We wanted to get the site so it looks the same. Give it a little time to grow on you. Everyone said the same thing about the green color when we switched to that and the black design we tried as well.

Of course if it will get me a beta position with [B]War in the Pacific[/B] then I will happily say what a wonderful choice you have made ;).

Also, the light look keeps you awake late at nights, so be thankfull you don´t get tricked by the AI or your PBEM opponent just because you start to snooze ;).

Its a secret trick to get us to talk about something other than B-17s.

Ha! We are not easily fooled. Nice try though.

viewing colors? VIEWING COLORS? What colors? What viewing for that matter! Wait, I'm blind! I'm going to have to get an egghead friend to switch my IE to "AudioExplorer for the Blind".

Most "other" BB's or forums also have a plain white background....I like the old green and before that black backgrounds, because they made this site different (and easy on the eyes).

Just on a side note, we get a lot of positive feedback for the change. But just as allways the guys that don´t like it cry louder ;).

Status: offline 		I like it too - except for the little stripes running across the page. The color is fine, it's good for my old eyes - but those stripes remind me of girls who wear those thin stripes on their clothes which seem to make them vibrate as they walk. No, wait, they always vibrate when they walk, but this is different. Oh, well, I probably shouldn't be talking about THAT anyway.:rolleyes:

Status: offline 		Having been on this forum just a little over a year, I must admit I was confused with how the color of the forum didn't match the store. For over a year my brow has been furrowed, as I wondered, "How can this be? What is the mystery of the non-matching colors?" It really confused me, and kept me from enjoying the forum.

Now imagine, if you will, my delight and joy upon finding the new matching forum colors! The confusion is gone, everything is now so clear. And bright! So very bright! I will now be able to enjoy my forums and store experience, without that dreadful confusing color scheme that has plagued me and other newbies for so long!

It even looks like you've gone with the UV color scheme, instead of that drab olive look. My only complaint is that, because my wife and I have cats, she is frequently opening the door and letting bugs in the house. Before they would congregate around the flood lights in the kitchen, which didn't bother me too much. Now they are dive bombing my monitor! One good thing, though. I was playing UV so much, that I have barely been outside. And living in Portland, the summer is the only time you can get any kind of tan, and so one shouldn't miss the opportunity to get outside, unless pasty white is the color of choice. But now I am getting my tan, and don't have to leave my computer! Thanks, guys!

Ahhhh !!!! Someone who LIVES in PM ! Maybe you can take the time to let others know on this forum whom have been questioning the weather model in UV, just how fast things can indeed change.

I guess the fact that once I was preparing a trip to PM/Lae/Rabaul does not make me an expert of the weather...:(

I realized that seven days for a trip from the US West coast to Rabaul and back would leave one non-travel day...

Besides, my dad persuaded me to go back home instead for the week...

Made it to Cairns three years ago though... :) It was really windy and rained every once in a while.
