It's also very blue.

But it's too wide for a 1024x768 screen with scroll bar. Could you turn the width down maybe 40 pixels somewhere?

You guys are silly. I just fixed it. I was in the middle of making it so that the banners work when you called.

Well that horizontal scroll bar is a bit jarring.

I understand!

Now I need someone to tell me if the logo looks too close to the banners.

Also tell me if the front page is scrollbareriffic.

No, and no.

You know, your monitor can most likely display at 1024x768 too.

has that weird outer border always been there?

cause it's really weird.

or maybe it's the blue. the darker blue is the weirdest, i've decided.

I wouldn't mind seeing the orange one as an additional board skin.

I'm sorry, but this blue is seriously hurting my eyes. Especially when I'm writing a post like right here. It's uncomfortable for me to look at and if I stare at it any longer I'll probably get a headache.

Guys, ditch the background blue, I think. It clashes with the calming blue. Make it a more peaceful colour, or even black. And it also counts as the table header, so above me now where I'm typing it says "Post a reply" in really dark blue text on a dark grey background, which is impossible to read.

Like the top bit a lot, though!

The banners looked best centered, but overall the changes are nice.

The blue against dark grey at the top is pretty hard to read.

I'm guessing that because this style is listed as "OrangeHillZone" that you just overwrote the orange and didn't create a copy of the CSS file?

If you did, people can use something like stylish to skin the board any way they want. I'll set up something for it if you have the original CSS file.

Wes, I'm all for you just deciding whatever you want. That should come with the caveat that I have little interest in the layout of the site.

I'm more interested in: does the makeover mean that we're going to have a new issue soon?

Guys, I like change.

Change is constant, change is good, change is new.

I like new.

The worst part of this new layout is that the banner identifier no longer works :(

You know.... I think who ever said that the logo could be a little smaller was right. Perhaps the hight of the banner top to the text bottom. It seems a bit too large. This would possibly make it feel a little more centered too.

Also, just for the forums. I think the front page looks good.

I thought a minor blasphemy upon discovering what had happened.

At least, I think was minor. It was just taking a name in vain.

TGQ do not lead me down a dark path

this banner doesn't work since the new design was put into effect. the banner was uploaded at the same time that the new design went online.
