Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
Not too bad Sy, but I'm a bit negatively jaded since Yahoo recently made my email experience/screen view/tools/etc. pretty awful. Once I get comfortable on a website, or with certain functions, I get kind of lazy and like to keep it that way.
We're trying to get folks back to Skippyforums. Pat made a pitch at a Road America drivers meeting, hoping to entice the newer folks. We're not Facebook, but we don't need to be. This site has a definite purpose and a lot to offer. Viz |

The idea of the refresh was to make the site look a bit more modern, a bit wider and mostly softer and readable. Any thoughts about how we did with those specifically would be great. |
Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
It's OK, I was fine with the old colors as I think they differentiated cells and tables much more clearly - but what I really dislike is the wider format - totally necessary and too wide for my screen with my sidebar open... my 2 pesos |
Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
Actually Sy, it's ok with me, other than the wide format Doug mentioned. (Now, tonight, it doesn't seem as wide as 2 days ago ??) I "settled in" a bit more after taking the poll and I can certainly work with the new format.

Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
I'm siding with Doug on his main point. I'm having a hard time accepting the wider format. When its more narrow, I can read the paragraph with my eyes. In wide mode, I must move my head as well, which is a little more work. Although we're not talking about running 6 miles on foot, it does take something away from the relaxation of enjoying the forum.
Otherwise, the forum is still very nicely organized and looks great. I like the fonts a lot. Thank you Sy for spending time to make this fresher and better! |

Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
Greg,
I'm sorry it worked out that way with the schedules! I am certain we will see a lot more of each other next year with the merger. Will you be doing Continental again next year? :) |

I'll do a new style at the old width soon, and you guys can switch back and forth at will to compare. Will let you know when it's ready. Quote:

Sounds like Gerardo has a really big screen. I've heard girth is preferable, but I guess not in this situation. |

Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
I like the new format Sy.
But I have an answer for Gerardo. Reading the new Skippy forums "WITHOUT" moving your head....... This will improve your peripheral vision. Phil Hill had his vision path greater than 180 degrees. This new format could be a great help to all of us. I'll bet that Sy never realized what he hath wrought. George |
Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
FYI, I added a new 'narrow' version of the new forum style for you guys to choose from. You can use the new 'chooser' in the top right corner of the screen to change styles.

Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
Update: I reset the style system, so you may have to 'reselect' your preferred style again.

Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
Thanks for working on this Sy... :wave: |
Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
I like the new look. The layout works on both my 21" desk monitor and my iPhone screen.

Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
Something wrong?... Safari doesn't recognize me and asks for a sign in. After sign in it says "Thanks for signing in..." then reverts to a home screen requiring sign in that again doesn't recognize me.
Switched to Firefox and it recognized me |
Re: Updated Forum Look / Style
The odd behavior has gone away... Thanks if there was work involved.
Thanks Dude for updating and tweaking. Appreciate it. :D |
