TotallyOz Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 We have changed the top banner of the site to a lighter color scheme as many here on the forums suggested. We will be changing the colors of the forum in the near future as well. We hope you like the new colors. Quote
Guest lvdkeyes Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 It's an improvement, but I think the burgundy color needs to go. Quote
Rogie Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 I agree. The burgundy, or claret if you prefer, has to either go or else find some way to improve the contrast. For example to the right of the 'Search' option you can just make out some writing, but I can't read it. The 'Rate Topic' and the stars next to it could be a lot more visible too. Quote
TotallyOz Posted October 2, 2010 Author Posted October 2, 2010 There is no burgundy color in the top banner. The forum colors will match that soon. Is that the burgundy you are referring to? Quote
Rogie Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Yes Not the top banner, the forum bit Includes the font colour too now I look closely. One or two guys have previously commented they'd rather have a different font colour (I know the person making the post can change it but 99% of posts are in the default colour). Quote
Guest Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Well done for freshening it up a bit. Even the most recognisable logos, brands & publications get freshened up now & again. The original was just fine when set up, but things evolve. For the next evolution, how about some cute Asian faces at the top? Quote
Guest gwm4sian Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 what has ahppened to the "remember me" option? Doesn't seem to be there any more. Quote
Guest Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 what has ahppened to the "remember me" option? Doesn't seem to be there any more. Yes. Logging in seems to misbehave now. I click on login like normal & find it appears to log me in, but there are no posting rights until I log out & back in again. This won't put me off, but some new punters might be losing patience.

TotallyOz Posted October 5, 2010 Author Posted October 5, 2010 I will work on the Remember Me option and the log in issues. I don't understand the Log In issues as I have no problem when I access the site. Can you be more specific so I can test this? Quote
Guest lvdkeyes Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 When I log in and click "View new Content" I don't always get new content. Just now I logged in and clicked it and got message that there were no new postings, however I could see that Scooby posted at 0810. Quote
TMax Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Since the change of the banner etc I couldn't find a log in section anywhere (even on the main portal home page) until I tried clicking on that Compatability View rubbish on IE again. May pay to keep that in mind that when things change those that use IE might also have to continue clicking on Compatability View. Quote
Guest beachlover Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Looks much better. Nicer, brighter. Is there any way to widen the interface? Suggest (1) get rid of the spinning "Click here for message board" thing in the header and (2) change the 5 mini banners [logos] into one big rotating banner. Otherwise, it looks so messy and off-putting up there! Quote
TotallyOz Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Thank you. There is no way to widen the interface without redoing the entire site. That is something we are working on but it is not going to be a short term project. Looks much better. Nicer, brighter. Is there any way to widen the interface? Thank you for the suggestion. We will take this into consideration. Suggest (1) get rid of the spinning "Click here for message board" thing in the header and (2) change the 5 mini banners [logos] into one big rotating banner. Otherwise, it looks so messy and off-putting up there! Quote
