And in other news...the spell checker is fixed! Someone tell Cosi she can come back, now

Please Miss, weren't me Miss.....I never went away!  

Hi Lori, on behalf of those who were concerned about the lack of the spell checker, I thank you; my problem/moan/gripe was about something else    Appreciate you trying to sort out everything for us

I'm sure you're right...it's all running together about now...

Anyway, I'm doing what I can!

Now, if you could make the brightness a priority that would be ace.....

Lori I'm convinced Cosi means that the white background is too "bright" a lot here have mentioned it and yes me too, especially as on my devices the text against the white is pale grey which almost sinks into the white. I and I'm sure others here appreciate there must have been a lot of hard work behind the scenes in creating this new style but from what I've read in several threads the majority of members are having all kinds of different and personal problems as am I so the problems are not just related to the white background. We trust you and your team and hopefully all problems can be sorted out

Agrees on the vivid white background especially on my iPad 

OK, let me see if I can change it a teensy bit, and see if it helps.

OK, NOW what do you think?

Lori posted:

It's creamy coloured on my iPad. Somewhat easier on the eyes. Dame is the best one to ask when she comes on though because she is using a large screen

Yeah, I tried to keep it as close as I could to the colors originally picked (I didn't do this design, so I'm trying to honor it as best I can).

I notice very little improvement if I'm honest

Although I do appreciate the effort put into this site

I think the cream colour is much less harsh than the white. Thanks Lori.

Lori posted:

Much better Lori thanks 

For those on phones and tablets the scrolling posting and widget area is probably all they see and it's still white. . maybe put a lighter shade of the side colour down the middle too?  I did it for the Ship and it was less glarey

Yay that the spell check works now tho

It's a bit creamy on my tablet too!

too creamy? or just right creamy?

Sour cream-y 

I am partial to this combination. It's very easy on the eye.

So you want dark grey background and white text. 

Ummm....

It might be ok as a single small sentence, but would a whole field of posts be that easy on the eye?  Let's try it out, shall we? And remember, as quotes are nested the background colour will get darker and darker. We need more text here to give it a good try, so here's a bit of gobbledygook to fill thing out a bit more, and more, and more. and more! Are  you really sure you really would like this as the background colout to the WHOLE of the posting area??????.

I'm just watching a programme about 10CC featuring Lol Creme!

Yes, it's spot on, just a block of grey without the light bars between the sentences. But I forgot about the background changing as it's nesting, but that would only go dark so far before imploding and forming a red giant! 

Can I just say....I've got a pale green border that gets lighter down the page with white posting areas....it's fine with me

Lori, not a biggie, but just something I thought might have been sorted out by now 

Can you make it so that when you view PM's they all don't look as though they've been read please 

Like I say....I know you're busy at the moment but just whenever you have time please
