Robin Graves 6,054 Posted February 19, 2015 I asume you have all noticed something different with the site. I also asume you can still read this... I'm starting to fear i'll go snowblind from staring at the new layout to much. 5 minutes on a standard monitor and my eyes are starting to hurt! Wich sadist designed this anyway? Hyperbole aside, I'd actually report the designer to the admins. No site should make my eyes water after 5 minutes! If you agree with me, or you dislike both me AND the new design, Please send your feedback to FFG and ask them (politly that usaly works better) to either change it back or give us a button to change the theme. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to cry tears of blood. 1 SSB_Shadow reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megamen 332 Posted February 19, 2015 Well it may grow on me, but I immediately disliked how in your face it is. Immediate problems I couldn't even find my way to the armada forum from the main page. It is nearly impossible to navigate on my tablet. Looking at it again, I was not assaulted by massive pictures and text. Maybe it was only because of the first visit.

Zeoinx 1,153 Posted February 19, 2015 Why in the high hell did they need to change the forum layout, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with the old one! BRING IT BACK! FIRE THE NEW GUY! I refreshed my browser like 10 times thinking this was a bad glitch on the site or something like the page wasnt loading properly. WTF! 1 Robin Graves reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gadge 4,294 Posted February 19, 2015 yeah i cant say im mad on it, you can change to the old one apparently but i cant find the 'change theme' button. This certainly shouldnt be the default Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeoinx 1,153 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I couldnt find a theme button too, after refreshing a billion times thats the first thing I looked for lol (edit) Also, yea, reported to the webmaster.

Gadge 4,294 Posted February 19, 2015 I wonder if they have removed it to force you to use this. Daft if they have. I dont mind change when its needed but this is very user (un) friendly. 1 Robin Graves reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Graves 6,054 Posted February 19, 2015 I'm now actually wearing my sunglassess AT NIGHT! INDOORS! to look at this site... While this does make me look cool, I can't think of any other site that requires me to wear protection... I think the designer got that one song wrong. It's "future" not "site"!

I dont mind change when its needed but this is very user (un) friendly. Hey Gadge, aren't you on speaking terms with some of the admins? They can't be happy with this either, right? I mean having to read user posts all day on this layout;.. It's gotta be bad for their eyes aswell... Edited February 19, 2015 by Robin Graves Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, if they made the white a bit (a lot!) less bright and changed the contrast on those menus (http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/) I'd be happy. Can you read what's the 6th item without going over it with your mouse? 1 Gadge reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Black Man 215 Posted February 19, 2015 The design isn't the problem, the crazy white background is. It needs options for those that don't want to wear sunglasses while reading their site. It just screams institutional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Knight Leader 424 Posted February 20, 2015 This sais it all, doesn't it... No you should have used a pic from that one horror movie with Robin Williams were hes a stalker photo developer. He has a dream were hes in a pure white store and then red blood shoots out his head. Ive been gone working on Resident Evil HD remastred. Guess I should of stayed here to experience the true survival horror. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Graves 6,054 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Okay everybody relax! we got our theme button! I wonder at wich post they said" You know, we might need to chnage things back." Personally I like to think it was me posting all those "empty sockets" cards from the CoC LCG. Admin 1: "ack my eyes are starting to hurt..." Admin 2: "Waaah!" Admin 1: "What's the matter?" Admin 2: "That Robin guy keeps posting pics of "Empty Sockets" I hate that card!" Admin 1: "Okay we need to give them their old layout back!"

Gadge 4,294 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) yeah the site design isnt a problem, its the glaring white background. I sent Even some messages, he responded and made the changes the forum wanted that i voiced on behalf of those after asking peoples views.... i wouldnt say i had any influence, i think Evans just a decent guy who listens to the players ... not just me edit: and... relax.. Just found the change theme button... wow thats better. Edited February 20, 2015 by Gadge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you read what's the 6th item without going over it with your mouse? I can read everything very clearly. I am using an exceptional ips panel monitor at work, maybe the contrast is better? The white comes off amazing to me. I generally spend my days staring at an IDE with a black/dark background too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
