Color Combinations
 
Does anyone find the color combinations hard to read, or is it just my old eyes?

I think the powers that be need to lively up the color scheme. :)

What do you suggest?

light yellow text on green? Black on white?
Font size change?

I we get enough input, we could put up a poll. Monitors differ in quality and resolution so if we make change, I would really like it to be the right combo.

Thanks,

Bagger

Font size looks decent, both on the forum posts and when you're typing replies. Just set the fonts to whatever they are on Chuck's forum.

As for colors, I don't have any particular ones in mind. Just do something lighter with whites, silver, navy, who knows - just so the font color can be black. But whatever you guys prefer. :wink:

Color Combinations
 
Personally I think darker print on a lighter backgound is better, and maybe bigger font. What is the average age group who views? Maybe bigger is better! Most people start with reading glasses at approx. 40 years old. A poll sounds good. I love what I've learned so far, keep up the good work. Rick
PS I tried to send this via PM, but it stayed in my outbox???

It will stay in your outbox until I read it. And I read it.... :D
Now you should find it in your sent box...I hope.

The PM stays in your Outbox until it is read by the recipient.

I was actually going to suggest a slightly smaller font. Is there a size between the forum font now and the size that you type in when you're writing a reply? Because right now, it seems like the posts are just too 'bulky' and hard to keep your place when reading, especially with some of Lynn's longer posts.

Also, is there a way to reduce the size of the 'box' to the left of each post that contains the username, location, etc? It looks about 3/4" wider than it needs to be and reducing it would help spread the post's text out a little more. If that makes sense. :D

AHA
 
The Outbox and Sent, just another AHA from TGM.

Colors are always subjective, Rick, and we know we'll never be able to please everybody. But we would at least like to please ourselves -- given our software and budgetary constraints -- but so far, that ain't the case! So, the search continues...

I think the colors and font sizes are fine. Will the dark background present a problem when diagrams are posted?
