BBTV Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 now that I've had time to view it on desktop more, I agree that it's really white. It lights up my whole room when viewd on my 27" monitor. Maybe the sides (around the actual posts) could be a shade darker? Maybe match the blue? Just something a little less bright. I haven't noticed any issues with fonts. Can someone post a screen shot of the complaint? I'm just curious to see if I'm viewing it differently somehow. Everything looks fine to me.

LMU Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The font is Roboto - the standard Android font. Like most people I don’t see what issue there is other than it being different. In terms of colors, we can tinker with the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I can't even tell a difference between before and now. If it's different it's not enough for me to notice. It's snot bold for me like it is in those screen shots. Looks normal to me.

KittSmith_95 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Okay..... so did Chris do some more tinkering? I see a lot more blue, but fonts are now ineligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi -- can the Start New/Reply To Topic be changed to a color that isn't bright red? It's really jarring. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Bear Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I actually like the red. Goes with the logo's color scheme. I can see how the red is a little garish, but I'm (personally) not bothered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I still think there should be some red in there somewhere, but the baby blue is nice. Maybe find a button or something to make red, just to give the page a bit more color. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

LMU Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It’s all trial and error. Chris and I figured out the reply button this morning. We were going for a 70s Texas Rangers road uniform vibe with the baby blue added to the red/dark blue. I’ll see if we can fit red somewhere.

The multiquote button isn't bad, but the font color needs to be made white. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

CS85 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Is this using an Ubuntu font? I don't know if I like it. It's readable, but something about it feels off.

It's good for economy brand beers, but there's gotta be something better out there. Could do way, way worse, however. --- --- --- Disappointed to see that images don't automatically embed themselves. Tweets, YouTube seem fine. I don't like having to do the Insert other media/Insert image from URL thing. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

KittSmith_95 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The site is really starting to come together under the new template..... I like it. However, I've been getting a 404 almost every other page on here today.... and I have 0 idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like everything is screaming because of it. Using such a bold font for everything is too jarring and it removes visual hierarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
