How does this forum look?

[ansonowicz]

All the contrasty Text & all black blending background make it difficult to glance at.  I'm still looking for a way to make this "easier on the eyes".

I'm just so over white backgrounds.

I'm open to all suggestions.

[StuSSYsporT]

larger standard font

[ansonowicz]

You mean the main body of the individual posts?

[StuSSYsporT]

well.... either its my computer or the site... but the text is like size 8 small (referring to microsoft word sizes).  referring to the posts and stuff.

[ansonowicz]

How are the font sizes now with this new "theme"?

[StuSSYsporT]

its still the same.... its not necessarily bad, its just small text. i can still read it

[StuSSYsporT]

<----- so what are the stars for? the ones under our username?

[Z3RO]

maybe bigger letter and yellow font?

[ansonowicz]

Noted. still working on it. I'm getting tired so I'll have to continue this in the morning. I've been sitting at this computer all day.

i liked the old black look better.  and its running slow...time for a new server! or throw in another apache box and load balance it

[ansonowicz]

The reason it's slow is because you're in the IE and my server is being taken down by a Robot in Turbo mode.

[StuSSYsporT]

sooo.... whats up with Mr. Hellboy?

[ansonowicz]

I got permission to use the Dangeruss artwork, so I'll be working on that today/evening when I'm finished with my real work.

Did you prefer the dark look or the current look?  how about something simpler?

OR this?

I like the dark theme better ..maybe a main pic like the old beta forum... my car..lol

[ansonowicz]

So far people are digging the old sinister look.  Thanks for the tip

[boarder4life]

i like this new F4 theme over hellboy. theres noo way id be able to do anything close to this. props to you

[ansonowicz]

I'm more bothered by the seamless divisions between background, post area, and main text area.  It looks jumbled to me.  Oh well, sinister look it is! 

I'll start adding some graphics somewhere.

[ansonowicz]

i will have to dig into the code, but for you...absolutely.

How do you like the small changes?  Bigger font / text, black background, and alternating colors between posts.

if i wasn't doing the robot in turbo mode, what else would i be doing???

[StuSSYsporT]

we need some kind of separation between posts.  like a white line or something...  its all jumbled up.

but the changes u've done so far look good.  (back to black, artwork, text)

[StuSSYsporT]

can you do the background black and the post area this color (dark gray)?

+1 on this..... some distinction between background and posts

[ansonowicz]

umm...SHIFT + REFRESH

[StuSSYsporT]

umm...SHIFT + REFRESH

[ansonowicz]

-  Width of forum is wider
-  Alternating colors between posts (gray vs darker gray).  helps see differentiating posts
-  Larger Fonts
-  Graphics in header
-  allow the use of embedded flash
