Due to decreasing use over the years, I have decided to disable the forum functionality of the site.

Forums will still be available to view but new posts are no longer allowed.

So.....

Forums

They voted and liked the home page color scheme and then didn't like the change once applied to the forums..... Are there any plans to look for anything else? Adjusting to change doesn't seem to be easily tolerated.....

Yes I'm planning on adjusting at least the header. I will probably play with the colors on this board and see how it goes.

One of the hardest parts is getting all the icons to match the new color scheme.

Change, who needs change? Why back in my day, kids went to school in their barefeet, walking thru' miles of snow, got up when the sun got up, went to bed when the sun went down, did a day's honest work...

Woops, sorry there, was channelling my grandfather for a moment! :laugh1 :laugh1 :laugh1

On the serious side, given the amount of time I spend looking at text on the computer screen (and no, not just internet! :booty ), I have to be 'careful' of what colour schemes, layouts, etc., are used, otherwise I end up with massive headaches from eye strain. There's one forum that I can't even begin to read for any length of time, due to their layout. If I were to spend 30 minutes on it, I'd be this side of a migraine.

I am Diane on the headache and eye strain issues. I spend so much time online that if I spend too much time on the sites with the brighter colors, I also get a headache and eye strain.

I too love the color scheme change, but the reason I went back on the forum was due to the lack of "buttons" like the "active topics" button that I love. I could not understand why the change of colors would delete that button, but I checked it twice and it did... :BH

I wasn't just a change in colors. It was an entirely different theme that I had modified. I can't help it I like rounded corners :laugh1
