Chris

Glad you like it Chris..I was getting nervous waiting to hear what you thought of it, lol

Congratulations on what appears to me to be a trouble free changover. The spped of loading is marvellous and the look is superb! When you compare the problems experienced by other sites in changing ,this has gone very smoothly with no major problems....well done team!!!!!!!:thumbupboth:

Thanks:)

Gotta be honest and disagree here. The previous look was SO much more professional and clean looking.

Not sure about this one. Sorry guys :(

You are welcome to that opinion.....people tend to sometimes find change difficult. It is however something inevitable in life. The site now loads far faster, accessing certain sections is quicker and the drop down menu's clear away some of the clutter from the sidebars. The colours set the artwork off better due to a darker background...design wise.....and speaking as a professional signwriter and screenprinter of twenty five years experience. the look is modern and up to date and visually attractive and stimulating. Letting go off the past and what we have become comfortable with is sometimes difficult. Stepping out of the comfort zone and taking safe risks  makes life a little more exciting.....again, well done to the team for a slick performance.

I can appreciate the the actual design is more up-to-date, sleek and, above all, faster, but I'm not entirely sure that it is as professional looking as the previous, lighter design.

But, yes, granted, that is just the opinion of one person. I liked the white layout, it was nice and calm. This is dark and... not as calm.

I'll get used to it, I guess.

Fantastic Design, havent navigated much, just had to jump in here and say whoot, I was so busy at work yesterday I didnt get a chance to visit! Kudos!

I too preferre the white background I found it easier to read.

What happened to all forums in forums tab at top.  I was using it to go to all my preselected forums that are not hidden but now I dont have that option today. :)

Got to give you a big + 10 for new design.   I hope you don't change a thing with it. :)

Nice job guys I really like the new design and thanks for the gift.

If you just click the 'Forums' button on the Top Nav bar that will take you directly to the Forum Index which will show all the forums you have marked in your Forum options as visible:)

Thanks Stacy.  It would be lot less confusing if that was in the drop down list for forums......Is that possible as it were yesterday.

Let me check if its okay for me to put it back:)

Thanks you Stacy it would help a lot of people like me who dont see it where I think it should be.
 No problem if you can't put it back.     I got feeling there will be others asking same question about it is reason I asked. :)

Read my other thread about colors.   What is the default color now suppose to look like.  I am getting two differnt looks with two different monitors and using two different browser.  I am very confused with what the default should look like. :)

Its blues, not greens:) 

Thanks Stacey.  I got problem with my CRT Monitor. :)

I like the new colors. But then, black is my favorite color and green is my least favorite color. So anything that gets rid of green is okay with me. Never been crazy about drop down menus, but that's not anything worth quibbling about

iloco,

We put back a link under the Forums button that says "My Forums" so you click that and go to the forum index to show all forums you have marked visible:)

It is a delight to see such cooperation here. This is how things should be. Respectful,considerate interaction. Commendable!
