We're playing with some colour changes and no - its not finished yet
Any comments welcome.....

Thanks very much to Jules....

You're most welcome

We do realize there are some strange issues with other browsers right now.....Sorry for any inconvenience and damage to your eyes B) this may cause It looks fine in IE...but with Mozilla, it's all...backwards

We're hoping Matt can use his special powers and fix that

A little different? It's all... pink and sherbet-like. Mmm... I haven't had sherbet in so long. You know, the kind where you got a stick to eat it off, and then you could eat the stick afterwards...

Ninja smilie!!

But... it doesn't look that bad. It kinda grows on you, sorta.

Hi Jules. I don't think I've met you before. *Shrug*

um. yeah, a little different. it looks pretty kool. but i think it could b better. keep playing around with it.

I must be honest and say that I do not like the new colour much at all.


If your trying to get the red that GKR uses then you may want the colour code of #DA1327 instead of #C70444

GKR Red is

R=218
G=19
B=39
S=214
H=250
L=119
HTML CODE #DA1327

Unless you go by the large GKR banner on the official website which is
R=255
G=0
B=0
S=255
H=255
L=218
HTML CODE #FF0000

Keep the changes coming and I am sure the feedback will keep coming also

lol - no - we're not trying for the gkr red, meant to be more of a burgundy...thanks - I have a code chart also

As I said its a work in progress - and we just stopped for lunch....
The "red" looks a little pinker than it should be on some browsers

Hmmm - is anyone else seeing the posts on a red background?
They were black on white this morning....

ewwwww - some of these schemes are gross.....sorry for those who lived thru them just now
Mind you if you've seen my fashion sense youd know I'm the last person who should be picking colours

Okies - thisll take some time....with work, home and all this karate doesnt leave much time for playing.....
What Id ask you guys is to tell us where it doesnt work....for instance I know that in the private message section you cant read the message titles. Also now we know the red looks pink on some browsers (not a good look) - if you can send that sort of stuff with any luck we can shortly get a scheme we all like.


Thanks for your patience

Reading this thread I see the post as


Pink/red/burgandy whatever colour background
Whitish/greish text
WINXP Pro- IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633

Reading this thread I see posts colour as

Background WHITE
Text Black

Win98SE
IE 5.00.2614.3500

Further to my previous posts

On WInXP with IE 6.blah blah blah (see previous post) the red looks pink

In win98se with IE 5 the red looks red

eeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk aaaaaaaaarrrrrgh I'VE GONE BLIND



Mick

I've never seen so much blah blah blah in my life. Well, it might not have been, but I skipped the stuff that looked like it.

Sherbet. Mmm.

FWIW...
I'm using Win2K....

with Mozilla Firebird I have posts on red/black text
With IE6 I have posts on white/black text (which was the intended result..and when you view code it says it should be white/black)

We'll get the kinks worked out Just be patient and have your sunglasses handy B)

reddy pink its awful

I think I've fixed the browser issues...if someone else will check this out for me....

I'm getting posts on white with black text on both IE6 and Mozilla Firebird

I've tweeked the red 'pinky' sherbert color Is that better?

Hi Brodius Nice to meet you.

Well it's not as pink as it was now. Looks better, yah.

mmmm bit better not so pink, it does grow on you though

The Go-Kan-Ryu looks good at the top. You should put the japanese kanji underneath it. Or not. Just an idea.

not to be a pain as it DOES look great...
and i DO know that it is still under construction...

...BUT....





the forum isn't centred properly. there is a scroll bar (only a little one) at the bottom of the screen...

i only mention it because it was mentioned about my wgv webpage that i created.

oh...
and the "close all tags" option has disappeared too

and so has my signature

The forum software isnt the final version that invision have released.
I've got that and will set it up when I get a chance.

Sorry about your sig shue

Thanks for the heads up about the other stuff.

I'm not sure what happened with the placement of the forums on the page..I didn't move anything....but I have an idea or 2 that I'll work on today (I'm home with a sick child).

As for the "close all tags" link...it's there...but because links are white...well it disapears into the background...I'll work on that too.

Susan, was your signature white as well?

Brodius, we'll see what Matt says about the japanese kanji. It may be over kill.

no it wasnt white...

BUT...
Matts sig is missing too and both of them were......links

which you just said are all white

so it IS there you just can't see it


and if you mouse over it, it goes grey


so does 'close all tags'


sorry...

blonde moment

I'll have to see if I can figure out some way to code it as....if link is on white background make link red

Thanks for the input everyone!!

hiya Jules

would you consider lightening the dark gray a little or change the text colour? I'm unable to read the black text - check out the 'last posts' area when replying to a thread to see what I mean, but its also visible (or not LOL) on the front forum page..btw, NO is an acceptable answer as always

Good morning Les,

The base colors are Matt's department...but I have lightened the text.

Is that better?

yes, thanks...service with a smile

oops - are they

Well after a few days Im not entirely sure it works....
the red just seems.....TOO much....
comments??

okeydokey....This is the first time I've viewed this site since the changes on a "regular monitor" (as opposed to an LCD) and at 800x600..... I'll play some more tonight...I've been gone from work for a few days and have little spare time

WOW!!!

Jules. Did you do this all by yourself?

It looks great.

Judging from the club banner at the top of the page could I assume that these are the clubs colours?

They look really good together.

I do think though, that the blue clashes badly and some new pictures and buttons will be needed.

Great job Jules.

yes - buttons are my responsibility.
I blame lack of time and extreme idlness

on to it

what? you have not finished the buttons yet Matt?

are you trying to convince us you have a life away from the PC :thumbwink:
