    Default Software updating

    Hello,

    The forumsoftware is just undergoing an update. Most of it is done, but some parts are missing (like the STW skin: they'll be back soon).

    I believe this version requires some users to update their passwords. That will be when it equals the username. So in case my password were TosaInu, I'ld have to change it to Poodle or something.

    I was wondering why everything was light blue and easier on the eyes :P I kinda like this skin better >_>

    The skins are behaving very funny in the whole of this software series. It seems nearly impossible to stick the settings where they should be. That means one skin is updated and another changes too.

    Guild skin is mostly intact, just that links are now grey-blue instead of black (no big deal in my book). Forums seem to load a hair faster, too.

    The reply/reply with quote/multiquote (all the buttons) have a rectangle of white around them as well.

    Not sure on my position for the new colours of the links.

    I liked the black-coloured links better.

    Ditto. My aging eyes find themselves working harder with the soft blue links. I don't mind it from an aesthetic point of view, but I am finding it harder to read. My two koku.

    Yup, I agree with you.

    It looks nice, but its getting hard to read.

    I also would like the light blue to go away, it's even worse on a laptop for some reason.... the screen makes the forum nearly unreadable when you're not looking at a thread itself, but the individual sub-forums. It also hurts my eyes when I'm looking at my inbox.

    If it could switch back to black I would sooooo appreciate it.

    Edit: Also using "The Guild" skin. Love that skin.

    A darker blue perhaps? While I agree on the harder to read part, it's nice that the text links is easy to recognize now.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    A standard dark blue would work nicely, I think--maintain an "Earth and Water" theme on the Guild skin, etc..

    I was going to add the "two cents" smiley, but when I click on the [More] link, nothing happens for me. Does it work for others? Just FYI.

    Works for me,

    [More]

    Works for me. Albeit slowly.


    As a matter of fact, the entire forum is kind of trippy. Every time I load a page sometimes it just stops halfway, or gets stuck loading forever.

    No other website on the internets (for me) is behaving this way, so it seems to be an .org phenomenon.

    I am using the dark blue version, NTW skin and I find it hard to read those who are moderators since you are using Green on a blue, which is a massive clash of colours, so that will need to change so it is clear on every skin that we have. Even that red of the admin is a bit hard to read on this skin.

    I use this skin since it is easiest on my eyes, that others just don't cut it for me, so that would be greatly appreciated.
