kelley Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Well I am working on getting the prep work done for the next forum. I need to know which you guys would prefer so I can know which one to start developing. Also if you would please give me some of your ideas/examples as to what you think make a good forum. Remember this is OUR place, that even includes you Monkey! Thanks alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I like this style. I think maybe a lighter gray or off-white would be nice for the text, but this forum just screams cool versus other white-colored forums that are all happy bouncy fun 'n shit.

Robot Monkey Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 What Mark said. Although I would like links to be more apparent. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskers Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I will back up whats been said about the visibility of links. I've missed some in the past simply because of the similar colors. I think you boys have the general idea down with regards to what works content wise, and what doesn't. The atmosphere here is very friendly and makes one want to stay around and contribute. I will be posting more, and hopefully others can benefit from my occasional post. The future seems pretty solid as far as I can see. Perhaps try and get a bit more info on the front page. It is just as important as the forums are. I have learned a lot here, and do appreciate what you guys have set up and accomplished.

Scott Van Dyke Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I like the white background. It's not so noticable when switching between a forum and say, my Outlook when at work. :mrgreen: I too, have trouble seeing links in posts. :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I'd like to see a screenshot example of the light background before I vote. Is that possible? Generally, I think dark text on light backgrounds is much easier on the eyes but you guys have done a great job with these colors. Maybe somewhere in the middle...a lighter gray would work well?

rustyjaw Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I really like the dark look, it's much easier on the eyes. Like a lot of people I work on a computer all day, and it's a lot easer to stare at a darker screen than a bright one. I also think it just looks sleeker and more refined. The link color is an issue, it needs to be a touch more different from the regular text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyVolpe Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 White type on dark colors is easier on the eyes when viewed on a monitor. On paper I prefer the opposite, but on monitors I prefer light type on dark backgorunds. One vote for dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Personally, I prefer dark text on light background. I hear programmers say they like the dark background, but the truth is that dark text on light background is, in fact, easier to read for the general populace. It's been proven time and time again.

Chatakinns Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Some of the log in areas are still very light text on a white background. Mine is when I come to the site and click on the log in link. But if I just log in at the forum index page, it is dark text on light background. I like that better. And I agree with what everyone said about the links. I have missed a lot of them and when I ask, it is pointed out and I have to admit a " D'oh! " as it should have been more obvious.

EnemaEms Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I like the current look but agree that links should be more obvious looking. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris F Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I prefer the dark. And that's all I have to say about that. </forrest gump> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 gotta say Dark all the way. At first i didnt like it but it has grown on me and is much easier to read . Like others said fix the link colors and the log in color shades. i like everything else capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 -Ok, so the text and backround coloring is just about a dead horse now, -So what do I have to add, mmmm, how about being able to post at the bottom of a thread page, as opposed to opening a new window to reply. I'm always looking back to see what was said as I write replies. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Joel, I think the forum poohbahs are looking into a "quick post" feature, but as to seeing what was said earlier, you know there's a scroll window with the thread right below your new post box, right? That's a long sentence. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 While I don't really want either too dark or too light, I think an alternative color would look good. For a color idea, take a look at the forums over on ClubRSX. But I'm easy to please... the color you choose isn't going to alter my enjoyment of the forum much and it sure won't keep me away. Thanks for all of your hard work guys, and for asking for the peon's opinions too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimness Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I like all the suggestions so far. BTW, how do you know if you've replied to a thread or not? I haven't been at this board much, and.... Holy Shit that was a huge ass lightning bolt that just hit near my apartment complex. Me thinks me should turn off computer now.

Fugms Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I like the dark but with better links and HD graphics, 1080i should do for now... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
