Only serves to make your opinion seem invalid.

Anyway, I'm not sure why in the world this thread was left open for so long since moderators were explicitly told to direct everyone to the official discussion where all questions were being answered.

But... since obviously they don't listen to me... I'll chime in.


I agree, the color scheme on the forum sucks. and Yes... we have some problems. We made a lot of upgrades, security patches, merged PM's, merged Ramblings, etc etc etc.

The frontpage www.acurazine.com looks great IMO. Lots of positive comments. But yes, it doesnt work for the forums.

I am progressing along on a refreshed theme, and it will be available later this week. There will be little (30 min maybe) to no downtime associated with this re-style.

So stick round for a few days, let me get something final in place, and then well gouge opinions.

For now though, I started out saying this design was in no way final. That message would have been broadcasted clearly had moderators directed you towards the appropriate spot. I apologize for that.


Honestly though, there is absolutely no need to be hostile. These types of comments make me want to shut this place down.

I am one person, with a very busy life. I cannot satisfy everyone. This website is provided free of charge as a hobby and for your enjoyment. I think from now on, the comments box will have a fee associated with it...

If you wish to make demands, you have to pay for that right first

Do the actual members have any say or vote towards site design?

Maybe we need a suggestion box.

Before anyone tells me to adjust the color,I will not adjust the color so that one website (which used to be attractive in white/blue/black) does not appear pink on my laptop, work pc, and home pc.

Please for the love of all that is sacred GET RID OF THIS COLOR SCHEME

we should have them turned back on this evening.

if the color looks Pink, it is a calibration problem with your monitor.

On a good monitor, the color scheme is a light tan, and sandy brown combination...no Pink whatsoever.

thanks.

Ramblings is now moved and consolidated under OFF TOPIC at the top of your screen.

By the time you read this, it will have been moved there, thus making it easy to find.

As to avatars? I'll have to look into it. I don't have a definitive answer for you as this is a work in progress. Be patient.

Posts: 796 REP Points Are Gone --- Avatars Too?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I uploaded / replaced my avatar this morning. Not only are all the avatars gone, but now versus this morning there's no place under my User CP/Account to specify one.

Are avatars going the way of Rep Points? If so, it corresponds with last week's death of the creator of mine, R.I.P. Franky Freas:
