there are still changes to be made, fanman....but, i have to agree with you... for some reason, it kinda makes me dizzy.... not sure why though???? i figgered it was just me having trouble~~another one of my quirky, oddball things...... ...i had to leave earlier because of it....but, not that i want it to be changed back; not at all, just really hoping the tweeking that has to be done yet will make things easier for me, 'cause there's NO-WAY i could do a full wknd of games; not to mention basically 6 days a wk during bball.... let's hope sis can make it easier for us goofy goobers having issues!!!! lol

I agree, this is awful. As slicer said, kind of dizzying. Tough to look at. The colors badly need changed, as they aren't far enough apart on the color scale for the eye to differentiate with ease, which means they eye has to struggle to focus in and make the subtle differences noticeable. And all the blue hues are a natural depressant to the human mind. Blue is a calming color, as I believe I read from RM earlier, but overuse stimulates depression. Further, the pictures under members are very distracting. If someone doesn't have one, don't put up a giant silhouette. It catches the eye quicker than the text, and when trying to read the text and always fighting against looking at the picture, it is another item that makes it tough to read a damn thing.

A long way to go to make this tolerable.

Geez, ya bunch of sticks in the mud!! I love the change. It'll take some getting used to, of course, but it looks great and seems to function well.

We will get used to it after a while. (Unlike Gout or Herpes, which requies a longer adjustment period)

The pictures will be going. I don't like them either. Allot of changes to come. Have not had much chance to work with it yet as I have been really busy at work. Boss been wanting me to put in all kinds of overtime.

All yeah, just wait until you guys see the scoreboard updating feature. Check out the board on your phone. You will see great improvement.

Wondering what you guys think of this. I could try to customize this board, but with Boss riding me about putting in overtime, it would be quicker to use a already created skin. What do you think of this look. I could download it and install it

That demo page is much better. The dark blue separating each post is very helpful.....I still don't like it....but at least it's readable....lol.

i actually like the way you have it set now, better! lol..... my only issue is the 'getting nauseated' feeling <-----and it's not from reading our posters this time! :wedgie: but, i don't know what's causing it, so there's no solution.

you're never gonna please all of us, so, i wouldn't even try..... i'll end up dealing with what ever is done....i just can't wait to see the ticker tape!!!!!!!!!!!!! :punk:

Fanman, I found a board using our old software:
http://racestud.com/...hp?showforum=37

look it over and let me know what the crucial difference is, and I will try to make it happen here if possible. The font appears a little smaller.

I changed the post background color to white, I think that helps with the glare some. i think the font is smaller on the old board, It seems to be the same type though. The huge profile pics will be leaving when I figure out how to do it.

i do believe this has made it easier.... i also believe you are prolly correct in that the old style (on racestud) does appear smaller! wow!?!
i've had about 7 hours sleep total in 3 days, so, i will get some rest & see if that makes a difference for me! lol

not fond of the profile pics leaving though..... at all! Posted Image

thanks for all of your help today, sis! much appreciated!! :hifive2: next time we chat, you'll have to fill me in on your bro's identity!!! ;)
