Domino Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 What do you prefer? Do you like dark, light or high contrast? i'm looking at introducing a dark background and keeping this light/white version as a user selectable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I like the white option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I like the alternating background colours for the posts however, I would prefer the blue background to be darker. Thanks for all the good work you do on this site Domino! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dog Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 As somebody who is colour blind and needs reading glasses, this works better for me! Bigger and more contrast always helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reved Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I prefer hi contrast. To bright for my poor eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 1 hour ago, Reved said: I prefer hi contrast. To bright for my poor eyes. At the risk of this group sounding like Goldilocks (too hot, too cold), I also find this too bright. It's "the future" and most will love it. However, one of the reasons I didn't migrate to Apple ios was what I perceived to be a bright, yet muddled colour look (ios). This doesn't come close to that (they had a Crayola feel last time I looked), but is in the same 'look' category. Also, since many access this site on mobile, is the huge time stamp necessary? Reved was 42 minutes before me, but that time stamp is as big as his quoted message. No time stamp or, if possible, smaller. Thx Domino.

Domino Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Ok, the new theme is here. You may select the previous theme by clicking on theme on the bottom left of the screen (scroll all the way down). If you would like to find something on the old forum, like your avatar that may have not imported incorrectly, you may access the old forum for a limited time at http://ontarioconditions.com/forums347 The old forum is now outdated and in READ ONLY mode.

slomo Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I may be missing something, but is there a way to preview your posts before submitting? Comes in handy for arranging pictures and text, yet don't see a button for it. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Prefer the new color scheme, seems everything stands out better .... sure love the mobile version ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 My problem is that when I log in I'm shown the last post of each thread rather than the last unread post. I click on the little star or circle icon at the top left of a message, see the last posted message, then have to scroll to earlier unread messages or else I miss them.

02Sled Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The only small challenge I seem to have is Notifications. If someone quotes something I posted I get a notification that comes up in the top right corner. It seems that you can't turn these notifications off regardless of whether I am using a laptop, IPAD or Android phone. I also don't have notify turned on at the bottom of the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to get used to the movement towards grey text and reduction of contrast between text and background. Happened to read a neat article on the topic last night (via a daily aggregator, medium.com), and it's worth seeing where design was and where it's at now. Basically, the author (older guy) liked the good old days: versus the new standard (same info., especially in lower right quadrant): BRILLIANT WORK DOMINO! Thanks for moving us into 2016 (some of us, kicking and screaming ).

Among other problem that you have, this one seems to work for me. There maybe a first time you read it issue, where the forum needs to learn. However it takes me to the first unread post. I assume you are clicking on the dot or star indicted here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I see I go into the Notifications and I can't turn off A notification when new content is posted I do think I may have just found the problem though. The save button appears at the bottom of my screen. I just found that I can scroll down further which isn't obvious. Turning these two off will probably do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
