Feedback on The Gauge's new look

[Nscalemodeler]

I've been reading and posting on the gauge for a little over 9 months. I have enjoyed the site a lot and have learned even more. Recently the site look and feel changed. I just wanted to provide some feedback on the change.

The colors of the background with the text seems harder to read now and also finding those items that are bold (new or recent posts) are also harder to see than they were before.

I work in the business of change and am used to pushing change, so I'm not bringing this forward because I'm resistant to change, but would like it if it were easier to see the great information posted on The Gauge.

Thank you,

I don't know what your screen looks like but the Gauge has had a blue background with white text since inception. I know there was an option to change the backround for a while but I never used it. I have always found the white text on the blue background easy to read. I have enjoyed the BIG BLUE for years now.

Really?! I liked the light background that was available as an option before (no offense to big blue fans!). Peter, who is working hard on tweaking our forum has said that it would take some effort and time to create the option again but maybe it is in the works as a future project (my thoughts not his).

How'd ya get that white screen Livesteam?

yeh LS HOW did you get that white screen? I prefer a white field and black text, it is easyer on my old head lamps, less strain on the retina`s, but I like the gauge so much that I will put up with the strain...have a good one..steve

Right now is it that way? That is strange if it is. Like Ralph says, Peter went back to the old blue background until all the new changes are implemented and deemed to be working, then he said he would add the white background option back. If Peter says it will happen, it will happen. :thumb::thumb:

Now, just out of curiosity, does anyone else have a white background here at the Gauge?

I like the white on blue -- I changed my options the last time to keep it.
The only problem I have is some text comes through in black or another colour that doesn't show up against the blue.
