Colt45 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 This is just my opinion, and is not intended to be critical or a knock. I'll use the forum in whatever form it takes. One of the things I really liked about the original forum was it's ease of readability. I thought the threads read more like a book due to the minimum of separation between posts. I found the new forum to be more boxy / blocky and having less flow. Now with the recent update, I'm finding the color changes making it more so. The darker bars between posts of a thread create more separation, making for tougher readability, and I find all the extra chartreuse rather distracting. Again, just my opinion / thinking out loud.
habanohal Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I like alot! Just logged on and said......."damn Rob, you da man" lol
Ginseng Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Chartreuse? Where's there a lot of chartreuse? Wilkey
Colt45 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Chartreuse? Where's there a lot of chartreuse?Wilkey Bars, buttons, and icons which were previously shades of gray are now chartreuse. Chartreuse buttons with knock out type - a bit difficult to read. Overall, I'm finding it a bit tough on the eyes.
Tampa1257 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 The changes are just plain ***!! They make the forum less customer friendly, harder to read and I personally like to previous format MUCH better! I guess that someone hired Ken's Bruce to work out the color issues that are the Gayest I have ever seen on a cigar forum. Simply horrible, need to deep-6 this update
rckymtn22 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I agree it is hard to read. I can see why the colour was picked as it matches the logo. Not sure what the difference is between the FOH photo gallery and the hot box picture forum? Are they not both the same? Maybe make one for cigars and the other for everything else. Still the best forum on the net!
shrink Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Frankly, I don't know why FOH just doesn't use vBulletin. It's the standard and everyone is used to it. That being said, I agree with some of the criticisms voiced above. The grey bars between the posts are too tall, and I'd prefer some other color than chartreuse. But frankly, any color is welcome. This board has been too monochromatic. I'll reserve final judgement until I've had a chance to review all the functional additions.
Ginseng Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Oh my god. I had to do a refresh and clear cache to see what you guys were talking about. Yikes! Wilkey
Colt45 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 I don't know if there is a specific reason for this update, but I think the previous inacarnation of the new forum was simply more legible. It's not so much the colors, but how they are being used and their intensity. To be honest, it's like trying to have a conversation with yoko ono blaring in the background.

Fully agree....thought I had logged onto the wrong site.....looks wrong, is distracting, wromg, wrong, wrong. At least give the option to turnoff the new scheme.
mkz Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Nooooo!!! Why did you guys make me push F5?!? Its... its... its puke!!
GP012 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Is there an option to switch to a different "skin" with this board software? I like the green, but it's just a little too bright with the current color scheme. Maybe use it strictly for accents instead of such a major component?
