What do you think of the new look
The blue is just samey and really quite dull to me - Looks like every standard Invision forum (even though this appears to be a phpbb) IMO.
But aside from that, the forum just looks wrong to me. Too narrow with too much going on either side. And the white spaces between post boxes doesn't help, makes it look broken up and half finished. I think the blue might be tolerable (if boring) if the white spaces were removed and the whole thing was just wider - Maybe have a little bit of code that allows users to hide and unhide the left and right blocks to allow the content (you know, the important stuff...) to stretch across more of the screen, and look less cramped.
I also have the moving text on the button problem - Are the buttons CSS by any chance? And if so, why? A normal gif works just fine...
And as a full time gutless lurker, I like to be able to search for ads in the local area to then not reply to, not have a page full of ads from all dates and locations no matter what I do!
It could be worse, it could be lime green and red on black with no Firefox functionality, but I have a feeling it could have been better by just being left alone. Maybe it's a bit of the Vista thing: "We must update, new but knackered is good, old but working is bad" ;)

it is fine for me... just need to figure out how to make it work as well at home on firefox and my home p.c. as it does at work on I.E. It will only take a couple of tweaks at home I am sure.
Ummm and for some reason I am getting loads more PM's and people viewing my profile. I worry that my user name has been put on some sort of virtual toilet door.
anyhoo..... :thumbup: to everyone who has been working their little socks off... especially Noel, who I am sure has been doing most of the work..
splendid

The profile views could be down to the fact the quote button is right next to the profile button
ummmmm that doesn't explain the PM's.... have you been putting my name on the toilet door goose ??

Some good points here, Kiss we will split fetish from CD, Tv etc. The site text was all increased in pixel size with the exception of quoted text on the forum.
We are just incresing the quote size text so keep an eye out!

I'm not keen. The blue makes it look like a 1970's council building, the font is too small and there seems to be a lot of wasted space.
Each to their own.

how would you know what a "1970's council building" looks like ? your to young

What's the S&M whip logo doing next to Dogging on members interests? Can we have a little car instead? or a P for parking sign?
skiddy knickers
think we should change the dogging logo to a nice pic of a "werewolf"
" walk that feckin dog Dippy " :lol: :wink:
) and I'm sure the guys behind the scenes have been working very hard at it ( not 'IT' Quote by celestria
I know that we're all resistant to change. But colour schemes are not going to stop the majority of people posting. It's growing on me I have to say. Especially since the IE7 screen split issue has been sorted
I have to say that both Steve and I are finding it hard going at the minute... We both seem to be getting headaches after reading the forum for about 20 minutes... It's that bad for me that I haven't bothered logging in most of the day and I dont anticipate logging on tonight either
The text isn't very clear at all and we are having to squint to read it. That's propably why we are getting headaches
Sexlightened
funky, alot better, however, problems finding the logging in area

Finding it a bit clinical to be honest. Its definitely a boys place now :upset:
Mind you I hate change and it takes me ages to get used to a new look.
DD ho hum
Girls are all now rushing to take their tops off to prove the girlies have a place on this site as well

100% agree with this. It makes me feel vaguely queasy.

OK good point. Perhpas the wrong shade of blue can be a migraine inducer for some.
I wonder if specsavers are looking into a special discount promotion for swinging heaven members???

er, . . . yeah . . . it's way too blue! i like pink. the alternate blue and pink was nice. pink has connotations re: sexuality and gender. some people might even be inclined to time their posts so they can get pink text on a pink background, just to reinforce the general pinkness of the whole thing! :P ;)
and the text is a bit small. in firefox anyways?
having said that . . .
so far, the navigation is familiar. my usual clicky things seem to be in the same places, and . . .
. . . and this is more important than criticism of cosmetic changes . . .
it seems bloody fast tonight? faster than usual maybe? maybe Tiscali have finally ramped up my bandwidth, i dunno, but it's working.
i can get used to blue eventually. ;) cosmetic changes don't really reach my radar these days. usability looks good. i can live with it! ;)
like the ads! a lot! if i hover over the search results, i get a username, and what they're looking for. saves me a lot of clicks and close window actions! :)
i likey!
neil x x x ;)
