Anybody else having difficulties with the new colors?
The light blue text / links are not the easiest on the eyes...
Yes, and it's hard to read. Hurts my eyes.
I suspect there are still some missing background images.
Ohhhhh Purdy !
Very hard to read. Impossible in a bright office.
Also somewhat irritating pallet.
Wow. This. Is. Ugly.
The small yellow type on white background is impossible for me to read. The color scheme is fine but a little "lightweight" for such an intelligent forum. I assume its all in progress.
Greasemonkey FireFox extension to the rescue...
It's bad.....
So the site got hacked, right?
It occurs to me that the fact that I'm still using the forum despite the questionable look means I may have an addiction I need to deal with. ;)
(Seriously, I see the potential but the way it is right now is...somewhat lacking)
While I like the colors for the website in general, they also need to have an alternate pallet for readability. This just doesn't do it. It could induce migraines, that's for sure!
Kind of hard to use the forum when it's causing epileptic seizures.
Well we've got a thread where everyone seems to share the same opinion.

Not very eye-friendly. Would definitely fail a vision-impaired usability test.
Just as I suspected of admin./mods.....too bright and no personality. :D
Wow ! with my blue and red 3-D glasses. It looks normal again. 8)
I can't look at this any more.

Look guys! It worked! It worked!
You can switch it back now.
I kid, I kid.
I pulled it up on my iphone this morning and was blinded. Worse on my 24" monitor.
Yea, the light blue lettering could perhaps use some darkening. The rest of the colors look a tad bit off as well. Something doesn't seem right. Perhaps its the really pale pink background thats throwing the color scheme out of kilter? The pink goes ok with the blue, but it goes blech with the yellow. The green is also perhaps a tad off from going well with either the blue and pink or the yellow, its trying to do both but not quite there. The gold color is desaturated, the green is desaturated, the light blue is not as desaturated. Then you still have bits of the old purple/blue here and there (in the quotes and the "Now Gets New banner"). It's like there are several soft (which makes it tricky to balance) color schemes going on that clash. Pick one color scheme and go with that lol.
We have some web developers who modified the wrong directory. I'm changing it back soon.. hopefully.

Except on this particular thread of course. If you change this thread we'll look even more foolish than usual.
Oh, there it goes.
Just as well. The other colors were giving me the pee shivers.
Sorry, can't do it thread-by-thread
Thank you...I don't like the feeling of being high when I'm not! ;)
I think it may be all about change. Ok there ! I said it ! It's all Obamas fault that I dont like change anymore. ;D

It will be changing, but there are some kinks to work out in font colors and sizes before it goes live. That version had a lot of non-contrasting colors and font sizes that need to be trimmed.

It looks like it could be a pretty nice theme, but yeah, definitely needs to be finished first. ;)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Excellent. Works good on my Atrix.
Woot!
Thank you so much for changing it back! I logged in early this morning and was nearly blinded because I had just waken up at 5:00 AM.
Thanks for un-bucking that..... ;D
Thanks for changing back for now.

Is that possible?
Regardless of new colors I'm glad to see you've hooked the site into Tapatalk. I use it for another board. When I visited the board in my iPhone tonight I got the popup. Good stuff.

Yep, i have it installed on a board I run. Makes it so much easier to read via smart phones, especially since it's available for almost all smart phone platforms (including WebOS, Blackberry and WP7).
no idea what this tapatalk is, I go to the site on my droid and it is pretty much the same.

oh, the ire wasn't directed towards you. Just at my need of a new phone. Very irritating when you want a new app.

What kind of phone do you have now?

Android Hauwei Ascend. It had a glitch come up with the marketplace a few months ago after a reset (GPS was starting to get off), which kept me from downloading apps that I had bought. It just went downhill from there. I'm hoping to get a new one in the next few weeks.

I was going to say get an Atrix because AT&T has them for free now, but I think it's only with a new 2-year contract. This phone is a monster when it comes to speed. I think it's currently the only android phone on the market with a dual-core processor.
EDIT: Think I'm wrong about the dual-core assertion, but they market it as the worlds most powerful smartphone. That's kind of a broad statement, so take it how you will. It's a good phone, though.

I'm not on AT&T, so that wouldn't do me much good. I don't think my company offers it. In any case, I'm looking at around $200 for a new one, which is why I'm waiting to get it. It will be nice to have one without a busted screen lens.

Does the Atrix allow you to move files by bluetooth, or is it crippled like the iPhone where you have to use the network whenever you want to send files?

Yes, it allows you to do that. Although I tried moving files from the Atrix to my old iPhone, and that didn't work. Anything else it works fine for.

Peer-to-peer wifi is where it's at. No additional power consumption and easier to use. Bluetooth is so 2008.

Atrix can do ad-hoc as well; there are just better apps for bluetooth sharing. That and the fact my new pc has bluetooth built-in.

Nice phone. I'd have one if free didn't come with strings like "with a $30 a month data plan". I don't really want to double my monthly for data and messaging, since I already have unlimited data and enough messages to be effectively unlimited for me. I just can't justify permanently increasing my cell phone bill by $20 a month when I can just buy smartphones at&t doesn't sell and keep my 2004-era data/text plan.
