Addressing the other issue, of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" you have a good point there as well. However, I have changed the forums a handful of times over the last 14 years, and each time some people didn't like the transition, but generally the feeling after a little while seemed to be that the improvements were exactly that i.e. improvements. I would welcome suggestions on how to improve things further, but for me at least the current look is a lot less mournful and more appealing visually. Text seems to stand out better, especially against some of the darker backgrounds, than it did with the old washed-out colour scheme. Finally, as I may have noted elsewhere, while there are a lot of "forum" regulars between 60-75% of the forum traffic at any one time (in overall pageview terms) is from first-time visitors. So I'm conscious that things that make the forums easier to grasp quickly are worth exploring, such as highlighting the first post of a given thread. |

I have taken the blue strip off the top of posts other than the first post. The grey should be less distracting. I've also dialled down the colour that goes behind the actual post body text. Again, hopefully promotes readability.

Absolutely love what you're doing with the colors.
This site has always been fairly drab in appearance, in my opinion, and the new look is very refreshing. Some folks just can't accept change in their lives. |

Today's colors are the best so far (for me).

Well Edwin, as you can see, you're not going to please everyone.
I am no web site designer or developer, but in my opinion, what you are trying to do is a very nice improvement to your site. Others of course will disagree with my opinion, but in the end, it all comes down to whose bat and balls we're playing with, and I believe that equipment belongs to Edwin. So, keep swinging for the fences Edwin, the site looks great. |
