Re: Looks great now guys ;-)
Frankly , it looks awful on my pc. Maybe it's because I'm forced to use IE7.
Also I can't find "Search" or "New posts since last visit".
It wasn't broken, didn't need fixing.

I cant say I don't mind it - although the text colour is a little hard on the eyes with the light background.
Overall, I like the layout.

Re: Looks great now guys ;-)
sorry, i just have to reiterate.
ever since this change...i've dreaded logging onto turtlerock.
i cant see anything, and after a days work, my brain explodes looking at this colour scheme.

OK, Anyone know how to post images now? Before it had that little link below that used the external hosting system. The "new features" post mentioned the photo's would be uploaded directly to turtlerock.
Thanks for any help guys!

Re: Looks great now guys ;-)
Sorry, I'm not digging the new look. I've tried to.
It looks like a menu from some American western style diner. I'm seriously expecting a picture of a side of ribs as I scroll down.
I'll order the Taco's with a side of chopped salad.

Re: Looks great now guys ;-)
It looks nice blended together visually, but I think its the wrong choice of color and texture combination for a forum, that is text and reading based.
The text color you have chosen is not enough contrast for the background color. The patterned or texture background also does not add to making this forum easy to read.
It is my understanding that people like a forum that you can quickly scroll through and quickly selectively choose the information you would like to read.
The color choice and texture you have chosen makes this difficult.
I think a balance of design and readability should be taken into consideration when choosing the appropriate design for a forum.
I think there is not enough contrast for the text section of this new design.

Hey China...here's some online counseling for you..........

an overview from the cover page:
[quote]
THE SECRET OF THE INNER WEIRDO
Admit it. Go on. You have absolutely no clue what an "Inner Weirdo" is, do you?
That's fine, don't feel ignorant. Most of the world is yet to discover this secret, which is vital to a Happy Life, so don't feel bad. Here's a hint..
Praise For "Trust In Your ..."
"Hi Jacqueline, (From another Jacki)
I’m writing as a co-author of The Path To Success and have just finished reading ‘Trust in Your Inner Weirdo.’
I received 5 different gems of wisdom from your story and am writing to thank you for sharing your truth with the world.
It’s great to be associated with you.
Always Choose Empowering Thoughts!" [end Quote]
.......ps I have been missing Mark R's pearls of wisdom so i thought i would drop this one on the forum :)

Re: Looks great now guys ;-)
after finding out a lady during an evening of conversation with friends liked alot of music i liked...i felt so inclined as to tell her:
"we can jump up and down on my bed, just like old times".
Trusting the inner wierdo doesnt work always.
