Color Combinations

Does anyone find the color combinations hard to read, or is it just my old eyes?

I think the powers that be need to lively up the color scheme.

What do you suggest?

light yellow text on green? Black on white?
Font size change?

I we get enough input, we could put up a poll. Monitors differ in quality and resolution so if we make change, I would really like it to be the right combo.

Thanks,

Font size looks decent, both on the forum posts and when you're typing replies. Just set the fonts to whatever they are on Chuck's forum.

As for colors, I don't have any particular ones in mind. Just do something lighter with whites, silver, navy, who knows - just so the font color can be black. But whatever you guys prefer.

Personally I think darker print on a lighter backgound is better, and maybe bigger font. What is the average age group who views? Maybe bigger is better! Most people start with reading glasses at approx. 40 years old. A poll sounds good. I love what I've learned so far, keep up the good work. Rick
PS I tried to send this via PM, but it stayed in my outbox???

It will stay in your outbox until I read it. And I read it....
Now you should find it in your sent box...I hope.

The PM stays in your Outbox until it is read by the recipient.

I was actually going to suggest a slightly smaller font. Is there a size between the forum font now and the size that you type in when you're writing a reply? Because right now, it seems like the posts are just too 'bulky' and hard to keep your place when reading, especially with some of Lynn's longer posts.

Also, is there a way to reduce the size of the 'box' to the left of each post that contains the username, location, etc? It looks about 3/4" wider than it needs to be and reducing it would help spread the post's text out a little more. If that makes sense.

The Outbox and Sent, just another AHA from TGM.

I think the colors and font sizes are fine. Will the dark background present a problem when diagrams are posted?

I find the Green backgrounds with white okay and it seems to stand out.

I am not fond of the color of the button (profile, etc) hard to read and too small for the older eye IMO.

For short write up's the yellow is okay but I wouldn't want to read long posts with yellow text.

JMO.

The colors are just fine. (Spoken by a dyed-in-the-wool Green Bay Packers fan!)

Great start to your website!

Colors are awesome!!! Masters Green and Gold. The best tourney IMHO. Please try to keep it. thx

I don't care if you print on a piece of birch bark with a feather dipped in eagle's blood. I'm just tickled pink to see this forum up and running!

Thanks-aye!

Welcome PD.

And Matt is a college guy so we have to make sure we don't come off too traditional...

enough!

I suppose the colors are fine. It's just a case of feeling like I'm in the Batcave here. Maybe a little brighter?

Comeone Matt...being a Cheesehead you should like the Green and Golf! Don't tell you've turned into a Marron and Golf Gopher!!!!

The black background has got to go! Dark text on a light background please.

My wife just bought a new Ford Explorer this same color of green. I think it looks great!

Master's Green! I like that. I like that alot.

I like the colours, I can read it better with the combination that we have now. But I have to remember that my eyes need adjusting when I go from here to other sites.

Ahhh...so perhaps the other guys have the hard to read pages and everyone is just used to it???

Just kidding of course!
