The Thread Where I Didn't Know What Was Going On But Do Now

Post by Worm of Despite »

Is it just me or is anybody else seeing the Watch in strange colors? The site layout's all orange and dark brown and there's a little red "x" where some images should be. Maybe I smoked something last night, I dunno, but this can't be right!

Will you be fixing images and such any time soon? I'm not sure I like the colours mich, but it might look ok with all the pics working.


I do like the way the avatars and sig pics contrast with the background, btw...

It's 4am this side and I'm first going to get some sleep :)

If you guys can say what's missing, what you can't see etc that'll be great as it will give me a reference to work with.

Thanks :)

I like it, though I've always been a fan of the darker schemes. Got a Farscape feel to it.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Not showing up w/out highlighting... admin names on the index, "Who is Online."

Also, I think the yes/no buttons aren't working right either.

It needs a little fine tuning. Some of the icons from the old layout are recurring--like the old "new topic" icon, etc. I like it, but it just takes some getting used to. Feels more homey than the old style.

The Edit Profile is a little screwed up - the text box background is white, and the new font colour is white... Other than that there does'nt seem much wrong - maybe orange-text-on-brown-background in the who's online bit looks a bit odd...


Edit - okay, why's everyone always a step ahead of me on this? Okay, so it'd been almost an hour since I looked at Edit Profile - looks fine now.

it's hard on my eyes at the moment, I've never been a big fan of white on dark colors. But, I'm sure I'll get used to it. :D

If you do keep this, it looks like I'll have to change my sig color and my title and name colors...clashing horribly! :?

Aargh! change the font colour in your sig, Furls - the contrast's really hard on the eyes!

Actually, your title and name colours look pretty good, it's just your sig....

This olive seems better :D

And my eyes are adjusting now. :) I'll get used to anything that makes the site better for SRD's official site. :D :D

Now that I've been staring at these colors for an hour or so, I have to admit I like it very much. I've done html editing myself and I know how hard it is to get every little detail converted so I understand the little bits and bobs that are still a little off. If we're trying to match the new SRD web site then I'm even more pleased. :D

8O I beg your pardon... You all seem to like this new order of things very much... but... I feel like I was 4 years old again. Is this some kind of 70ties retro thing? Brown on brown with some orange and yellow??? It is like, super-brown here. Neon-brown... Glow-in-the-dark-brown... 40 shades of Brown? :P

Well, perhaps it is just me. :wink:

Vain, quick observation here...I was looking in "Dissecting" and all the quotes are a pale pale white on a black background. Very very hard to see. Don't think that is going work, it's like the spoiler, only you can barely see the characters. :?

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the quotes - yes, they're dark on dark, but I can still read them prefectly fine...
