mrb-solutions Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Haven't seen any similar threads so thought i would comment. I like the default site after the new update i think it looks really great. Anyone not like it?
LiamH Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I like it It does have some scaling issues though, i normally have it open in a smaller window and a few things overlap, no biggie though
aerospacemango Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I know I'll get used to it, but I have to say that I'm not a fan of the new look. I'm not going to compare to anything else... I just find that it's too bright.
jamesfed Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I'm going with its nice clean and refreshing - make sure you have IE compablity mode turned OFF though as is mucks up a whole load of things.
FN-GM Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 The only fault i would say is the EDU in the logo is a little dark.
Rawns Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I'm really liking the colour scheme. Looking forward to seeing what other additions are coming.
glennda Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Only thing I don't like is that it changes colour between the homepage and the forums but apart from that looks nice!
Dos_Box Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I know I'll get used to it, but I have to say that I'm not a fan of the new look. I'm not going to compare to anything else... I just find that it's too bright. Don't panic, there will be new themes coming along in a bit.
rich_tech Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Initially I found it a bit hard to read here too, the text changed slightly it seems a bit brighter than the previous versions I found for me, doesnt look bad overall though
X-13 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Only thing I don't like is that it changes colour between the homepage and the forums but apart from that looks nice! Color change isn't necessarily bad. It's the fact they're 2 different temperatures... [ATTACH=CONFIG]14519[/ATTACH]
aerospacemango Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 OMG OMG OMG! Went to the homepage... I think my retinas have been burnt! Who do I sue? All I can see is orange.... Nurse, nurse!!! (Ok...so it's not THAT bad!!)
glennda Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Color change isn't necessarily bad. It's the fact they're 2 different temperatures... [ATTACH=CONFIG]14519[/ATTACH] Yup its just that its completely different thats the problem!
localzuk Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I'm a big fan of blue and orange sites, so its a big thumbs up from me. (A web based admin tool I'm writing at the moment at home is orange based...)
AMLinington Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I can't say I'm a massive fan. I echo Aerospacemango - it's too bright. It's really hard to tell the difference between read and unread threads. I like the colours and I like how different parts of the site are in a different set of colours but find the tab font hard to focus on - the letters are too 'slim' (it's probably kerning or some such technical term but I don't know much about fonts) and the forum page itself being white is an assault on the eyes. I preferred the more muted shades as they were easier on the eye. Reading posts makes me squint a bit Overall, yes to the 'main' colour scheme but can you do something about the white pages - they be eye hurty 1
mrb-solutions Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 Haha seems i sparked a interesting thread. I honestly don't mind it i would rather the colours looked light and fresh than darker as it seems i tend to spend quite a while on here sometimes lol
north-ict Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I like the layout seems like a modern finish to it, like @Dos_Box said there are more themes to come so i am looking forward to that. I am just thinking maybe its time to update my avatar and signature....*ponders*
mrb-solutions Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 I'm going with its nice clean and refreshing - make sure you have IE compablity mode turned OFF though as is mucks up a whole load of things. Think the problem is that you are using IE.
witch Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Light and fresh is good - but not blaze orange - I feel like an American criminal....
aerospacemango Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Light and fresh is good - but not blaze orange - I feel like an American criminal.... I can get you one for the right price....!!
rad Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 "New Posts" option isnt working. It is displaying 13 pages when i only logged on last night, its normally 6 or so
korifugi Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I've also found there's a small 'Jump to your last post' arrow in a thread you've posted in.... funky.
CAM Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I think the orange theme is temporary as a sponsorship deal with Office 365. It should go back to normal once that is over, I like it though. Then again I do own a pair of bright orange hi-vis overalls.
