ray, i am not sure why it was so hard to read. the dark, or better mostly black background and the white font looked really cool but my eyes always got kind of freaked out after a while.

Certain colors combos "vibrate" and white on black does to some extent. There are some color combinations that actually seen to move they vibrate so much--pink on green comes to mind.

Hmm, maybe we'll wait a while on that video chatroom feature...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! ! !

Hopefully the search functions will work better. I think the look and format is fine. You do get used to a particular 'feel' to a family site/forum. Its all good in the long run.

Don't know if you are finished with the forum changes, but I miss the link that brought you back to the Bottlehead web site

I really liked the black with white text - I actually thought it was much easier to read than other forums.  I realize that this is still a work in progress!

Dan,

Looks good from my perspective.  Only real difference in terms of the navigation for me is that what used to be contained in table containers is now in headings, which are just as easy to navigate through quickly.  Actually, in terms of getting around, it now looks nearly identical to audiocircle, which I've been using for years and am very used to.

+1 - I also preferred white text on black background, but I can live with this.

+1 - I miss the link back to the Bottlehead main website, from which you could get to the products.

And one new issue: when the change to the new forum happened, I initially still had access to the links that showed new replies to my posts, and new posts since my last visit. Those now both seem to be missing.

Best regards,
Adam

At the top left when you log on it says Hello Adamct.  The links are still there just below the bolded text.

Well, it used to. Now it doesn't. To be clear, I neither see "Hello Adamct", nor do I see the links. This is true on multiple computers/devices. And it was working when the system was first upgraded, but now it isn't.

Best,
Adam

Nevermind! I figured it out. In the upper right hand corner there is a white arrow that is a bit hard to see. That apparently expands or shrinks the header. No idea how it got switched, but it was in the "shink header" position, so the "Hello adamct" and links were invisible. I switch it back, and now I can see them.

There is a very easy compromise: gray text on a gray background. Problem solved. :P

I have to concur.  I like this text scheme so much better than the old one.
