Hey guys,


Has anyone else noticed the forum color lately? I thought I threw up on the screen. Just my two cents, but that is one butt ugly color. :-)

Yea, it looks like what I saw at a public bathroom at a library.

I kinda like it.
In your face attitude! Besides, for all the German modelers, it it not like that mustard yellow paint they used?

One of the reasons swmbo complains is because im terrible at matching colors. Whats wrong with navy blue and black i say? So who am i to complain? :-)

A bit of weathering couldn't do the new color any harm tho.

I rather like it, the color that is but it would have been nicer still if this thread was not named .... 'EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW' but something like 'New Forum Color'!

I agree with Roo!

I think I like it a bit more in a darker version. The teal color was wearing on me.

Now to fix the font problems...

Hi
Its OK, if it has to be.
But it looks a little farm yard to me, sort of cow-pat green or sheep dip olive. Fine on a military vehicle but as base for graphics...not so sure.

Only my view .......you should know me by now ...
like airwarrior...I can feel a Jackson Polluck coming on....

Cheers

Aw, the colors aren't that bad ... they liven the place up a bit ...

Besides, what really counts is the content in the nice white(-ish) messages ....

staff Jim,
i would like to report this

the forum name didnt not appear on the top of each forum. this is an example view with firefox


i also notioced that the buttons have a separator in between the lables.


and this is an example viewed with ie



as you can see that, in firefox, there is a line at the forum name while there're none in IE...

Hi Silata

There are some differences depending on which browser you use - that's true on many sites. I almost always use Firefox myself (I did my spoof with it) and I see the underline for the Site Talk heading, but not under the buttons. Interesting - what screen-resolution are you running in?

All the best

I may as well jump in and give my .02's worth...personally. I like it. Very, O.D., and quite frankly, one of, if not my favorite colors...just ask my wife! More than half of my wardrobe is olive and the other some type of camo! It's all about change, and no matter how large or small the change is, it's still Armorama, and Armorama has class...all around, that is. Good folk, good fun, good modeling. That's what really counts!
