Everything is Great except the color scheme is rough on the eyes, don't like the blues and grays at all..makes it difficult to read text.

The darker background does take some getting used to and could live with a lighter color but everything else rocks.

But...for the love of God! We have a major event underway and you launch this now???! :eek:

too much shock...I'll drink more coffe and then I'll be fine.

Nice work!

I know I'm new here, so I probably don't have much right to be critical, but I find the white text on blue/grey background far harder to read than what it was before (was it red text on white background?). I don't know much about the other features, as I just started using the site.

For awhile I thought I was alone on that sentiment ..now I notice in my reply box to you my blinking cursor is gray on light blue background and almost literally cannot see it...and the print is black/purple on this same background(poor contrast/hard to read, hard on the eyes)....once the post goes thru, white text on a blue blackground is readable(not as good as black on white) BUT is not standard on any forum.........other features are great but the color schemes leave much to be desired,,the folks in charge asked for feedback, so that includes the poz and neg..[please reconsider some of the colors, its not supposed to be a PRETTY BOARD but a functional one]...thx!!!!!! 8-)

Looks cool, but it takes a little getting used to. Love the menu bar at the top!

I agree that I like the menu bar at the top, but I also agree with some others here that the color scheme is hard to read. I prefer black text on a light background. Hopefully there will be different color scheme choices soon.

The color scheme is excellent. The lettering is white. White on blue should be easy to read. GREAT JOB Chad!!!

Everybody is different. I love the sleek design, but I'll still probably go back to my old fisubgreen template when it's available. I'm more used to that one. :wink:

Tonight we will reset everyone back to their original template choice. We just wanted to introduce the new look and feel to the whole board and get everyone's feedback. This will become the default template and will be the first one to be updated with new features. Thanks for all the comments both positive and negative. :-)

I personally think this template is super slow to load. It takes like 10-15 seconds to load a page, and I have a very fast cable internet connection. :( It is either very resource intensive or very processor intensive IMHO.
