Looks like there is going to be not only a color change here on the board, but Im going to have to change the "standard color" that I use to post, as green is now VERY hard to see...

There "she" be....

Lets all welcome the new format, which like the knife edge styling of the new "Caddies" will grow on ya!

Happy B-day PPF and the site looks great !!!

Cliff,
Forum looks awesome. I was very surprised when I logged in, but at least it dosen't look like I am the only one.

One artistic thing that is butting me though is in the header. Your Pennocks Fiero Forum logo, looks bit stuck ontop of the new banner. Point I am trying to get across is this, you obviously spent time creating the header and makeing it look stylish and very blended. And then there is the Pennocks logo looking very flat and pased ontop of the formentioned banner. Personally I would like to see something done to blend it in a bit and maybe bring it up to make and make it look a bit more 3D.

* the above is just my opinion, it is not meant to portray any ill toward others. *

That looks much better

And the new color scheme rules!! (Although it did really confuse me for a minute when I got up this morning a little after six and was nice and tired and came to check out the forum and saw this....now that was an interesting way to wake up )

Seriously, I want the PFF logo to be flat. 3D-logo's are so... 2003.

Just got my cable modem hooked up this morning and imagine my surprise when the first place I go looks so totally different!
I just thought to myself - what have they done? Anyway, I really like it -- way to go Cliff

Mike

Very nice job, Cliff! Thaks for all.

Luba

The new color scheme looks really good! It definately gives the forum a more modern look. Can the light blue in the quote boxes be toned down a bit? They seem to be really bright off the dark background. Also, for threads with multiple page numbers, its almost impossible to read the page numbers. Both the blue before its clicked on, and the pink after are very hard to read. Can they be brightened up? Sorry for the nit-picks, overall I think its great!!

Great Work Cliff! I Love the new Look!

At least 2 thumbs up!! What a treat. Great work as always and a welcome change. Thanx again, Cliff!!!

Dave

Ouch! I think I just hurt my eyes while jumping to the good ol' search page - Being able to compare the two side-by-side I definitely find that I prefer the the darker color scheme!

dunno cliff, i think the 3Dish one that Reality made looks better

You don't mind, do you? I was going to ask you, but I completely forgot about it!

Very Nice!!! Awsome color scheme....

Except for.. while your "waiting" for the reply to "post" in the new page, the small purple lettering is really hard to see.

this change was deffinatly needed, I am a member of many forums and this is a great changge much easyier ont he eyes and a real pleasure over all. Good deal!!!!!!!!!

quote Originally posted by Cliff Pennock: You mean like this? (might need to hit Refresh before you see the change)

Okay the dark backgrounds are refreshing and kind of easy on the eyes, but the blue letters on blue background are all but invisible on my laptop. Its a high resolution monitor with millions of colors so it's not the monitor. Not complaining, but I would suggest changing the blue letters to either white or black.

Gotta chime in here myself. I like the idea of change, but man, it's kinda hard on the eyes. I'm only 28, but ARGHH.. especially the mall listings. The small orange print is a bear. (I'm on LCD monitor) I mean, it does look a lot cooler, but if you go to an older section of the forum, it's a bit easier to skim through listing with the other color scheme. Again, I'll admit it's a lot cooler looking now, but also harder to sit and read for hours without getting a headache.(Guess I'll end up getting more work done, though. I wear contacts. Every time I blink, the text wiggles and takes a second to stop. WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.. blinked.

i guess i'm in the old croud.
"rate this member" of people that i have not rated yet is too dark to see if i didn't know it was there i would miss it.
i like the dark back ground, but some of the letter are too dark.

EDIT and i couldn't even see the screen where it says "something something, if you dont want to wait anymore click here"

Cliff....Heck no I don't mind! It is certainly an honor! I bet I am the only one that had both of his cars in the PFF header! (GBCT in the last one). You can use my images for ANYTHING.

Looks good Cliff. Are you going to be changing the search page too?

By the way I don't see much difference between links that I have visited and the ones that I have not. It might just be me

The green was hard to read before.

Nice job Cliff!
Did you change the software or is this just a tweek to the existing software?

Count me among the people that like the changes, Cliff! It took me by surprise...but didn't take long to know I liked it!

I LIKE! Only issue I see tho is regular BLUE is hard to read so it will need to be changed (like the number of ratings, etc).

I'm one of the old guys and hard to see some of the contrast of dark colors on a black background. The faded tread title, once read becomes too dark to see clearly and read.

I was sitting here looking at the screen and it dawned on me that what I was finding so cool about the new look was the awesome shading in the background. The it hit me that the shading is from the LCD screen I was trying to figure out how the screen faded from black in the upper corner to dark grey in the lower corner. I feel so dumb now.

BAD AZZZZ!!! I love it! I like the way you keep things fresh Cliff!

If you scan all the text with your mouse it is much more readable. The more I look at it and tip the monitor (it is a flat screan) the more that I am seeing test that is invisible to me.

I do think it looks way more modern, but tough to read.

I really don't see what's so hard to read (please be more specific). The orange on the dark background when you view the topic list is very clear on all my monitors here (both CRT and LCD monitors). The white on the dark background is very clear too, maybe even a bit too clear (too much contrast).

All text that is hard to read, was meant to be hard to read, i.e. it was meant to be as less obvious as possible (like the text "IP: Logged" or "This message has been edited by...").

Everything that is still blue (like the number of ratings, and the text "Thank you for posting") still needs to be changed since I wasn't able to test everything.

So again, I'm not sure what exactly is so hard to read...
