Aw, I liked the old colours a lot. It is far too dark and hard to read the text now...

I REALLY like the new forum layout! There are not many forums like it! It is extremely original and definitely portrays the Ola Schubert's style (ability to create mysterious moods/atmosphere, etc...)
I was wondering, Ola, do you know who Miyazaki Hayao is? To me, he's an absolute idol and I look up to all his animations. He's inspiration.

You are so conservative Esn Yes, I do agree about the reading part, it might be a little too dark, I will have to look into this, but right now I am going to sleep. But the mood of the forum does more refleft the project I think. Next time I will think of a brighter theme(:

Of course I know of Miyazaki, he has gotten well established here in Sweden, which is good as we only have american fastfood animations to look at(:

I REALLY like the new forum layout! There are not many forums like it! Actually, the previous forum layout was unique for me. I already visit two other forums which have similarly dark layouts ( stopmotionanimation.com and werehouse.net/forum ). I see where you're going with the layout now, now that the other graphics are added. It does look better. Although I'd prefer the background to be sepia rather than black, personally (which I assume would also fit, since the new image at the top is sepia & black) - I'm just not a fan of the whole text-on-dark-background thing... I think it's a bit hard on the eyes.

I will try out some brighter colours to see how they feel, later today

Hmm, I do think like the brown colour better than the black. It feels very tree-ish. Although it doesn't feel quite finished at the moment. Are my eyes deceiving me, or have you been making the brown brighter than it was initially? Perhaps one thing to try would be making the background and text two different shades of brown, like the blue/dark blue on the Brackenwood forum. Maybe light brown background and dark brown text, or dark brown background and light brown text.

I will leave it like this for a while, I don´t really have time right now to fiddle around with the forum I need to get going with the animations. What do you mean with "initially", do you mean the old forum colors?

I don't know... I have more trouble reading the text now then I had before with the black background. I don't mind it being this way, for the moment, as Ola has quite a lot of other things to work on. =]

Ok, ok, I give in. I wouldn't mind if it was black like before but please make the text a brighter colour than it was. My main complaint was that it was hard to read. Making the current background a darker brown would also do that. But yes, the animations are certainly more important.

I like this one also. =] But, I still opt for the black background. I agree with Esn about making the text a little brighter though (if the black background was to be used)!

I deleted around 10 posts by our new resident spam-bot, zi, who was spamming about World of Warcraft. I wonder how he got through? The account should be banned now, but it might come back if it's exploiting a weakness.

I really like the new headers and banners, very quaint and antique feeling. Some of the text is still too dark, like the list that shows your PM's and such, but I can fix that later if you wish. I'll just try to match it to the other stuff.
