too damn bright
do not like the new style. at least let the user pick the preferred style.
|
Guess I can't read this site in bed anymore i don't mind the style but I wish there was a banner. Now it just looks the same as any other site |
+1 for an option to change the style and colors. Dark blue scheme was the only reason I come here.
|
+1 to this too.. not maxima.org without the black/blue color scheme
|
not that my opinion counts since im hardly on here anymore but the old format was way better, it was far easier on the eyes. this white template looks like alot of "basic" 1-2 year old small forums whereas this place has been around almost 20 years
|
it was suggested by IB and google that we move away from the darker theme.
i can check to see if we can bring back the dark theme but this is in line with IB's other forums. As to the banner...there were complaints about the old banner waiting for the update. the updated banner that we got didn't work within the new sizing. not sure if that person that created the banner is still around sooooo anyone wants to make another banner and actually have it on the site let me know.

Other forums give the user a choice of forum style in the user cp.. don't know why that couldn't be the case here. Or is that the way it was before?

Dan This light theme is hardly a brand, it's not the same as having some shared logo or symbol everywhere. It's quite generic, as this forum software is the same used on countless other sites. I hope someone comes forth with a banner. If I had a lick of graphical talent I'd take a shot at it myself, alas I do not. Besides I'd probably be biased to the 8th gen :D |
I’m just happy everything’s not in bold anymore. |
hurts my eyes. just give users a choice. I have been coming here since it started ..joined a bit later. I doubt you had complaints from members here about the color.

let's see how this goes...if it's that bad then i'll ask IB to give users an option. just checking to see what's off....there's a ton of grey, what is it that's too bright...the text boxes? |

most forum/posting sites like 4chan, Reddit, etc have the "bright" theme standard and "dark" as a user option like the dark theme that used to be here and people almost always swap to the dark theme |

I do miss the dark theme but it isn’t that bad at night. I do have my brightness turned all the way down and night time mode enabled as well. Would be nice to at least have the dark dark theme as an option. |
Agreed on the theme.
Way back when I was studying Database Design, my professor wanted us to modify our own version of "phpBB" which looks alot like this forum and other forums. I couldn't think of a good reason why color theme could be hard to modify, but then again, it's be 10 years since I looked at that code. |
Can these forum “tips” stop popping up every login? |

Maybe restrict it for new members only? Most know how to navigate forums to be honest. |
