I'm finding it a bit hard to read too.  Quite like the site though

We had a bit of an unexpected outage there.  It looks like there was a networking problem at our hoster - it doesn't look like it was a problem with our server or the upgrade.  I'm waiting for an explanation from the hoster.

We'll wait for a bit more feedback on the forum colours before changing anything.  We've tried to give the forum and web site a similar look and feel, using the grey/yellow/black colours.

does the text look better in bold

edit: I think so

[AdamM]

my initial thought was dark and gloomy but after only 30 secs I think I like the look BUT can we have yellow as the default text colour. black on grey is pretty hard on the eye

[Sparks]

Just had confirmation from our hoster that a networking switch that our server was attached to failed and was replaced.  It was just coincidence that this happened 30 minutes after we upgraded the site but did get us a little worried that we'd screwed something up.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, who's idea was the colour scheme?
Do you not think there was a reason most of us stuck with the default scheme?
This is horrid, we'll all go blind straining to read it.
Please give an option to change back.

I like it, sometimes change is for the better. Roll with it.

Well done, guys - thanks for all the hard work, blood,sweat and tears you've put in.

First thing i have done is change it back to SMF default, so i like the new site!

Shame about the banner adds....most of us reading the forum already know about the blonde poker room!

Yes, I prefer the colours from this morning, much better. Probably better for the eyes when you are tired late at night as well!
I must be honest and say I am not so keen on the main site. When the ideas were put forward a while ago, there were some awesome ones. This one, I am not so keen on. It looks a little "busy and cluttered" as so much is going on. There are a couple of places that could do with aligning at the top of the page as well. Being hyper criticial, although of course it is not a problem, I think the buttons at the top of the web page need sorting out as they do not look right although I understand that the intention was to try and make them all the same size.
Personally I would like to see links to items such as "Online Poker Room" and "tournament reports" rather than them being on the front page.
Now I feel pretty sure I will be criticised for saying so many "negative" cooments but, Tikay and I used to be very close friends (when he used to email me!) and that was based on honesty. Even when the very first site was launched all those moons ago, he asked for my opinion on it before it was released as he knew I would be honest. I will continue to be that.
Having said all of that, I still think this is a big improvemnt from the original so a big well done to all concerned.

Took me a while to work out what site I had stumbled onto. Then I saw my avatar, "who's that handsome devil", I thought to myself.  Oh, its me. I must be on Blonde...

I like it,  it may take awhile for my eyes to switch to the new colours. I am going to the optician soon anyway, so I should be sorted

dn't forget 'blonde2' as an alternate option in 'profile' 'look and layout preferences'
