Blue text in green forum view

QuikSand · 01-30-2003, 09:39 AM

As of last night, I'm seeing most of the text (thread titles, etc) in the forum in a bright blue color, rather than the more familiar (and more welcome) white. Was this a deliberate change? Any shot of going back?

Marmel · 01-30-2003, 09:41 AM

Please go back. Please.

Qwikshot · 01-30-2003, 09:46 AM

Aarrgh hurts my eyes, hurts my eyes!!! I'll trade the nice color back instead of the yellow online thing...

Ithink the blue is the color of links. For in-thread links it's nice, but for the topic list it is a little rough (though I like it better than the gray links).

The default vB style looks just fine.

Font color = #8098B0

A little less harsh on the eyes against both the grey and green (IMHO)

Man, one has to love the The Sideline Green layout...

Brings back memories of days I was a real rookie, not a Defensive Coordinator.

I changed it, because some were saying that the offwhite looked too white, and they couldn't distinguish links from text.

What color would you prefer to see? I tried to make it not too dark.

RPI-Fan · 01-30-2003, 05:10 PM

I like this better than the offwhite, but the best alternative,IMO, would be underlined hyperlinks. Is that possible, or no?

After reading this thread, I realized how you guys (especially Quik) have such high post counts.

It's like watching Seinfeld, only not as funny.

Ryan S · 02-01-2003, 04:27 PM

Can someone look at this and confirm the dark blue test is gone?

korme · 02-01-2003, 04:41 PM

Yes, but again it is hardto distinguish text from links. It needs to be a tad darker.

Ryan S · 02-01-2003, 04:52 PM

The color is currently identical to the old sideline board.

I am having no problem differentiating between text and links.

I think that the board becomes difficult to read if you have a darker color against such a dark background.

QuikSand · 02-01-2003, 09:44 PM

Thanks for the effort, gang... I'm much happier with the current (restored?) settings. Links are pretty clear to me, too.

RPI-Fan · 02-01-2003, 10:08 PM

Agreed, this is definitely fine with me.

I appreciate the effort.
