How do you like new skin of the forum? I have always wanted to change this dull grey and white setting for a livelier one. I am in the process of experimenting but the current setting is close to the ideal. Unfortunately, the forum technical capabilities have certain limitations and some colours don`t go with each other like I would like them to.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who was seeing that! Whew, I was a bit worried there...  I'm all for new colors! Plus, I think something a bit more lively suits you! ;D ;D ;D Imho, the current combination does clash a bit, though. The greens and the blue don't quite work together for me. I'm guessing you prefer nature inspired colors to the traditional red and white. What about swapping out the blue for a shade of brown? |

I like the combo I just saw - the stork photo and the red/white header with the rest in greens. Looks great!  |

I considered all your pieces of advice and here it is. I like it, it is almost finished as it seems close to the ideal I wanted to achieve. I still need to figure out a better colour for the tagged headline in the photo. |

Try black...I think it will pop against the pale yellow and it will also help to pull the black of the stork (and make it more noticeable too). |

I think you are having a lot of fun with this...I can completely relate to that! I made a pretty detailed webpage for my son's hockey team last year. I lost track of how much time I spent on it, but everyone thought it looked great and I had a lot of fun doing it. Anyway, back to your color scheme...all three look good. The title stands out in black, but now that I have been looking at it more closely, I like the red letters on the white part of the Polish flag. Gee, aren't you glad you asked for opinions? Have fun!  |

Try red letters, and a white background.

I definitely prefer the red letters! My second choice would be the black with the green a distant third...

The Forum Provider introduced a new feature - a bigger advert but with possibilty of Recent Topics list.
It takes more space but the list is useful.
I am in two minds about it.

I find the new layout very useful.
What I find confusing the the background colours mixing with the colour of the letters in teh navigation bar or whatever is the name.

Tufta, do you think it isn`t confusing to me? This is the issue that has been bothering me since I introduced changes. Some colours of fonts are shared and fixed - they are the same for different sections. To have them changed, I would have to invent a completely new colour layout for the forum . |

I meant the backgorund blue. I remember when teh background was different colour there was no such problem. But I can live with it, Bo!  |
