New Look Forum for 2006!

Hi All,

New look forum for the new year!

Let me know if you like it or not :icon_biggrin:

I will take a wee bit of getting accustomed to it, but I am sure it will be fine. However, the background is rather bright; can it be changed?

The background to what part, Selchie?

Jeez, it's UGLY!!!!!
Might just be the shock tho. How do I tell if there's unread posts or not tho?

You can follow the icons at the bottom of the pages which explains what to look out for!

Am I taking it that this isn't well liked then?! Please say so, it's a 2 second job to put it back to the old style!

No lets keep it it's growing on me already. The colour scheme makes it harder to read the buttons so you can't 'auto-click' but that again might be just acustomisation issues. I suggest a poll at the start of this post mate.

Good thinking Mr C, poll added :icon_biggrin:

All pages, as far as I can see. The blue is very pale - almost white - which is rather fatiguing to my aging eyes.

Now after cruising the forum, I also noticed that the blue font in the index doesn't provide sufficient contrast with that pale background for my liking. Also... Is there a way to make the topics that I have just visited show up differently on the index? The old format did this, and I liked it for keeping track.

Oh you kids, always initiating change that confounds your elders. Why do you think we're so cranky? Gripe, gripe, gripe :icon_biggrin: As I mentioned above, I am sure I will get used to the new style, but am hoping for an improvement or two. Thus my vote is neutral.

Hehehe can she have a non-glacier cherry on top also Taffy :icon_biggrin: :icon_lol: :icon_biggrin:

You can actually see this selchie as I've discovered. Instead of Orange when not read the typing on the normally blank page on the icon to the left of post header. So after you've read the post, the icon is a blank page again.

Assuming that's what you meant.

I've decided......

It's fresh, funky and definitely a grower. Also different from EVIL competitors helping people differentiate between a classy forum and 'just another' NZ forum.

Tammys forum excepted there just MORONS :icon_evil:
