I can just about live with this green....just.

I am struggling to cope with the fact that the font colour for previous/next threads and the page numbers of threads are nearly impossible to see. i.e when you click ona thread, you can easily not be aware that there is another page to the thread?

I do like the layout for posts though

An improvement but a little bit more work needed IMO

LOL...loving the comments, particularly crizzy"s pic.  Great stuff.

Don"t worry, we can adjust the brightness of the background and all of the smaller problems will be ironed out.  The navigation will be sorted out also.  Naturally, the main site will be changing also and this whole process will take a little while but will give us a number of advantages going forward.

Nothing at all to do with commerating yesterday"s grand slam...

Of course it"s all being done to commemorate Ireland"s luckbox championship win....

Here is a preview of the APAT Media Site - which will almost certainly replace the APAT main site asap.  We will be taking the link down later this evening so any comments appreciated. 

Two things.  1) The audio files are not working at the moment.  2)  We are looking at strength of colours etc across that site and the forum.

just noted that the "next" button is not always white and can sometimes not always be seen very clearly.

(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc43/kinboshi/black-or-white.png)

Compare and contrast the use of white (previous and next) and black (Pages 1,2,3) for links on the green background.  White is much clearer.

For accessibility and usability reasons, links should ideally be the same colour across the site - or at least the same colour in posts, in menus, and in utility links like these.


+1 des, it is slightly inconsistent and the black page numbers make it impossible to see, particularly late at night with the brightness down a bit (so as not to wake the missus up :-) )
the green is also a little bright...

Post by: DJKebab on March 24, 2009, 17:24:07 PM
A slight aside, but may be worth noting that the forum does not currently render quite correctly when using IE8 native mode (which has just been released and will no doubt start being pushed via Automatic Updates soon). Switching into IE7 compatibility mode fixes things so not a big issue but just one to note.

Our designer should be back on the case this evening to make some further alterations to increase consistency with the new main site.  Page numbers included.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Dont forget us firefox users

The header needs some work

(http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww143/benway_photo/ff-header.png)

and the background blends from the dark green very quickly into black. Good
job the page numbers aren"t in black in firefox

One or two more text colour amends to be made in the Info Bar and this will be done in the next few days.  We will also look at the shade of green in the background.

Same in IE9, it just means that IE.x is looking at without "Compatibility View" turned on.

Click the "piece of paper" and it will be sorted.

Oh....and get a decent browser. Chrome or Firefox are SOOOO much better that Internet Exploder.

No links with Adwords here Suz, would suggest you run another virus scan, or try a different browser.
