New black and blue look

Sorry to say but I liked the version we just had. So much cleaner looking and not a lot of colors to break it up and make it look messy. This forum looks "rice" now.

Re: New black and blue look sucks

I dont mind it at all, i think it looks fine. I kind of like the whole red/white/blue theme more like it is now.

Good taste. I just want to say again here as a reminder that the Original TGO Style is selectable once again, check the main page for information.

I like it. Change is good.
Looks pretty cool.

Also, any changes I see just means "someone" out there cares enough to try to make things better, which is always nice to see.

Re: New black and blue look

Is there a way to select the version we just had? (The red theme?)

The blue makes it hard for me to read. (not to diss anybody's work.. it looks good, it is just hard on my eyes for some reason)

At this time, we did not plan to continue with the "red theme", which was the prior theme from 2006 up until now.

You might give "TGO Classic" a try. You can do a quick preview by scrolling down to the bottom of the page, and on the left side, select TGO Classic from the menu. If TGO Classic works better, you can make it "persistent" by then doing the following:
  1. Click on the UserCP link
  2. Click on Edit Options link
  3. Under Miscellaneous Options, change Forum Skin to "TGO Classic"
  4. Click on Save Changes button

Re: New black and blue look

The colors are just a little bit strong for me, if they were a little less saturated it would be better. I'll probably get used to it though.

Re: New black and blue look

I wouldnt mind if they changed the color every other month or so. Like everyone else said. Change is good.

TGO classic works much better for me, thank you.
