The new format just went into action about ten seconds ago.
Looks great but it is very hard to read anything printed in black.
Am I the only one with this problem?

It's hard to read white text on black?

Not really, but somehow that big black bar at the top annoys me.
I think dark grey would look better. ;)

Well, it is slightly gray, it's not totally black.

No, for instance right now I am in the quick reply section.
Up above sciforms.com, Free Thoughts, my handle(moementum7), preferences,
and private messages are all in black.
I may eventually get used to it, but there is a presence of strain right now.

Looking good :D

Whats that symbol on the SF logo?

Porfiry
05-15-04, 08:46 AM
I'll leave that up to you to figure out :)
Though really, it's there mostly for aesthetic reasons, my being a superficial yuppie and all.

To me it looks pretty black. Nontheless, the thick dark bar (grey or black whatever) does not really fit to the rest of the forum design. At least in my eyes. The contrast is much too great. Hey, but it is your site.

But I like the new logo, looks cool. :cool:

No way, put some pink in it!!!
Honestly, without sounding gay, that blue is awesome, maybe turn that black into the blue.
Anyways, whatever you do, right on.
I'm done complaining.
Congratulations on the forum again.

edit;Actually I see it turns blue when I put my gropy little hand on it.

Just looked up the symbol up above.
It means"To have over come syphilis and remain sexually active" :D
Sheesh, don't you know anything? :rolleyes:

Fuck you asshole.
HAHAHAHA!
That was a big button I just pushed.
Sorry Q, sounds like you haven't had your first cup of coffee yet.
My sympathies and apologies.
And here I thought the Q-man was invulnerable!
Where have all my heroes gone? :(

I prefer it with a light background with dark letters but I can get use to anything.

Might be different on Mac, but on IE previous clicked links are appearing as (i think) black, while the background is very dark grey. It makes it almost impossible to see it.

I bet you can Cosmic!
Espeacially that special affection of your cell mate Bubba giving you all that "special" attention eh, eh?! ;)
You sly dog you! :D

I think it sucks, the old was much better than this. Just my opinion.

Your opinion sucks mikey! :D
Just my opinion :D

I can't actually see the "links" on the black, till I move my mouse over them, while "sciforums" is the only one that is visible. This is quite crap compared to the other one. Just my opinion :p

how can you not see the links? they are practically black on white.

Bells
05-15-04, 10:03 AM
Some of the links are written in black and it's a bit hard to read with the dark grey background. But otherwise... looks good.

...only if you're using a piece of crap browser.

Well the links are showing up as white now so you've either changed it or my crap browser just became less crap. :p

I would suggest the former.

Black backgrounds remind me of those cleche rock bands' sites.

I have seen a similiar symbol once on sourceforge.net

Thank you. :p

Use Opera. No problems with colors in Opera.

Firefox seems to render the page fine...

As to the symbol, for some reason is makes me think of the ocean...is it from a maritime culture or something?

I'm with the Sarge, Opera's the best (http://www.opera.com/). Colors are all great here. Though in Opera, Goofyfish's avatar doesn't wink at me but Buffys' does.

Well, I am with Skinwalker and sargentlard, Opera is the best.
BTW Goofyfish´s avatar winks even when you use Opera (in the 7.5 version at least)

you of course know that there are far more sites that show up wrong with Opera, than with mozilla.org browsers. anyways, this is pointless :D for each his own

Maybe this has been addressed but I tire of searching: What happened to the "new posts" link?

Porfiry
05-23-04, 02:05 AM
Er...nothing. Absolutely nothing.

jinchilla
05-23-04, 12:52 PM
Doh! I see it now. Hmm, I don't remember it being over there. Thanks.

I was offline for a bit and, upon returning, was looking to the left side. Guess I was just lost. Happens often.
