New forum style

The light blue writing isn't very friendly on the eye against the white, would be better if it was a bit darker.

Please can it be a bit less fluorescent.

I'm assuming that wangi is responsible for this. We did discuss changing the colours slightly so that they exactly matched our logo/website colours. I'm not sure if that is now the case. Certainly doesn't seem to be the same shade of blue. Wangi?

I changed them (well, only the link colour actually) to match the main site - it's the same colour.

It does make sense for them to match, but... I think the original Idea was for the site colour to match the forum colour, so perhaps it'd be better to change things that way round? I'll revert the colour tomorrow, and have a word with Paul.

Wangi, you were right first time. The plan was to customise the forum colours so that they matched our website colours, which in turn are dictated by the logo colours.

But, the forum link colours just don't look the same as the blue in the logo. It may just be an optical illusion, but it certainly appears to me that the blue in the forum links is a different shade altogether.

The colours are the same, its just they don't work in this context, I think the original colours are fine and readable, so just keep them. To merge stylistically with the main site all you need is to constrain the width of the forum to the header, in my opinion

Glad to see someone had changed them though. I thought it was my eyes or my computer that were going wonky.

I love the changing header pictures.

Why are some threads in a darkish blue and others in a bright blue?

*edit* something to do with popularity of thread I guess? Not so noticeable now anyway since the colour has reverted . Ignore me

I was wondering too - I was just going to say it's because you're on a Mac

On mine (Firefox) it is pages that I have loaded into another window or frame which are the different colour... Can't find a reason why in the code...

I wondered about the different shades of blue too

At first I thought it was threads that I had read that were lighter but it isn't that
