May I just say that I adore the new color change?? I love the contrast in the mauve and the... violet? Sapphire? Well, whatever the color is, I really love it! I came in today and thought I'd entered the wrong board... Kind of embarrassing... took me a minute to figure out that the layout had just changed... But yes, all I really wanted to say was that it looked nice! ~ Elbereth Note: it's been changed again... and I love how it's various shades of purple without seeming like a completely female-directed forum!

Thank you, Elbereth!! ;D Glad you like it! I've been trying to get the colors to kind of merge off a central color - in this case, purple - without making it seem too feminine. And then I couldn't think of another bacground color... ~ Elwen

First off, I apologize for not visiting this place in like a month... I have been so incredibly busy it even surprises myself...
Secondly, I apologize for coming back and the first thing I do is off criticism. But... *clears throat self-consciously* I can't read the titles. That color of blue against the back makes me so dizzy. And sometimes even the white (or is it cream?) against the black makes me start turning cross-eyed.
And I feel bad saying all of this and complaining while I haven't been here in so long, and I know how hard you've been working on the color scheme, but... I can't read. The titles I mean. So, if you don't want to change it, that's perfectly fine and I can deal with it, but I thought I'd give my two cents.
Thank you.
Edit: Unfortunately, the blue looks really pretty on the front page of the forum index. It's a pity...

Hey Ana ~ No worries; we're all busy... Some more than most... *cough*likemyself*cough* And don't apologize; if it's bad, say so; we can't fix it if no one tells us... So as for the links... I'm still trying to change them. I know the blue is right near blinding (I'm trying to find something a little less harsh), and the gray is nonexistent. That was actually intentional - I figured that maybe they'd disappear altogether. Instead, it's confused a lot of people, since they can't figure out why it's so light, so I am going to do something about that... The links will likely become a lighter blue with a green or red, so it still stands out... I'm not sure what I can do about the black and the cream... White was way, way worse, let me tell you - I spent an hour one day redoing these colors, and white was like staring at the sun too long... So I'm attempting to maybe change the black to dark gray or some such thing... That may take a while, though... So again, don't apologize; at the very least, I'll change the link colours, since my theory really decided not to work for me... *shrugs* It's okay to point this stuff out; you aren't flaming the boards and you're doing it politely, so there's no complaints on my part. Trust me - you'd know if you'd done something worth apologizing for... ;D *rolls eyes* If you come back one day and the whole forum is some shade of blue, you know why... Purple is so blasted hard to work with without making it look like an advertisement for a beauty salon... Growl... I'll see what I can do; thanks!! ~ Elwen

*grins* Thank you... And yeah, my apologies for not fixing it right away... It may be a while in coming, as I've stated everywhere... Check the LJ updates thing for notes from me, if I can't get on here all the time... I'm hoping to get it done by mid-June, but no guarantee - if it looks weird and a totally different color, well, don't have a heart attack... ~ Elwen

*has a heart attack* Oh wait, nothing's changed... Jk, that's perfectly fine! Take your time! Did I just rhyme? I was bringing it to your attention.

Haha Ana... Don't faint yet... (Personally, I'm also waiting for the new upgrade, since I'm not sure if the colors will default or not after the change...) So yeah... Thanks again... This forum doesn't have a good thumbs-up icon-ish thingy... ~ Elwen

And a good thumbs up smiley is sometimes so needed. Hmmm.... () ()()() ()()() Well, that's the best I could come up with. If you squint and pretend the person is wearing a glove, it looks like it...

Haha there you go.... I should bring that up with management when it comes to suggestions for improvement on the upgrades!! ;D That's amusing. Thanks Ana!
