I changed the font colour in the New Thread/Reply to dark gray.

Is this better? Hit F5 if you don't see it to refresh your browser.

Um I think the text that Jennifer was referring to be changed is the text which you just changed to teal-green (which I love by the way, works well) ... in the gold bars in the threads and forums .... might try it on the main forum page too .... ???

The pale gray in the new reply buttons is ok ... might not want to go any darker than that.

Yes, now I see if I re-read it.

I'll try the dark grey and see, and turn the button text to white again. (I'll save copies in order to revert if need be.

Isn't it funny .. the grey looks good in the gold bar ... I think it's that value thing ... gray is cool, the gold is warm ...

When we tried yesterday with the grey text in the teal-green category bars, it looked awful ... because they are both cool tones.

I like the grey, looks good, and unifies everything .. the reply and message boxes etc.

Oh Wa'il

I love these funny little things much better than the stars you gave us before. They don't give me that "competition" feeling which for me also has to do with "not good enough".

Yes definitely like them. What do I call them though?

Take care.

Oh, is that what they are? I thought they were weight loss markers and I'd lost the equivalent of one chicken leg. Scared me silly!

Are the coloured smilies coming back?

The website looks awesome, Wa'il. I especially like the orange and teal combination for the bars.

The coloured smilies "might" come back. I think after a while, members will prefer the new ones. I can create a poll and see what everyone thinks.

I'm now thinking of a graphic representation of weight-loss/percentage as well.

Wa'il :

Sorry to be difficult but I find that whilst reading the posts on the light (white) background is very hard on the eyes and I prefer the light shades of grey you had earlier.

Just my 2 cents, Sarah

Wa'il don't you ever rest on your laurels?

Stars: I was just getting use to seeing them and then you changed to food, which is ok with me. But there is no way of relating them to the number of posts for individuals at a quick glance. Therefore the Stars were better indicators. By the way, the chicken legs look like "sausages on a stick" to me.

May I make a suggestion?

Why not move the list of members names on the bottom of the page to the top and it would save having to scroll all the way down if you want to know who is also lurking at the same time as yourself.

I find the colours are quite relaxing.

Keep up your splendid work, Wa'il.

Regards
Joe

Doesn't have to be grey though.

How's this?

Unhappy

I went away, came back and our nice warm, sunny site had turned dark and gloomy.

Like the end of summer and winter's come early.

Just my opinion though.

Hi Jo,

We have a little text at the top stating the number of users on line. The list at the bottom gives the user names of thos who chose to be "visible".

I like the idea of keeping it at the bottom, (in addition to PM's)since it encourages people to scroll down, and see what else is there beside the daily forum.

Wa'il
