I love how the quoted text shows up (gray box with turqoise font). It's very easy on the eyes.

I like that part also.

Oh it is, I agree!

by chelle Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:45 pm

OHOHOH I hadnt seen that yet. I do like that!

My shells never spun for very long for me... Sad

if they even did it at all. I wonder why?? I missed lots of posts cause I thought they would spin and didnt.

Much as I hate to be a fawning "oh you did so good" person, I have to admit. It loads much quicker and makes it easier for me to enjoy being here Smile

LOL

The more I play, the more I like it. With the laptop plugged in, it's brighter and I can distinguish the light blue in the middle better, just rough when it's unplugged and dimmer. I suppose I can change my settings but then it dies faster.

by Honey Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:59 pm

It is loading lots faster for me also. My battery for my laptop is broken, so mine is plugged in and bright.
Where are yall getting smilies? I don't see them.
The hardest part for me is seeing everything (small text and colors), telling what has a new post, telling where stickies stop and other posts start, seeing what page the post is one (the box for how many pages the post is, is a grey box and hard to see. I keep clicking back to first post, not newest), and the avatars on the left makes it harder to see who the post is by.

by tara Tue Mar 10, 2009 1:11 pm

I'll get use to the left avatar, it's just different. I have a smiley option right above the reply box on the page alien

Just like it was before,I use the one already on the page, haven't checked it out if I click the post reply button yet.

by chelle Tue Mar 10, 2009 2:10 pm

I have just used the codes for the smileys. On dial up I very seldom ever clicked the box to get more smilies, it would increase my load time by a minute or three.

Ok I see a few smilies above the quick reply. The box full of them next to the regular reply box, is currently empty for me.

by tara Tue Mar 10, 2009 3:07 pm

hmm, I have no idea.

by thebigscott Tue Mar 10, 2009 3:09 pm

OH! I think I figured it out. I just tried it and on mine, I could see that the smileys were off center. They're to the right side of the box. You may have to scroll over inside the box to see them. Hmm. If that is the case we definitely need to fix it!

by Honey Tue Mar 10, 2009 3:14 pm

I see them now Karen. They are all in a single line and are hard to get my mouse to click on the one I want scratch

Got one to work lol!

by Rebecca1340 Tue Mar 10, 2009 7:52 pm

Hold onto your hats everyone -- I think I have something that should be a little easier on the eyes than the lime green and with fewer headaches for me to try and tweak all the icons. I'm going to start fooling around in a few minutes...

by Rebecca1340 Tue Mar 10, 2009 7:53 pm

Oh, and I promise that there are no slideshows or videos! LOL!

by Rebecca1340 Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:00 pm

So it's not as sleek as the green and blue theme, but I think it eliminates the scrolling problems and the problems with people not being able to read parts of the board. As always, feel free to discuss the pros and cons!

by razorstar Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:02 pm

i think this one is a whole lot better, but maybe thats just me

by Lori Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:03 pm

LOVING this one, Rebecca! WooHoo!!
cheers

by tegansmom Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:24 pm

Something crazy is going on here.... everytime I login, the site looks different!

I liked the last try for it's sleekness.... but some things were hard to read. I think you have found a happy medium Rebecca...... Great Job! New look for board - Page 2 78280

by tara Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:26 pm

I like this one Rebecca, new posts are clear and it's easier to read, I think so anyway.

by KellyM Tue Mar 10, 2009 10:31 pm

I think it's great...good job Rebecca! cheers

by trax Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:11 pm

Excellent - Well Done!

by olivefrm Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:21 pm

Change is good. I Love it!

by chelle Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:25 pm

Hate it.
Its awful.
just awful.
I am ashamed to even be a member.
The font is too black, the board is too blue. It loads too fast, There are white bars dividing everything.
The new topic and New post icons are big and easy to find, The icons for profile, PM etc, are staring me in the face.
The font is too fun.

Nope. I just dislike it terrible.

by chelle Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:27 pm

OH and the yellow stars are too "IN YOUR FACE" telling you there is a new post.

and the white polkadot/star thing is staring at you when you posted in the thread last.

Yep. Just too classy for me.
