New board is bleh

Man this hurts my eyes, not everyone can read these tiny letters! End rant.

Not that I don't appericate what you do for us Brad... But I kinda liked the old style we had, this one just seems too 'busy' looking...

But hey! I'm just glad we still have this place!! Thanks!

Its better......the ONLY thing I don't like is the stripes inbetween posts.

I actually had nothing to do with the change. Well, I did convince Ben to go to the grey background instead of a blue background. But other than that, it was all Ben's doing. Not that I'm trying to put the blame on Ben. I wanted to do some changes to the old setup that would have made it similar in setup to this (at least for the logo and such), but he beat me to it by going to this new route. I'd say deal with it for alittle while just to make Ben feel good. He worked for almost 2 days straight trying to get a color scheme that worked, and then adding all of the modifications and such to the new code.

We are still considering a future upgrade to vBulletin, but right now it just doesn't seem worth the $160 it would cost to buy it.

tiny letters?

[SappySE107]

I changed it all to the default scheme that I had modified. If you dont like this, thats too bad. As for tiny letters, its all the same as the old board and has been. I tested it with IE, Netscape, Mozilla, and Galeon.

I think he might be getting to that it is hard to read cause the letters don't contrast. It's fine for me though.

i'm just glad we have somewhere to post after douchebagelow from gmf dropped the forums and wouldnt even let us go back and even save the old posts/info to try and use

[korbendallas68]

Ooops!

Sorry... Yeah, I meant Ben....

Dur.

Yeah it looks great now!

[SappySE107]

yeah, i know, i suck:P I originally wanted to use all darker blues with all white/light text. It looked way too blue, which this is as well but this has more textures. I may try it again later but not for a while.

Looks good from where I sit. Laid out well, and easy to read, I think.

[614streets]

I can definately apprecieate the work, but last night I had a real hard time focusing on the text, It looks different this morning, not the text but the board, what gives?

[SappySE107]

I changed it all to the default that I had modded. This is what it looked like before I changed some settings and .gif files.

I think I need to go in a still fix a few things... one thing that comes to mind is making the user block a set width. Therefore, when the below avatar msg is too long (like Ben's is right now), it'll wrap around to the next line instead of spreading into the message area. Oh, and I want to make the quick reply box smaller like I did last time.
