April 29, 20241 yr Author Liked all the changes so far but that blue is absolutely horrendous in my opinion very medical and dated. Not as easy to read anything on home page even with the latest post. And the 'Single' 'Artist' which is in use in dance forum incredibly jarring Happy to work on different, perhaps less vibrant gradient colours for the rest of the index at some point - remember it's just a trial. Haven't really mentioned the genre forum tags yet (will get round to it) but they're the best thing we have to an actual tagging system and worth giving a shot - it's part of a potential wider plan so hopefully you'll get used to them when they're being used widely across all four genre forums. I don't know what it is for mw eithee, but somerhing does look dated atm with the changes. Not sure what it is? Banner is srill excellent though The software the forum's using? :kink: It's always going to look dated and I think that's something to remember - I can only do so much to modernise the forum when we're using software that hasn't been updated in a LONG time.
April 29, 20241 yr Joseph its the text when you ate on the main index for example latest post in pop forum is difficult to read in the colour and size without zooming in! Great work anyway!
April 29, 20241 yr Just had a try with this briefly... Do we like? :o (obviously I'd look to change the other grey heading bar too) Looks promising, might brighten up the aesthetics for the summertime. I almost feel we could have a colour scheme per season of the year, so warmer hues of brown and red for Autumn for example, and greens and yellow for Spring.
April 29, 20241 yr It's also cool how the http://www.buzzjack.com homepage still has the old familiar logo and then when you click the links the new logo magically appears :magic: , please keep this unique feature for a while - the transformation between old and new logos! One bug bearer about that page… is the URL description of that page always just says "Jack" whenever it is open;
April 29, 20241 yr is the URL description of that page always just says "Jack" whenever it is open; omg I feel called out :o anyways like that the top looks cleaner now. I think the bar should take to one colour rather than gradient which would look a bit more pleasing to the eye
April 29, 20241 yr Author Wardy - the page title is "Buzz Jack" with a space there for some reason, it does have the Buzz part so not sure why it just says Jack for you! :lol: omg I feel called out :o anyways like that the top looks cleaner now. I think the bar should take to one colour rather than gradient which would look a bit more pleasing to the eye As in the subheading titles like in the screenshot? Happy to explore that! (not tonight as I'll fall down a rabbit hole and wonder why I'm tired tomorrow x)

April 29, 20241 yr Author Oh I mean the heading x Oh okay - I actually thought the single colour looked considerably worse...!
April 29, 20241 yr What does it look like if it fades towards the colour blue you have on the borders of the letters in the logo? I didn’t see it in place when it was one colour but I suspect I may prefer without gradient
April 29, 20241 yr I like the gradient! I wondered about a different (than the banner) colour scheme for the gradient of the headings. Still within the blue spectrum, but maybe a grey-ish blue similar to how it is already. In my mind that could look quite fresh but who knows if it would in reality. I love the banner by the way, that goes a very long way in freshening up. :wub: Sacrilege, but I've never really liked Lady BuzzJack - not iconic to me x - but how she's incorporated now does look soooo much better than the original black silhouette that was hanging out all alone on the right of the page lel :kink: P.S. Lady Tina >>>>>>>>> :teresa:
April 29, 20241 yr Author Will give that a try tomorrow! (@ both Jay and Dandy - happy to play with the gradient colours)
April 29, 20241 yr I think Jay and I are on similar lines tbh… even on lady Buzzjack whom I could take or leave. Definitely not on the similar lines with lady Tina though!!’
April 29, 20241 yr Lady BuzzJack is just misunderstood -_- We don't have enough ladies here as it is x
April 29, 20241 yr I think Jay and I are on similar lines tbh… even on lady Buzzjack whom I could take or leave. Definitely not on the similar lines with lady Tina though!!’ !! :kink: #bringbackladytina or as a compromise, introduce Lady Rachel
April 30, 20241 yr Author Had a play around with the blue gradient, is this better? :thinking: (might need a hard refresh to show if it's not automatically)
