The new color bothers my eyes , I see it much plainer and like it Black n white, Is this the color or is it temporary??? I Hope!!! :thumbdown:

I have bad eyes.. yellow is ok with me... its the darker colors with light print that get me every time. Relative: my bad eyes require glass's for reading not for anything else so maybe this is different for other disorders?

I agree this is hard on my eyes

I agree I liked the color it was before , I'm also going blind and this isn't the best color for me either

I'm not crazy about this color either. I do like the text better though.

I don't care for the new format. It was easier to skim through the topics the old way. Oh well.

I like the new features, but I do wish they hadn't changed the color. It won't keep me from the QB, but I liked the black and white better.

Admin has tried several color combinations for the new version of the board. He got both "we love it" supportive comments and screaming criticism about every attempt.

we are impossible to please. :lol:

over time, he'll keep tinkering in search of features and looks that appeal to the most members possible.

in the meantime, let's appreciate his hard work on our behalf; offer constructive group-oriented input; and enjoy this wonderful FREE board.

I like everything about the change so far except this yellow color it blurs the words for me. I spend literally hours a day looking at things on here. Everything I have learned about quilting had come from this site. I am so glad I found it and have been very happy with it.

I must be the oddball - I like the yellow background! lol!! It's not so glaring to me, more soothing to look at.

Maybe a softer hue of this color? This has been interesting seeing what new changes have occurred-I like Change!

I also like the yellow, I thought the white was too bright but whatever admin. decides on is good for me. I will not stay away!!

And "I never noticed " Until I read this I didn't notice....I Don't take well to change....but I save it for the "big stuff"...I do know this color is supposed to be restful for the eyes.....I think this is better, but will take getting used to :thumbup:

I'm okay with the yellow and but I wear glasses to read.

Its not bad.....at least its not white letters on black. :hunf:

the larger print is a HUGE bonus and thank you to whoever is responsible for not only setting up the updates but for keeping this board a float. It is SO appreciated. I get up, I check my email then I go straight here before I even read the news. I love it here.

I can read this ok. There are changes everywhere and this is one I can live with just fine. Thank you Admin for all you do. I, too, spend way more time here than is practical!

I like the yellow. The thing that bothers me is the white background in the quote box....it really glares in the middle of the yellow. I think shaded yellow like behind the avatar would set it off well enough to recognize it as a quote.

I really preferred the old format, but I can learn to live with this, but I agree that this yellow color is very hard to "live with". I don't think I can spend a lot of time on board with this color.

I like this color on my machine it's beige. Very easy to read and not so glaring.

Don't like the yellow. I thought the white was easier to read.

OK I must be the odd one out, I do not see any yellow??!! Mine is a soft grey background. Am I missing something?

It sounds like everyones computer is different. There is a way to change colors on your machine I wonder if it's that. Like I said I'm beige and loving it.

Maybe a difference in monitors? Mine is showing a soft yellow, which I really like. :)

Since I'm new here, I didn't know about the other colors. I like this one, it's easy on my eyes. :-D

Hey..that's why there's so many different fabrics for our quilting, so it pleases all of us quilters. ;-)

I've got to stay off of here today, 'cause I've got a couple custom orders I've got to finish up today.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I like the muted color. The starkness of the white with the bigger text was jarring to me. One thing I have noticed, the design of a forum will make or break it. There are many I do not go to because of the bad layout. This is one of the better forums for easy to navigate. Thanks forum owner!

OK now I am losing it ......mine doesn't show " yellow at all" I have gray under the avatars and a silvery white as background for the posts....

I must be too, I like it

I agree with you. Much more difficult for me to read than the last color scheme. Though it does get me off this site and working on projects, so it's a good thing for me, lol

My monitor tilt has a lot to do with the color!

I have my display mode to true color. For some of you who don't like the glaring yellor, try changing if your display mode is set for high color. You can do this by right clicking on the desktop, the select display mode.

It must have something to with monitor or something, mine is not a glaring yellow, its a very sutle smooth mellow yellow, and I don't even like the color yellow but this color relaxes my eyes. They dont' feel nearly as tired, and I look at a computer screen all day long. It seems no matter what the color it depends on the monitor, settings, etc. that you have, maybe?

I like the color and it is really easy on the eyes! But every monitors color will be different for everyone. I have the high end video cards and the very high end monitors on my computers and the colors are always very vivid. This color is the most relaxing color to look at and my eyes do not get so fatigued.

I like the new color, the white hurt my eyes LOL

I like the new color as well. It almost looks like beige to me, not glaring at all. Maybe all our computers are configured differently! We seem to be seeing different effects.

i agree with Okie, mine is a mellow yellow and i like it! maybe it is something in Oklahoma?

The new forum works well for me. I know there is a member listing, was wondering if there is some way to put the user names in alpha? Or is it there and I am just not seeing it? With all of our members, sometimes I have a hard time finding the specific person I am looking for.

Mollie, you are not alone. I like the cream color. I wonder if it could be the individual computer screens. Like television, not everything is set the same.
With our numbers reaching close to 10,000 it will be hard to have something to please everybody, but like someone else said, this is a terrific group, and there is so much to share.
