New look

[Ray Hines]

I'm also a san-serif fan on forums. Serif fonts are nice but not here.

I actually like the change, somewhat. The rounded avatars adds some "style" to the forum. There is a lot of brightness, whites and light grays going on and I have to turn my screen brightness waaaay down. But it seems okay. I do like the color at the very top of the page.

Shnikes, that was sudden!

Someone mentioned they didn't like the new font but I for one love love LOVE it. Hate sans serif fonts.

As for the rest of it? Not really sure yet...It IS quite bright. But I also like blue.

Well... I guess we're not going to be friends any more!

I also think they are going for a clean slate look, that flows endlessly. At times it works, but I think the posts and threads need a little bit more separation, whether its a darker line or darker background, I don't. Leave it up to the designers.

While we are working the bugs out of the new style, you can always switch back to the old "red" style by clicking on Style Chooser at the bottom of the page.

Okay, so now I'm at home where I've discovered that it's not QUITE as bad on my home monitor, which is much smaller. My work monitor is a large iMac, and there is just SO. MUCH. blank white space on it with this new look.

I can see the sigs a little better on this one too; not sure why, unless that's been changed since when I was looking at it from work.

However, on THIS monitor, because it's smaller (not tiny, just smaller than the work one. Home monitor is 19"), when I log on, THIS happens:

What resolution is that?

1024x768, which was working absolutely great up until today, and still working for every other site I go to.
I could increase the resolution, but then the text gets so small, that with my bad eyesight, I might as well just log off permanently, because I'd never be able to read anything.

Not liking it. Harder to read and requires more scrolling and page turning to determine what I want to read. I have rarely if ever seen a forum upgrade on any site that was an improvement over what existed years ago.

We are still working the bugs out of the new skin, however you can certainly use the old one in the mean time: Style Chooser | Photography Forum

it is actually kind of funny in a amusing way. Reading through of people turning their monitors down and dimming them...well so much for the monitor calibration....hope they dont edit at that setting.
