NEW FORUM LOOK, maybe........

[G L Admin]

Don't panic..........were just having a look at a couple of new styles for the forum.
It may take a little while to get everything up as we want so it may be flicking backwards & forwards between the two for a few hours/days/months/years

Oh wow, lovely and colourful! Then I logged in and got the slightly more boring look! Love the 'Balloon Chat' made out of the brightly coloured balloons.

Ooooohhhhhhh...... Pwetty...

I like it - it may be my settings but it isn't using the full width of the screen?

[G L Admin]

all the colours can be changed within the pages of the template, so blue & cream could be pink/white, orange/yellow etc
Not too keen myself at the moment but working my way around.

If anyone wants to have a look at templates to see if they can find a nice one here is where I've been looking;

Ian, That's the idea only to use the centre block of the screen as we are having a new front page built for news items & it seems important to the person building it that the forum is not full width. Not 100% sure myself but he has built my magic & balloon websites which I like very much so who am I to argue about things.

sorry can't see any difference - how do I?

Danny - top right of page  - click 'user control panel' then 'board preferences' and select 'parrot' from the styles.

You may just need to refresh your web page, 2 green arrows next to where you type in web address

Ok Thanks - I'm there now!  :oops:

Yes why not. The logo is fantabulous.

Perhaps if the text on the left could be up a font size - or maybe I need the opticians!

great Graham!

cheers

I like it

I like the new design except of using the center block, I think it's too narrow, especially for photos.

I love the title with balloons, it's great

[Henry the Hat]

Sorry to be negative but I hate this style. The text is too small and feint and most of my screen is wasted.

Full marks for trying something different. But for me - I'm keen to see the next one. :-)

There is a font size button at the top of the page, It has 3 different size settings.

[Danny the Idiot]

Hi Graham,
the font size improves it.

It definately feels squished so I would suggest the right hand side blank, and elongate the page to the left.

still not sure of this design!
