So per some of the suggestions we have made a darker contrast background style. To choose it go to your profile -> preferences -> Set dark high contrast style

As far as this style goes let us know how you like it and if any changes would be required .

Far better than the white.

This is an improvement over the old version with the dark contrast, now!

Although I originally didn't like the text color of the new version, once it was changed, I didn't have a problem with it.

And I like the white BG a LOT better than the dark BG. At least on my laptop. Gotta check the iPhone.

I personally prefer the white so you are not alone :). this new optional BG is for those that disliked 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 ;-)

I also prefer the white over the dark theme. I find it less strenuous to use the light theme over the darker colors

I 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.

Background looks good, but everything has slowed
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.

They could clean up the database by purging non participating members. There's about 4,000 of them. That can't be helping the speed.

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 =)

PMs are light grey on dark grey like quoted text here, it's really hard to read them.

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......

For me, it would be a little easier to read the text in Quote Replies if they were a little lighter/brighter. There's not quite enough contrast between the grey on darker grey. :/ This black Reply box I'm typing in is a little stark - took my eyes a minute to adjust. I like the shades of grey - just would be great to have a little more variation of the greys.

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.

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.

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.
