I came home at 3am and i really felt sick after seeing the BB. I think alcohol and the new BB do not mix.

Thanks for the time spent on the site guys.

Overall a refreshing change from the old theme.

Firefox user here, no problems with redirection or display.

Regards,
Sun

I don't mind the yellow. And once I'm actually into a thread its ok. But once I've jumped into a forum, in the thread select screen. The text is too light, the background is too yellow.

Not enough contrast or something.

Like the new look (although I'm not wild about change).

Just need to fix that one area as far as I'm concerned.

My moniter has different contrast/hue(whatever) settings. I just selected one that seems to make the screen a little darker, but seems easier to see stuff. My background area that was yellow before, is now more tan and much easier to see. In game everything seems a little sharper too. Took a few minutes of playing for my eyes to adjust but I think I like it.

could really use some better contrast, this get all washed out with some sun in the room. The other colors were much more eye friendly.

I use Firefox and everything looks pretty good now except for the black lettering on green that indicates what part of the board you're in. It needs to be that gold or yellow color so it stands out better

Wow, rather shocking change. Definitely more a WWII olive drabish theme.

Main thing is please keep the readability optimized. For example, type needs to be in sharp relief from the background to be readable. It's painful trying to decipher black type from olive green background.

Colors look nice on my monitor; they blend well. Drop down menus are a little out of alignment but overall I think they did a good job.

i may be mistaken, but that header text you are talking about is tied to the "thread title" in forum view. if they change that to gold, then it is hard to read the subjects of the threads on the light background. like i said, i may be mistaken, but that's how it originally was.

overall i love the new theme personally. it is a little different with the "quote" button under a post instead of above, but it works.
