Nah... you get used after a while... I hope. Lets give this the benefit of the doubt.

I think its far far better than this shocking blast from speakers on the old page. *That* made you click faster than your own shadow.

Just this strange blueish color when typing new posts seem a bit...off.

I like the dark green. And the menue.

Navigation might be very complicated for new guys though. Too many options you dont know knothing about. Maybe a little more info in the "Home" section?

We will be tweaking things over the next couple of days.

It is funny how the colors appears on different monitors.  On mine, and NATE's, these colors are pretty subdued with good contrast.

But, we will be making adjustments.

you just need to put up a monitor calibration graphic on your help page. kinda like those "reccomended" settings. I'm sure a lot of folks monitors are out of whack. :D

Good to hear. I think most people have a problem with the gold text not being dark enough. If you could make that darker, I think it would be fine for most.

Anyone else having problems with firefox on the new pages? I can't get the dropdown folders to work at all. Also old saved direct links to the ubbforum ceased to work, I'm getting directed to the frontpage instead.

Otherwise the new look is a step in the right direction even though I really don't like the choice of colors in the UBB background. I understand it's in accordance to the chosen color scheme of the rest of the site but I really preferred the grey background for text.

Yellowish shades in large quantities give it a dirty and nervous overall look. If the aim was to get a military style look, fine. Just leave the posts background as it was, please.

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.

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.
