New Forum Look for Fall!

[Janet H]

In the next few days you will see a new look for the board. We've had the same blue page for years and are long overdue for an update. Here's a preview:




The function and site features will remain the same. For those not ready to let go of the beloved blue you can still choose this option by scrolling to the bottom of the page and selecting the retiring blue view from the style chooser at the bottom left of the page.

The new view may be tweaked a bit but overall should be a nice change

No more blue crack?

I'm sad.


But I will get over it.


... already over it.

I like it, it looks fancy.

 

[cobl04]

Cool, I like change.

I hope you forum maker people make good money.

 

[prbiker15]

Looking forward to the new look.

 

[LadySpinHead]

Looks great!

You heal quick

You can still select the 'vintage' look with the style chooser at the bottom left of the page

I'm a fan ! Thanks.

 

[Hewson]

This is like waking up with a new woman after 15 years of marriage!

 

[Sicy]

Love the teal. SJ Sharks colors

After 16 years of the blue, this is too much to take. I just had a seizure in my office!

 

[TheGeekyU2Fan]

Whoa

 

[DaveC]

sorry, not a fan. it's too generic for me. the blue crack is part of what makes this place unique, IMO.

 

[Axver]

What. Yeah, let's not look like every other dying messageboard with a generic design.

Oh, I can still choose the old view?

Good as done!

Where exactly is this style chooser as I can't see it?
(Not that I'm offended by the new colour scheme, but the amateuristic background with all the album covers is too busy for my liking. I like to have a plain background on a forum.)

Edit: Ah, I found it. It's the unlabeled picklist that says 'U2 Interference'.

 

[rathergoblind]

Looks cool! For a second I thought I was on the wrong site or broke it as the change happened right when I was posting. It was blue when I was typing and green after I hit enter

I like everything but the background of album covers. I prefer to be a little more discreet when obsessively refreshing at work

If you narrow up your browser, the sides disappear

 

[U2Girl1978]

I guess we can call it Teal Crack now? I love the look!

 

[martha]

I like the old blue, but then I really don't like change at all. Anywhere, for anything.


Edit: As long as everything will still work on my old, un-updateable Mac, I'll be happy.

Exactly!


I love the album covers in the background.

 

[Oregoropa]

Sticking with blue crack for now. Thanks for keeping it as an option

I agree that the album covers are a little much, but I like the much more soothing color scheme.

 

[LemonMelon]

I found the light blue extremely soothing. Thankfully, I can still use it!

 

[MsPurrl]

I thought I was on the wrong page, too. I kinda like it!

 

[bono_212]

One solid bright color across the entire website was, for me, the opposite of soothing.

 

[BGD75]

Like it!

 

[cobl04]

This is the best thing that has happened to Interference since everyone changed their avatars to dogs.

 

[Axver]

What baffles me is that the new scheme doesn't retain the blue in some capacity. I get the desire to update, but removing the site's signature colour is tone deaf.
