Speed and colour

Unread post by Silver_Shiney »

Is it me, or is the site getting slower? This new thread was quick enough to set up, but I've just posted replies to a few threads and it took quite a while for the message box to come up.

Also, could the fields where we type into be a different colour, please? I had to click a couple of times before I found where to type in the subject for this one.

Regardless, although having been here only two days, this site is far superior to the P&O Community area!

SS,

It is possible to completely change the look of the forum, and make it white background (different font and layout too).

Go to the wheel thingy (User Control Panel)
Then select "Board Preferences"
Then change "Board Style" from Artodia Black, to Prosilver (that's appropriate!!!)

I tried it for a while, but prefer this view.

I personally prefer the prosilver layout ... I find it much easier to read.
Although it is a pity they moved things around on the screen as opposed to just changing the style

I agree, Ken. Maybe David could have a look at this (hint hint??)

Adding another style is a major job at this stage and even then there would be someone complaing about it. Anyway this is only a temporary home

I know it is very low priority but, for those that may like them, can you maybe consider incorporating styles from the likes of

If someone can give me one, or at the most two, suggestions of the colour scheme that they would like as an option I will look into it - but it will not be anytime this week.

Temporary home? Surely not, sir! This is superior to P&O!
