are there two threads about this??

anyway a couple of times when I first logged on I got the following message when I clicked on my account the first thing.

Quote:
Invalid Page Specified

If i click on another forum and then go back I can get my account page to load.


Thanks for the font change.


I think with a couple of tweaks this is going to be far superior.... IMO

I don't notice the font, but the white is hard on the eyes. I lowered the brightness on the monitor to handle it!

Other than that, a job well done, Mike! Much nicer and more modern design.

I've merged both threads together. It's best to have all comments in one thread.

any chance you can increase the font size in the info below the thread info when you go to a thread? i tried to copy and paste to explain but having no luck. but when you go into a forum and look at the threads there is info in a small font in grey which tells you who last posted and the time they did.

I hate the new design, I really really hate it. Is there a way to get the other design back?

I thought the links had broken.

That's why I set word to "blue background, white text" in the options!

I can take anything, but the white background is just awful!. I feel, like being interrogated at FBI office.
Maybe, it'd be possible to use couple of skins, so people have some choices.

The fact that I mostly surf the net at night, the lights are off.... makes the white background even brighter.

A nice gray color would be better.

Love the new design except for the background color white. May want to change it to a more grayish color or something like that. It is a little more modern than the older one we had. Excellent job !

Have to agree the White/Lt Grey is a bit much, especially on a wide screen LCD -- lot's of white to the right after you get below the side bar. And the Verdana seems a bit easier to read at smaller sizes, but a quick CTRL+Scrollwheel fixes that.

I also miss the alternate shading on threads when looking at a forum. Makes it much easier to read than having all the same color.
