Background post colour
-
I'm driving myself and our designer a little nuts trying to get a neat way of highlighting the current message in forums and so we've gone back to what we had, albeit with a different, and more complimentary colour. Is the text of this message on the selected background easy to read, or us going back to white better for everyone, or (as I'm guessing) somewhere in the middle. A lighter shade, perhaps.

Much improved although the light grey for the "reply", etc. prior to mouse-over could be a trifle darker. Keep up the good work.

We're happy that you're happy. :-D It's the exact same shade of orange as the accounting paper we used to use before there were computers, as an alternative to the green that "real" accountants used. I think they only preferred the green because it matched their eyeshades...

A friend told me a story, not sure if true but said a cop stopped him for speeding and when the officer reached the car asked "Where's the fire" to which my friend responded "In your eyes officer".

The old one (clearer) was prettier, now it is easier to read though... The reply,... and vote area are too pale in both cases...

like this better than all white. Agree with others though, need to make the links at bottom darker.

What most everyone else said: It's much better now, but the light gray for the Reply, etc. is almost invisible.

The colour is much much better and will let get into old age without too many eye problems courtesy CP. :) But can you please please remove all the Javascript eye candy stuff? It's functionally a void IMHO and 2012 is way too far to resort to JS mouseover fade-in/fade-out effects. The minimal JS functions on the older layout was perfect and did not interfere with the display and layout.

It's CSS3 transitions. No Javascript.

The previous one was just fine, this one is a big mismatch. it is like the designers got confused between new and old theme. :)

It's much better, thanks! :rose: If you reduce the vertical padding between lines and increase the contrast of the Reply | Edit | Delete post commands (to match the contrast when you mouseover them) you won't hear me whining for a l-o-n-g time. :-D Gracias, /ravi

The background and main text are OK but the pre-mouseover gray text at the bottom is putrid. X|

The small text (where it says things like Reply) is a bit too pale to read clearly

More than a trifle - make it look like when you mouse over it! :) /ravi

Looks much better. I like it, and as the others have mentioned, the grey links need to be adjusted.

It needs a better font. I find the black on orange in this particular font difficult to read. Even with my specs it becomes straining after a while.

I find the messages a little hard to read, had to press control 0 just to make sure I was at default, perhaps just a tad larger, e.g. 0.075em to 0.8 em, maybe just a little more contrast, lighten the bg color and darken the text 1 level. The old format was really easy to read for me. But we must accept the new. Looks great, very clean lines.

I dont think there is no functional value, it is for lowering the UI noise. same reason we have expand and collapse threads. I guess CP can bind the css class with the noise level we select on the top of the forum, to make everyone happy.

it's good, but it looks a little gay though. (not that I have anything against those people) It's at least better than white.
