|
|
The colours on this site have been very subtly tweaked this morning, in response to someone who is in definite urgent need of an optician's appointment.
Seriously though, if you find this place difficult to navigate or look at for any period of time, please let us know and we'll do what we can to sort it. Black/red/white are our club colours so we won't be suddenly going for yellow text on a blue background or anything, but we'll adjust stuff to please the majority if we can. Reply to this post, or just PM us.
The forum software makes it tricky to make a minor change without causing an unexpected side-effect, so sorry if it starts looking strange temporarily while we try stuff out. |

The contrast does look a little better... _________________ Light is right. |

I'm guessing that you're all seeing this place as basically red and white text on a black and grey background ? That's "DSstyle" which you can select in your own profile settings.
The default "subSilver" style is also present and selectable, but doesn't seem to have any effect at all when I try it. Don't know why.
If anyone can switch themes successfully please let me know. This is admittedly an old version of the phpBB2 software but I don't want to screw things up by 'upgrading'. |

In response to a comment made at the show yesterday, the lighter grey has been darkened a bit further today to make the red text slightly easier to read.
In theory, we have absolute size/colour control over every single individual element on this forum. The way the pages are built though makes it difficult to change one thing without having an unintended effect on something else, hence our reluctance to fiddle with it.
We will listen to any comments and try and meet your needs though. |

Speaking of unintensed consequences....
I think the colour changes have made the drag bars rather hard to see. I was looking at the Stafford pictures put up by Dan, the RGV, and you really have to look hard to see that there is a left-right drag bar there to see the rest of the picture.
It seems you can't please all the people... _________________ Light is right. |

I've fixed it. "DSstyle" (black/red/grey/white) is still the default, but for those of you who have trouble reading some of the stuff on here, go into your Profile and select "subSilver" as the Board Style. You'll then see everything in the off-the-shelf forum colours of white/black/blue. Some of the buttons/icons will look a bit odd as they've been created for DSstyle, but it should all work OK.
All comments gratefully received, as usual. |
