Fresh new look! And slight upgrades.

[Peter]

Now i wasn't tired of the old look, and i admit i have been on a bit of a spree of modifying all my forums since being able to use my computer again and paintshop, but here's the thing.

Whilst i was happy the way it was, i always thought i could do better. I've been making, designing and running forums for 3 years, i thought i could improve upon what we had here, i guess I'm just a perfectionist! Plus i love the white background as it has flecks of orange, yellow, blue and green if you look carefully! So i hope those flecks break up the white (Actually there not pure whites, they're various shades from paintshop - off whites).

As well as this we have a new info center at the bottom where toy can see how many forums have been added today and see how if you have and new messages.

The shoutbox i have swapped back to the old one due to not being able to get into one of my hotmail accounts (can't remember order of password) and get the password to get in and change the colours of the saybox to match the new colour scheme. But, to launch the Shout-box simply click on the link under the info center at the bottom of the main page, and it will pop up if you so wish to use it.

If there are any new problems with the new colour scheme (blindness, can't read), please use the support forum to let me know. Thank-you.

Peter.

I like the new look !

It'll take me a while to get used to it but I like the white and threads of colour in it. I'm glad you didn't choose a really bright colour. I hate those forums that are either really bright like yellow or really dark. They are so hard to read!

I think I'll have to look at the new upgrades now.

Good job Peter!

[Peter]

Thanks, all the white's i've chosen are off-whites and so are slightly dullard as not to blind everyone, so i hope they don't - blind that is.

[Dammit]

Seems fine to me.

Nice and easy on the eye Peter, some of the background colours on boards I have been on are very bright. They make your eyes go a bit weird after a while

Love the new look!!!

[wendy]

Love the new look Peter.

[Peter]

Thank-you all.

[plaidcat]

;D I agree, and I like that "basketweave" design in the background. ;D

[Dammit]

You've done some more tweaking, haven't you?
I really like the new section at the bottom (dramas etc.). I think its more easier to navigate now each each part is sectioned off.

[Peter]

I hope so, i got a bit inspired, and i'm not really sure weather it works or not. In saw the forum in a new light, that there was a lot to scroll down and look at, maybe even looking a bit crammed. I realised this and have taken a very big plunge.

But if it doesn't work out it's easy to chance back, I was considering making sub-boards for UK Dramas and series, Where The Hearty Is, Shameless, The Royale/Heartbeat and a general forum, but i haven't decided yet.

If i did it for US i'd consider Lost, Desperate Housewives, ER, whatever you lot would use most. But like i say, i'm unsure wether to do this.

[deborah]

I like the changes you made yesterday-it is much easier to find things on the main page. It makes sense to have all of the Corrie sections together etc. Also like the US section.

I also love that you have added a chatroom for Friday night chats. At one time I used to really enjoy them and have really missed them. Hopefully we will be able to work out times that we can all get on.

[sootycat]

I like this a lot, its a lot easier to negotiate your way around.

[Peter]

Thanks. that's the main thing for me.

I glad people like the drama section, i want there to be places here. other places and stuff you feel you can talk about when you're not ta;lking about soaps.

I know we have the general forum, but we are slowly getting up to 40 members now almost, so if any of you have any ideas, even prehaps for specialist things in the general forum (sub-forums) feel free to say. I'll grant anyhting on condition a ma jority agree, and it will get used.
