Yellow = dislike
Blue = dislike
Try again.
Move to a lighter colour BG with black text while you're at it. _________________

I think I'm likin' the dark blue BG with light text that we've always had. It's easy to read.
Edit: This yellow has to go. It makes looking for new responses a bit harder >.> |

If you have to go light text on dark, at least make the blue a darker blue. This candy blue sucks. Also, I know your logo is yellow (which sucks) but you really need to lose all yellow from the colour scheme and never bring it back... _________________

Man, I hope we've got our defaults saved somewhere in case I blow this place up. |

That's what I tried for. I tried changing what was listed as "Link Color," but it ended up changing MORE than that--that's what the yellow was. I wanted that to be the color of linked text, but it was also the color of links to forum threads, and a header thing >_< |

Yellow is cool
I really don't have a problem with the blues and whites though.
If Liquid had his way it'd be black text on a black bg.  _________________

Well it totally worked, so go back and change it again. Just don't make it such an offensive yellow...
Make it a lighter blue, like a pastel or powder... _________________

That's gonna be track #2 on my record. Everytime I hear a silly phrase I name a track after it. You just won the prize!
FYI Track 1 is "What the white man calls it" _________________

It does too. Look, the link is a different color. They key is to look at it.
If I may add, the "visited link" color is the same as regular text. Since you've obviously been to the link, you're probably not seeing it.
See? See the different color? |

Are you implying that I visit links about tentacle rape porn? Well I never...
Actually I see what you're saying and I don't like it. Change the "visited link" colour to something other than white. It still sucks. _________________

I just made a couple new little buttons. Might change them up but I figure I'd test these out. _________________

WHOO! This greenish shit is awesome! It is like... everything I hoped for and more! Man, but I love this! The only suggestion I have is make this a tad bit richer, and that goes for every color on the forum except for the deep purple background, which is a little... rich... already.
Hmm. I think I am the only one who likes this green. Oh well! One can always hope! _________________ H-E-S-T-E-R is a long, convoluted joke. |
