Not a big deal you could bone it if it makes it easier. Hey Mike do you have hair on your head and if you do is there any left.

Actually, I hate the new color scheme. I don't mind the new forum format, and I think the reputation, reporting, and other posting enhancements are good. But the color scheme stinks. It's not easy to read or look at.

Can you be more specific? The contrast between the text and background is OK for me. Is it dim for you?

If you prefer other colors, name them or something. The only way to perfectly be clear is to exactly define what you like.

If you view the source of the page, you can see all the colors being used (in the form of "#nnnnnn" in the code in the customary groups of 256 value * RGB in hex.

This is why a comment about the scheme should be specific, there are over 16 million possible colors (whether your broswer can display them all or not). If you want to be daring and suggest a scheme, you could save a page, edit the code for the colors, save it, and submit it for review to the powers that be.

I think I counted about 77 places where a color is specified on this one kind of page alone, even if the values are the same for many parts, so it could keep you busy a while if it is worth it to you.

I'm not at all trying to be rude, it's just that comments should be specific in order to be more helpful.

I will say this (but only for the hardware geeks): You can radically alter the color scheme at your end. Just swap around the R, G, and B signals at your display. Swapping the red and blue for instance would be quite a change if you don't like so much orange. (works nicely as a prank if done -inside- the monitor) You can also diddle the gain of the individual channels. Patch bay time. If you don't want to dig into the display, the cables and all can be bought at a computer store, assuming you have not sacrificed your freedom to the abomination of a digital video card.

site is kinda dark , like mr. Oso is mentioning.
looks like a "gothic version" of steel soldiers....

I thought I might chime in here and thank Mike and S/S Staff for doing such a nice job on the new format. I like alot of the new features, and will have to adjust to some of the changes. All in all, Good Job!

 

[Tanner]

Okay... so what did I do?? New site looks great - kinda dim, but then, so am I...

Of course, Mom said I wasn't dim, just 'special' -

 

[tacoma]

Sweet!

I haven't been able to log in until tonight. But all's well that ends well as they say. I like the new, sinister look hahahah

 

[JCease]

Mike, thanks for all of your hard work. Most everybody seems to be understanding! I am learning all of the ins and outs.....but thanks again to you! You are a great ambassador of this hobby to all of us!

I really do appreciate all the work that goes into this, but I'll add my . 90% of the time I'm online from my phone (ppc,windows mobile), and until the switch I never had a problem,however now it takes forever to load (20min + ,if at all) and seems to be almost unusable. for reference I have qwest service (sprint) and get good service nation wide. maybe I'm the only one , but when you get done with the other stuff I'd really appreciate it if you could look into this as I can't really get on the site much anymore. other than that and the lack of color scheme options (I prefer a black background because it conserves my battery) the new site is great. thanks again...Jon
