Thanks.
And I like the white BG a LOT better than the dark BG. At least on my laptop. Gotta check the iPhone.
Yeah, I know. There's one in every crowd...

I personally prefer the white so you are not alone :). this new optional BG is for those that disliked the white.
Quote: Mikey75I definatly like the dark better than the white.
Holy crap!
We, you and me, have created a monster.
Now I got blue text on almost black background.
I do believe I will puke on my tablet if I leave it that way.
But now I'm typing almost black text on an almost white background... .?
I am tempted to put together a long string of obscenities, only tempted momentarily.
I took a breath, I told another member not too long ago to just take a breath, a big one, and then another.
(Edited)
The whole color thing still sucks, I cannot breathe it away, I tried, I tried hard ;-)

Racist! J/K :-)

I also prefer the white over the dark theme. I find it less strenuous to use the light theme over the darker colors
down again. Takes 7-8 seconds to load anything.
It was real fast the first few days. This always happens
here, every time they update the server it's fast at
first, and then slows back down in a few days.

Tried the dark background with light text again, just for fun.
Still not fond of it but was not tempted to puke on the screen this time.
But this reply? Well it goes back to the small almost black text on a large almost white background. If I were sitting in a dark room, reading the light text on a dark background, and then hit reply or quote and this screen jumped out at me? I'd probably fall off my barstool, once again......
I think I will change back to the latest former, and leave the latest latter to those that like it.
Nice try though! 2F
Ps: Still think the Avatars should be bigger, can't tell much about Dodsferd's latest.
If you/they/we/it even like the 'Avatar concept' that is...
I have looked at some under magnification and still can't figure out what I'm looking at.
I did not specifically mention BABB's, or sevaral others in particular, no I did not. ;-)

Mine is of the Cessna 150 I earned my pilot's license in, with two folding chairs under the wing. Another pilot on here recognized it immediately; no one else has said anything either way. It's distorted the same way all my other attempts have been, making something round into a tall oval by compressing the sides.
The dark background worked ok for me, but not all of the site adapts to the setting; for example, PM's are still in thin black font; against a dark background, they're unreadable. Also the blue and green names work ok on it, but the red "dithers" (I don't know the right word for it, the pixels zig-zag sort of) and is very hard to read. All FWIW; I'm back to the lighter background as well.

I definitely noticed, I just didn't say anything. I pass the local strip every day on my route, they're one of my stops. I think about you and our convo every single time =)
Someday...
Quote: MaxPenI think it is appropriate that the new logo next to the title in the browser tab looks like a shark fin protruding from the water, when all small like that, considering that this website has seemed to have jumped the shark.
The big W looks much better.
Quote: ZugaPM text colour on the dark contrast is now fixed.
Yep, that seems to be fixed.
To quote or reply to a post still brings up the almost glaring white screen....
Fell off my barstool again, I'll be back later, chips are on the floor, need a new drink, etc...;-)

R we still talking black BG here?
Quote: ZugaR we still talking black BG here?
I think the answer is 'yes'.
If you/he/me picks the alternative 'light text against a dark background' and then hit's "post", or "quote", then you get a white (OK light grey) screen to type in, with black text. I hope that makes sense, my experience, accessing the site thru a tablet, on home networked WiFi.
You're doing great BTW.
If it were my site, I'd have told everyone that complained to kiss my a$$ a long time ago.
Carry on.....I'll follow......

This is fixed now.
Quote: darthxaosCan we get rid of the huge margins on the sides of the page? The actual forum field is incredibly cramped on non widescreen monitors.
unfortunately we have no plans on changing this at present time.
Thank you for making this an option. When I do read on my tablet, it's at night with the lights off, so this helps a ton with the too-bright contrast of the original white backgrounds in a dark room.

I noticed this too. Very hard to read. Have to use the select-highlight trick (not readily available on mobile).
On my PC I set WOV to 175% magnification. I see no adds on the right and no white on the left. I only see what's important. I also have reasonable sized text. It's actthe perfect combination. I have yet to try it on a mobile device or different PC.Quote: darthxaosCan we get rid of the huge margins on the sides of the page?

I just got a 2 in 1 tablet/ laptop 11.7" quad core windows device. Hopefully it will act the same, I have yet to use it, wish me luck.

Axel actually posted "wish me luck".
I swear, I saw it.
The market tumbled, again.
Should I be scared?

Yep. But I hope I never get blind enough to need this size. I think I might rather see the ads...lol
