ridiculing the colour of your site....a tad picky I thought, bearing in mind the PINKNESS of Pinkshoes-Racing.com

I can live with the color? BLACK if I have to Craig, but please make the POST & REPLY buttons bigger (I'm blind {Drunk}) or put the old buttons back up. PLEEAASE!!

Ian
PS. Seem to have got a lot of reaction this time Craig.

Thanks Craig, I've got little red folders now.

Come on Invader, get with the programme. Craig's already done the 'pink' comments. Besides I said it was too bright, I made no reference to the actually colours used.

Sorry chap, just can't help myself sometimes

I like the good old blue. This is a bit dull for me. I will grind my teeth for a while. I wonder what red would look like.

Can we just do sumthin' about that damn McLaren at the top of the page. Maybe something in red!

How about if we made the post/reply buttons with red on them ?!

Green ?

With a prancing horse???!!!

Now somebody's moved all the forums (or is it fora? perhaps Brett can help me there) around!!!!
