Obviously didn't read page 4...

My goal is to make DM *almost* die with my new avatar. :twisted:


HAHAHAHAHA. First I post, and the board goes all black; then I post, and the avatars bounce from the right to the left; then I post, and suddenly Schmaffy is not only being haunted by this bizarre gold Fisher Price phantom, but she's freaking out about polo/pygmy babies. By the time the creepy things starting disappearing and reappearing (and Lynne's referencing them as pygmy babies like it's the most normal thing in the world), I was laughing so hard, I could barely breathe. Hell, I'm still laughing about it.

Haha. Nice.


I am really liking this black/grey/white scheme and that it fits in with the main navigation bar. Bravo, Eu.
Dramatic highlights & a unique musical cosmos. Guaranteed.

I agree. I like that too. Nice work, Team Italia.

I too love the new website, especially the grey-scale, I'm on lots of fora and they are mostly blue, so its good to be different over here ;)

one question: I used to be able to peruse this forum on the quiet whilst at work by typing www.stewartcopeland.net/forum and this got rid of the header and wasnt so obvious up on my screen. This doesnt seem to work now. Is there anyway I can lose the header while I'm having a sneak peek?

Thanks team for a brilliant re-vamp!

Yes, this looks great. While I'll always love the old format, this looks modern with clean lines. Great job!

It is a marvellous redevelopment of a much loved structure. I llike the online Jelly Baby thing. Though I do think they should be a particular shade of green :-) Lime flavoured.

If there is a list of minor things to change, I'd really appreciate an option to change the background colour for the forum threads. I have dreadful vision, and black on grey is a little bit difficult to read. is it possible to have a user option to change the style to black on white? (Only if it is easy, and doesn't cause Eugenio problems!)

I love the recent changes! Avatars on the right---ah, much better. It looks "right."
I love the black and grey theme.

First I scrolled through the thread to see my previous post and the little Weeble Wobble is there to indicate I'm logged in :) That's very cute!

I can see everything just fine, but I do understand what smudge means about the contrast of the grey background with black type. If the black type was heavier it might be easier to see. The size of the default type is pretty good.

Great job, guys! :)

I love the black! It makes the smokey horse logo and the board colors stand out.

I don't mind the black so much. Love the smoke show. Would've really like to see a bit more Krypton green in there, though.

Easier to read. That means "better" in my book. Good job, gentlemen.

Diggin' how the forum appears now-not a huge window of its own (meaning, it shows up under the site headers now--nicely contained), no longer blue, avatars on the left. Really great improvements, guys!
