You may have noticed that the style for our forums has been updated. The new colors and graphics are designed to better match the color scheme of the site, and to make it easier to get around the site.
The New Topic button is much more visible:
Also the post icons have been updated:
Stay tuned for more… 😉
July 7, 2005 at 12:55 am #125664SpikeMemberI’ve actually been riding on this one for a few days now, Jeff, and I’ve enjoyed it much more. I agree, the buttons are much more visible! And the blue title bars make pages look much more vibrant than the old gradient style.
Oh, and the smileys, too, I just noticed, we’re back to color! Great! 😉
July 7, 2005 at 2:22 am #125671RustyMemberYea it is awesome.
July 7, 2005 at 2:34 am #125663Hurricane22491MemberIt’s nice, but I can’t decide whether this one is better or not. Oh well, not a big deal, since this one is nice as well.. I just get a feeling that this will strain my eyes in the morning.
July 7, 2005 at 3:08 am #125661TigerbladeParticipanthmm. i miss the old style. softer on the eyes, easier to look at. no way to switch back if we choose?
July 7, 2005 at 3:58 am #125670AqeelParticipant”Life is colorful now…” I wake up in morning, come online and wow… BigBlueBall is quite fresh it looks that it might rained last night on forums;) I don’t have any bad effect on eyes, it is not straining. But may be thats because of my eyes, not so senstive so no problem, but if others find it difficult we shall have to have a look at it. Reversing to old style, I’m agianst it but button colors scheme can be changed to some other.
July 7, 2005 at 4:08 am #125660EEDOKMemberThe green buttons look like a colorblind child put them there.. Can’t stick to different shades of blue?

Near the bottom, you should be able to select a style.EEDOK wrote:The green buttons look like a colorblind child put them there.. Can’t stick to different shades of blue?Well, the BBB logo is both blue and green, so I suppose what with all the blue around, he might’ve wanted a little green to spice things up a bit. 😎
EDIT: Scratch that, Tiger, hmm, Jeff seems to have disabled the option to pick and choose our own, and I can’t guess the style ID of the old one (maybe he deleted it?), so we’re stuck, sorry.
July 7, 2005 at 7:15 am #125659Someguy03MemberI like the green buttons. They add a more vibrant look. The old stlye was too plain, this might be a LITTLE too bright.
July 7, 2005 at 9:23 am #125675Eagle_KiwiMemberI’m puzzled.
I HAD noticed the smileys are now yellow again, but I was unaware of any other change until I read this thread.
And – I STILL can’t see anything that looks different!
Am I missing something…. or (ulp) is that “something” just My Memory ? 😉July 7, 2005 at 10:34 am #125672MrOatsMemberI like the new colors…:) But the old one was easier on the eyes…
July 7, 2005 at 10:59 am #125673miGsMemberSeems cool!!! 😉

If so, the only additional change would be the status icons and smileys.The new colors are bolder, and were chosen to match the colors in our logo. I considered going monochromatic and using blue for the buttons, but I think the green stands out better and adds a bit of color. I had many people complain that they overlooked the old gray buttons and couldn’t figure out how to post a new topic!
July 7, 2005 at 4:24 pm #125666LucifinaMemberOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Totally awesome I like this much much much better! Before the colors were cool but..well…bleak. Now they are bold and much better on my old weary eyes. Thank god we have the regular smilies back, i hated the old ones.
July 7, 2005 at 4:27 pm #125669ToeBeeMemberLooks great to me Jeff the contrasting colors is just what it needed….
