We have gotten rid of the frames. A new section for the Australian People's Party has been added, and an illustrated guide to grafting tomato and eggplant (aubergine) onto wild tobacco.

Can you see a google ad at the top of this forum? Can you see the gray header with links to the rest of the site? I know the rounded corners are missing and it is a bit narrower and offset, but that's the best we can do for now.

Re: colours, layout etc Reply #3 - Dec 1^st, 2006 at 3:27pm That was to save people having to do the extra click to get down into the general board. I thought I should do that while we only have one general discussion board - people aren't going to be that interested in feedback or the sandpit.

Re: colours, layout etc Reply #4 - Aug 11^th, 2007 at 11:29am I have just lightened up the two main background colours on the forum - the ones that alternate between posts. Let me know what you think. Also, does anyone else have a font preference? http://ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1174833109/78#78

Off white and just a little more off white is more than enough, the background still looks tan and light tan to me. Also still [size=14][/size] think the font size is too small. fiddling with your controls didn't seem to fix it either.

Thue use of colours is a good idea FD..highlight certain areas etc...draw attentiion..create more visual appeal.

I'll change the rest of the background colours to match once we find a set that suits everyone. FYI the two current colours are #FFEEDD and #FFF9EE. Up until a few days agao they were #EFD6C3 and #FFE6D3.

The problem is that different monitors do different things with colour commands. If there is a specific colour you don't like, you will have to do a screen dump into MS paint or something, then put a mark to indicate the region with the bad colour.

I've changed it again - only slightly this time. See the attached picture. We are now using the two colours labelled 'change 3'. I also put FFDFBF around the outside and FFF3E7 in the gap bits at the top and bottom.

The rest of the website had a background of FFE6D3 (in 'original' group). I'll lighten it slightly to FFEFDF, which is the darker of the two we have on the forum posts area now.
