Theme Change 11/9/2012

Good layout on the theme.  Love the logo!

However, I suffer from photophobia, and the bright white yellow blend hurts my eyes.  You need some contrast reduction.

You all have me to thank for the blue background.  I presented that to Seth as an alternative to the sparkly solid gold background.  I just didn't want to come right out and say it until this look became permanent.

The cool-color background really helps the warm-color main content stand out.  It really helps make the theme, and you have my complete gratitude.

Much credit also to Cory Anotado, who in one weeks time has now done a new logo for both the Game Show Forum and now here. Very appreciative of his time and talent.

While the old one looked good, I like this one much better.  Very snazzy.  As the site sits right now, I really like what I see.  I was too quick to judge when Seth first started as I hadn't realized it was a work in progress.   You all have me to thank for the blue background.  I presented that to Seth as an alternative to the sparkly solid gold background.  I just didn't want to come right out and say it until this look became permanent.

I'm loving it! While I miss the old background, this is another design win for G-R.net, and another reason for me to check in every day

You're quite welcome, Seth.  While I don't care for Mr. Anotado for reasons I shan't disclose here, I would like to acknowledge that he did an amazing job on the logo.

I do like the blue background as well, however I will not thank you that much because frankly your last couple posts here came of as a tad arrogant.

There is someone we should all thank, and that is Seth for his constant development of this site whether it is the look (like it or not, it took some work to get it like this) or the behind the scenes server maintenance, or for all the fixes and other things he does as well.

I'd also like to point out that - at first - I did not like the new look, but the more and more I get used to it, the better it is looking.

While offering thanks for any compliments received, I would now suggest that this thread not become a launching point for more bickering, ego, and nonsense. This isn't the place for it.

Perceive it as you will, I assure you it wasn't intentional.  Seth did 99% of the work.

I agree 100%. At first I thought it looked unfinished...but now, it looks pretty darn good. Much better than what I felt was the jury-rigged previous theme, which I always thought was a bit disjointed since the SMF2 update. 

Just a couple things I noticed...one, really long usernames are extending into the right column, mixing in with post titles...dunno if that's a bug to be worked out. Also, it appears as if the default avatar size shrunk a bit.

Overall, well done to all parties involved.  The actual show could take a few design tips from you guys.

Yeah. There should be a separate section of the site specifically designated for more bickering, ego, and nonsense.

There is.

Things look fine on this end, Seth.

[heelsrule1988]

Looks pretty good! The only thing I'm not a fan of is the new post indicator... the lit up/dimmed Plinko chip made it very easy to see which threads had new posts in them. I see they're still on the front page, but it would be nice if they were still everywhere else.

I didn't like the first "draft". But I definitely like this one. Nice work!
