I added one more theme/style to the site tonight. You can try each of them by selecting them in the drop down menu at the bottom of the page at the left side.
to me the default and CHR look identical, I like the Velocity better makes the pictures stand out.
For me the Default style has a dark blue background at the top banner where the CHR Logo appears, but a white background on each post, making it quite bright in all light; CHR style has light blue background for both the top banner and around posts, making it a bit more soothing; and Velocity is very dark with black background at the top, and a carbon fiber gray/black around posts, giving lots of contrast. My first choice was CHR.Quote:

I like CHR, but Velocity is also cool. I could switch back and forth.
By the way Brent, thanks for listening to the feedback. I can tell you really want this site to be user friendly. That will keep the oldtimers happy, but allow you to keep up with the technology advances.
Sorry but I can't make this work,took me 10min. just to fine the site as none of my old bookmarks worked anymore and now i just wasted another 15min trying to use the site,i did fine ,the old way,now it's just a mess for me anyway,at 70 i'm not happy anymore with big moves in tech that don't make any sents when it seem it was working fine,like this set upthe young may find it EZ,i don't! So can no longer add to info here. Good by to all I guess. Thanks for the time i did have.
I like CHR the best.
My vote went to CHR.
Mike
default is too light and velocity is too busy.
As it stands I vote for CHR but I would like to see some other choices.
I like CHR, the black and orange is too much, but a darker blue would be nice!:D
I hadn't really thought about it much until Pat & Steve mentioned it, but I think they're both talking about the white "page" immediately behind/around the light blue boxes of each post in CHR. It doesn't "bother" me, but I do see that it's pretty bright, and that the overall page might "glare" to some eyes. That said, picking page colors by committee is going to be tough....
Roger that is it exactly. Too dark or light back grounds make viewing difficult. The old theme of a darker blue than this worked well on the eyes.
I vote velocity, Images are sharper.
I like velocity. But I like the ability to change it from one to the other from time to time, I don't see that option on other sites.

I guess, I'm "too old" to change, at 63.
I don't find any of the three formats easy to use, or read.
I find myself just not reading CHR anymore. It used to be my first place to check-in, when I had a free moment. It feels like I have lost a close friend.
Brent, I'm sorry.......I'm sure the new changes were intended to help out, or improve the system.
Brent, with the "NEW" site I like the "CHR" style. With that said I also liked the "OLD" site as well as I guess as some have alluded to, it was comfortable to use.
I do hope that some of our members that have had a hard time with the site will try again to use it, as with anything else, change takes some getting use to.

Took me a month,but now the site works again,thanks
Of the three, I like the CHR style best. I find Velocity too dark with too much contrast, Default has too little. It is easier to see which folders have new posts with the white "bubble".....the Default icons are much harder to read. It has taken a while to get used to the new format and, while I would prefer the old site, I realize that it is gone and I might as well get used to the newer version. Like Bat, I'm 70 and would have preferred not to change, but I like this site too much not to adapt.
One interesting thing is that when I accessed the site from IE i always got the default version whereas with Firefox I got the CHR version. Now I know why. It's great to have a choice.
I can't for the life of me remember what the old format looked like. I have the blissful memory of a gold fish.

duhhhhhh ----- I guess my age is showing Roger! And thanks for that tip. perley
Not a problem. I fought that box for a while, then discovered the control for it and it's not been back since!!!Quote:

yep--thanks roger
Got say the Velocity is a hit here, good contrast. One question are you planning to leave the drop down on the lower left so folks can have a choice?
