MrMeanGreen Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 This was tried before, without much success. However, I wanted to make the board look compatible with the new logo in the corner. However, I have a few suggestions I want all of you to vote on. 1) Keep the old look, with the new logo 2) Keep the old look, with the old logo on the board only. The new logo will still reside in much bigger format on the main homepage 3) Go with the new look (which this forum is in now) to complement the new logo This poll will stay up for a bit, no hurry. Also, fee free to post your suggestions smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevil Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 I voted old look, new logo. The new logo looked OK with the old board scheme, it even has orange in it for the links, white for the background, and the dragstrip sort of matched the purple boxes. This scheme matches it a little better, but too dark. I'd keep the orange links instead of baby blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 i actually dig the new look, and i really feel that we need to do something to make the new logo match the board. i vote keep it like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elinar Longsight Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 I like the new look as well. I was getting tired of the orange, not really my fav color. tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20G TSi Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 dark colors will get me in trouble at work... heh. The gray/white is much easier to disguise. just a thought from someone that doesnt matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conesmasher Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 I dig the new look, I just have to get used to the feeling as if I am entering death, it's just so dark and gloomy, but otherwise I agree, this board needs a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides every damn message board on the internet now has this kind of craptastic overabundance of color schema. Theres also the web design consideration. This is a case where it would be best to let the user choose what they want instead of mandating a color. I don't know if UBB will allow the browser to do so.

I don't know if UBB will allow the browser to do so. Unfortunately, this version doesn't support user optional formats for the board look. The new version does, but other than that, it doesn't really offer anything more than this version. Plus, the amount of hacks on here now blow away the features of v6.5 smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RJ1074 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 I like the idea of change, but I just think that this color scheme is too dark. IMO the colors are less inviting and will cause people not to stay and look around as long. Maybe change it to a red and light blue or something. Right now it feels very Gothic.

AngryBMW Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Not really digging it, looks to much like COFBA. Im not saying that's a bad thing, but I liked having the two boards having different colors. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tom kirk Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 it is difficult to look at a dark colored board for to long, in my opinion. i think that is why most websites use lighter colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnstoermer1647545488 Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 No no! Not a dark color scheme... ouch ouch! Please no! graemlins/gay.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
