site change

[angsniper]

Did the skins just change or do I need to go get my eyes checked? :lol:
We went from black to brown.

[Jamesb74]

No it changed. Must be an upgrade

[paulosantos]

I like the new look.

[jasonpeterson]

Any other upgrades you have noticed? I like the way it fits my screen better. I like the dark colors alot better.
I can't stand forums with white backgrounds.

[coldair]

larger fonts for older eyes would be sweet

[jbone]

I like the new look. Im happy so long as the text can be easily read.

[marinesg1012]

I wish the font was a different color preset, the brown on brown is a little hard to read.

Actually we NEED a different color after a little bit my eyes are killing me,

also is there a way we can make it so links open a new page like most forums and not open in this page?

these are both just suggestions of course :D

[MiltonTiger]

Sorry I can't read the brown on black text guys. Email me if it ever changes.

:(

Holding down ctrl key and scrolling wheel on mouse will change the font size.

I think we could go a little brighter on the text Color.

[marinesg1012]

this would be nice

or this maybe

black on yellow is suppose to stick out in your mind better and make it easier to remember.

[jasonpeterson]

Those are all better!!!

My only gripe since the change is that I cant check the forums on my Smartphone because the current GUI takes too much memory or something. Automatically shuts down my browser, which means I may have to start working at work..... oh god, I forgot how!

The same thing happens to me, which really sucks because when I'm at work, I check this forum from my Motorola Q. I'm getting the Blackberry Storm in a couple of days, so hopefully that will not happen.

I agree that the Font Color should be white, or yellow.

[Empty Brass]

I like it.

I agree though the tan on brown is harder to read. I'm old.

ddddddddddddd

I like this color. Its not bright and severly contrasting but I can read it with my old feeble eyes.

Working on text color change... stand by...

[paulosantos]

Working on text color change... stand by...

:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

We whine enough and you deliver :D

I called me web lady, she is going to see about changing the text to white. She is going to get to it in the next 48 hours.

[marinesg1012]

Excellent thanks

[dlance13]

Since this is a phpBB based forum is there any way to have a few different selections for skins? At least the default phpBB Subsilver? Even with the font color changed my eyes cannot take this brown color.

[Cold]

I think there is a way to change skins, I need to reset it in the admin cp, one sec.

Yeah, im stuck with the Moto Q for a while, too bad there isnt a text only version of the site for mobile browsers

It has been a while since I admined a phpbb but I think it is an option that has to be turned on for users. I know from the user side it should show up in the User CP under "Board Preferences->Edit Global Settings" in between "My language" and "My timezone".

[Bushman_269]

It would be great for those of us with old tired eyes to be able to change the backround and/or text color.

larger fonts for older eyes would be sweet


And how about brighter too!!!!!!!! Sort of like looking at Camouflage

[marinesg1012]

Cold, any word from your web lady about the font change?

[Cold]

Nothing yet, but soon, she has some banner mods to add and fix the text so will see what takes place this week, sorry but these things take time :/

Trust me, IF I could do it myself, I would.

[marinesg1012]

No worries, just wondering. on the plus side I figured out how to add color to the text :D

[owenslee]

Just wanted to comment that although the transition was long...the current font color combinations are a definite improvement over the old format.

The light grren works well for quotes and background text.

The current brite white is very readable on posted text.

The old dark blue is gone...which is a relief as it was hard to read on a dark background.

All in all, the current setup is sweet...

[Cold]

I think she fixed the white font for us

[marinesg1012]

You can definitely read the font now :D

Darn, stikll cant view the forums on my Motorola Q, its so gonna make me bored at night when im working. Its weird, I can view The most recent topics, but as soon as I click on any thread, its closes on me.

Cant upgrade my phone until October... So I think it would be smarter to invest in a laptop to put in the patrol car for surfing the web.... gotta love hotspots... plus I hate handwriting all those darn reports!

[marinesg1012]

Is there a reason why I cant edit my posts? and is that just me or is everyone having the same issue? or am I just not seeing the button?

[BowDude]

I just checked mine and all seems well. Button should be down on the right side of window. Are you signed in?

[hdglock]

Nevermind. I goofed up

[marinesg1012]

sometimes I see it and sometimes I cant.

Now I am seeing it.
