Word! Obviously you noticed the new look of the forums...
I've rolled out the offical "Table Top Gamers" forum colors, which will match the coloring of the Site, once I get that taken care of.
Anyway, I know some of the stuff looks like little rough, like the button controls for posting. If you come across anything that looks so terrible you just cannot stand it, post here.
The TTG Staff will be away this weekend partying like rock-stars, but post here anyway, and I will do what I can to make it better.
Thanks for your continued support!

I'd say it is a little 'harsh'. Like the new banner. But some more color owuld be good - black, grey and red is just a bit rough on the eyes.

ok guys, I am working on it as quickly as possible. Keep refreshing the forums using the "refresh" button on your favorite internet browser. It will be looking better in a little bit!

Well the Grey/Red/Black is not going anywhere, as that is TTG's colors... I just have to get it to be something that people want to visit, and since I want people to visit, I also want to Rock Their Face!

Dude, I would love to come here often and make this a frequented place, but the black on two tones of grey does not make for easy readability, nor the slim font size. It doesn't exactly hurt my eyes or anything, but it's not a 'pleasant viewing experience'. More constrast would be appreciated, and bigger fonts. I know I can adjust the font size on my end, but I don't want to fiddle with all web pages, just this one

Bigger fonts are easy enough, but more contrast? What colors are easy to read against?
Hook me up with some recommendations, and I will see what I can do!

kainthedragoonx wrote:Bigger fonts are easy enough, but more contrast? What colors are easy to read against? Well see the problem for me (and I think others) is that because the forum uses two tones of grey for alternating lines (light grey and dark grey), you end up having to read Black on Dark Grey every other line. That's eye strain there. It's not that greys are awful or anything it's just that these colours are too close. White on Light Grey would be the same problem. Our eyes discern objects by two things - colours and motion. When you've got these colours close together it makes it difficult to read. All you need to do is seperate the colours a little further from each other. Black on any consistently light colours, or white on any consistently dark colours. Take something like The Lost Glade: http://z14.invisionfree.com/The_Lost_Glade/index.php?act=idx just as a demonstration of contrast. Not saying you should copy it. Just an example. You can do white and have it be easy to read because it's on a darker colour base. So if you really like your greys, maybe black on white and light grey, or white on black and dark grey?

Hahaha...I figure if I can get the theme to your liking, most other people will not complain :P I mean, you're the biggest pain in the ass I know  Just kidding...but I am glad you like it like this more! I still need to fix the headers/footers...but I think this is going to work out well!

The alternate greys for the posts are nice to help keep track.
The scheme is starting to grow on me - like a mold.
