New site style

**Velox** · 24th May 2005, 22:30

Yeah - I prefer the old. Thanks heaps though SM for trying to pretty it up though! Awesome design but just a bit stark. Cheers for going to all the effort though!

i like the new look, but took a bit of getting used to, wasnt sure what was going on when i first loaded up.
But i think old one might have been a bit easier on the eyes.

I quite like it, though the Male/Female indicator icon is now completely screwed and should be the reverse colours.

I wonderd what had happened gave me quite a start, thought I had got some other site, Change can be good but not this time

Ahhhhhhhhhhh ya big bunch of luddites!
I quite like the new style, actually easier on the eyes imo.
It's good to have the option though.

All change is bad.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But just ignore me. Everyone else does...

Looks shit, I much prefer the earlier style. Add a few neon colours to this current scheme and it will be KB on acid...

80% happy with the new style.

Individual post don't show up that well agaisnt the backround, can appear to be one long post when skim reading, which I do a lot on here.

The contrast between background and foreground text seems a little bit too high, but it does make most text stand out, except those that use colour.

Overall I like it, but personaly would make a few changes. Is that possible to edit the style for indivuals?

I like it, but the white in the KIWIbiker title and this quick reply pane is a little harsh, and the panels aren't defined enough (UserCP is a good case in point). With some editing of Male/Female indicators and emoticons it will be good.

Oh dear , the world went all yeller. Interesting, but rather hard on the eyes. Think I'll leave it for the younger ones

Wondered what was happening when I first loaded up, but found I liked what I saw. I certainly like it better than the blue on white anyway. Maybe you could try another colour combo, as not all are happy with it, but don't go back to the white/blue.

Now that I've had a bit of a play, I'm finding that pages are a bit slower loading and I'm using broadband giving me somewhere between 1500kb/sec & 8000kb/sec!

Like many before me, I find it very hard to read, hard on the eyes, and individual postings are not as easy to decipher.

I don't have any option in the bottom left-hand corner other than black/gold, will try my UCP to change it back.

Thanks for giving us the option Spank, but my vote is go back to the old version.

Edit:
User CP does give me the option to go back to the old version, MUCH better IMHO..
