I like this much better than the skinny font.

Also, IMHO, the bright red of the menu bar (User CP, Register, FAQ...) and the page navigation is a little glaring in comparison to the other shades of burgundy on the screen. But I tend to prefer green or blue palettes in general, so I may just be resisting change.

lj: I think I can pull off adding a stealth version, now that I've pulled off this version. It's not just a matter of dumping a new template into the software, because we have a lot of customizations that have to carry over, you see. But, let me see what I can do for ya. I would do a lot.

Clod, I will tone that down. The original brighter red was actually closer to the original notion of the scheme, the inspiration for which is called "pixelpusher" here:

I can't create a color scheme myself yet, but I can choose one and roughly follow it. This is progress.

Rock on with the new fonts, thank you!! The other was making me feel older that I was... *squint*

Is there a quick way of doing a monochrome scheme?
Same here (always at the office when I'm here) and great idea.

FWI(my negligible )W: A "SFW" Cellar would kick so much ass, it would have to wear special ass-kicking boots.

P.S. I know that the new color scheme you did to match my signature colors the way it matched the other one also and I know that you love me so much because I love you so much and this is like a special message from you to me that you can't say out loud but that's okay because I understand and we can be together forever in my heart always.

I thought the skinny font was kind of cool, but taking it back to this retains the continuity to the old style.

I like the colors. Paging through that swatch book taught me that there are a lot of damn ugly colors schemes out there. I mean, I already knew from direct experience, but now I know where they get them.

For about 30 seconds about a minute ago ... was everything set for a serif font that was overly large?

I really like serif fonts, at least for reading hardcopy, they are much easier on the eyes.

But not times roman. I dislike times roman. I'm more of a palatino or garamond girl.

I am still undecided about this color scheme. I like the font in the reply box a lot... don't know what it is. It is fun to try out something new though. Thanks for all your hard work UT.

I do really like the new banner monkey though. Good looking out.

You can't ban me, only my best-friends-in-the-whole-world-forever-and-ever, wolf and Bruce can do that!
