[Florida Guy]

Looks good.
I'm going to give it a try.

"Options" are good! Thanks for all the hard work.

There is really only one question that needs to be addressed:

Does DeathGrip like it???

 

[Dadsnugun]

The light blue seems easier on my eyes...now that I know I can change the font size!

 

[Iggy]

I tried it and find I have to refocus to read the white script. Seems to pull my eyes out of my head.

It seems harsh to me. I like the old format better.

Hope you keep it as an option

Please reread the original post.

The light blue will remain an option with both font sizes available.

BUT - Dark Blue will become the default very soon. When it happens, all you need to do is change back to the style you prefer.

Took me a minute to figure out what you were saying. When you are in a sub-forum, like The Lounge, there is either a blue dot (signifying unread posts) or no dot (no new posts). That is true everywhere.

There is only one page that appears as you describe, and that is the main forum listing page. You are correct they are two different colors of blue, light meaning no new posts, and dark meaning there are new posts in that sub forum. We get so much traffic that most of the time they are all dark blue. Except the light traffic areas of course.

I'll add this suggestion to the pile. Can't promise anything will change, but I will promise we will talk about it.

You are referring to the large blue dots on the main page which are like you say. I am talking about the dot by the day/time stamp in the top left corner of every post in all forums. With the new colors it is a little blue dot for read posts and a little blue dot with a dark center for unread new posts since last site visit. With the old color format those were blue and gold squares which made it very easy to find where the new posts begin since last visit.

Got it now. I'll be sure that is looked at.

Just as a side note, when you go into a thread that has "new" messages you have not seen at the very top under the "Post Reply" button, there is a button that says "View First Unread"

Also if you push the blue button I was referring to earlier on the forum thread list it will also take you to the first unread.

The negative "look" is hard for me to read, may just be my tired old eyes but I really have a hard time making it out.

Thanks for keeping the "classic" as an option.

Not a problem. Done switched her back.

When the she turns blue I'll switch her agin.

Do appreciate all the work you guys have done.

 

[Marshwheeling]

The dark background is a lot more comfortable and familiar to me. I use it on several other forums. Thanks for making it available here.

 

[rrockefe]

Like others, I can see the posts so much better. Thanks!

 

[psquarejr]

I like the "NEW" look!!!!! The text looks brighter!!!!!

 

[Old 44 Guy]

I clicked on the Red Arrow & nothing happened. Guess I'm blind in one eye & can't see out of the other.

 

[Sunkist]

nice work!

I like the grey/blue format-thanks again for all the work you put into this forum.

 

[Black_Sheep]

I like it a lot...

 

[Cyrano]

Sexy!! I like it. Please thank all those guys for their hard work. How do you find people that skillful, willing to work that hard?

 

[Shooting Padre]

I am trying it as I type. I like the new style, seems easier on the eyes. Thank you for all the hard work you have put into, what I deem the best gun forum on the web. Congrats for such a successful project, I really enjoy being here. (after awhile) Yup, much better for me.

 

[A10]

I've been on for a few hours now. The new style seems easier to read, not so much glare. Thanks guys!!

 

[rck281]

I love the speed of the new server. I will continue to use the old style as long as I can. The new one is too much contrast for me.

 

[UDR2]

Very cool. I like the dark blue and gray style!

 

[YvesQ]

[Batta]

It's easier to read at least on my phone. I like the change. Thanks for all of your hard work.

 

[DRYHEAT]

Love the the Dark Blue.

 

[ConquestN98858]

Like it...

I like the new/modern look... I'll give it a GO
Thanks,
Mike...

 

[smitret]

New look

Thanks for your effort.

Much easier to read.

Continued success.

 

[29aholic]

I dont know, maybe it's my color blindness, but I like the old one better...sorry.

 

[Broker50]

Seems more like the dark background with white print better. I'm in the opposite camp, can't look at it for more than a few seconds, strains my eyes sumpin' fierce. Thanks for keeping the old format available!

Is there a way to keep our desired style "sticky" so if I decide I prefer the light blue large font, I won't have to manually switch it at every visit once the dark blue new style kicks in as the default?

<never mind> I found it, in User CP | Settings & Options | Edit Options | Miscellaneous Options | Forum Skin
