Out of Curiosity thread, an update ?

[Indy51]

Thanks so much for reinstating New Posts - I was beginning to think it was gone forever, so it was a great surprise to find it again. Just to show that we're all different yet again, I hate the way Recent Posts works so it's a relief to have my preferred option available again

@givenchy, do you have a set of users that you provide access to a test enviroment to do some UAT? That might help with feedback on updates.

Secondly, when an update is planned, would it be possible to provide 24 hours notification that change is coming?

Hate the title bar change ..... just hate it.

Another one here who hates it

It is far too red! It is too much. The older one had black in it to visually dumbing down.
I don't like solid banners. It's just like looking at the morning trashy dailys like the sun, the mail, the sport, the star! It's shocking.

Couldn't agree with you more. Now you've said about it looking like the morning trashy daily's, I can see that too now. The red needs toning down, way to bright!

I'm not bothered as to what my 'title' is.
Like RRB, I do find the whole look seems to be very bright and brash but I suspect that's my age.

More importantly, how does this forum look for someone who is red/green colour blind? I noticed the green flag at the top is against the red background . Can someone with this problem distinguish it? (don't know, it's a genuine question which could affect 8% of potential male members)

Having had people moaning to me about upgrades in the past, I totally agree that they are necessary and my experience is that within 48 hrs people can barely remember what has changed.

But I have to agree with the red being a bit too in-your-face.
It is like someone shining a red light at me every time I switch page. I will learn to ignore it, but it feels a bit aggressive.

Red may be the colour of blood, but it is also the colour that nature uses to signal DANGER! And we are all instinctively and culturally programmed to react to it in that way.

Horrible isn't it, think we all agree

Definitely, it was mentioned but.............................but Giverny did leave replies to questions, then more questions to that, then more replies....................

I like the colour red and I'm sure updates are needed in all organisations, positive ones. I did mention the brightness and colour a few times yesterday, because of the connection with diabetes and lots of eye problems for members, it's like a large fluorescent light being shone in the face, not pleasant at all. So not the Spanish inquisition, but the diabetes Inquisition ? lol
The smilie logo is smaller too.

More questions about vision, a good point Phoenix. It is very unpleasant to look at.

I like red - no surprise for a Gooner really

It was red before (I like the colour red) and it looked bold and dramatic, but this fluorescent lighting effect is just awful

I can live with everything else (in fact I couldn't care less), but this change I cannot.

BAD BAD decision ... and yes, I've done a LOT of website artwork. Shocking choice of colours / contrasts.

It's just put me off visiting

I like the colour red but this is just too bright, it needs toning down or have black edging around the lettering

 

[NicolaB70]

Another thing, thankyou for the added forum and post tags but I personally think they would be better and stand out more if they were bold text

It's too much "in your face" it leapt of the screen and hit me in the eyes...literally took me a while to adjust

 

[Bluetit1802]

I've tried my best to get used to it, but I think it is awful. Too bright and brash, and it makes my eyes hurt. Together, Red and Green must never be seen (except upon an Irish Queen) Also, the navigation links to "new posts" etc. are barely visible. All in all, dreadful.

Hmmm...is it really that much of a big deal? Laurence Llewellyn Bowen did not just sneak into your house whilst you were out and 'boudoir' up your living room in garish red! It's just a forum. Surely the colour and layout isn't particularly important so long as the information and support remains strong and valuable...
