Aim Hi · 12-09-2002, 07:33 PM

I also have to strain to read the print. It would be better if the background was'nt so dark....James

lx5091 · 12-09-2002, 07:45 PM

I never gave it any thought, but a freshening up couldn't hurt!

Fox Body · 12-09-2002, 08:07 PM

It's okay with me....

... and I don't see a change happening any time soon...

GREEN, some one don't like green? Man, whats wrong with green? I painted my car to match the site

Murdock · 12-09-2002, 08:48 PM

I come here for the people, not the scenery. I do wish it had the quik reply option though, like some of the other boards. That would save some time for use dial-up users.

I honestly think this site has LESS strain on your eyes than others. Most sites i go to are a bright background like white, or and off white with black script. This site has different grays, the green stands out, but doesnt blind you and everything is easy to find. Maybe you guys need a good monitor. Have you checked your refresh rate? at what resolution is your refresh rate? mine is at 1280x1024 at 85hz. Also turn down the contrast. If you have a crappy monitor, no matter were you go on the net, it will strain your eyes. As for colors, i hope Dan sticks with the grey background.

Ask PKRWUD about his monitors as well. I think the best so far for CRT monitors is Viewsonic.

Just thought i would share some info.

I agree ... i think this is one of the easier boards on the eyes !

DaTank · 12-10-2002, 12:58 AM

Yep,
I like the colors on this board. I agree, this board is a lot easier on the eyes than others I've been to.

Tony Frank · 12-10-2002, 02:29 AM

i agree, i like the colors here. some of the other boards i post on are harder to read.

keep it the same is my vote.

12-10-2002, 05:08 AM

I like the colors myself

PKRWUD · 12-10-2002, 06:34 AM

maybe I'm seeing a different site, but the pages I'm viewing have a gray background with white text. The links, however, are green. I find it almost too easy on the eyes.

Hmmmm

I was just going to say that, then noticed you had already. I have to agree with everyone else, this site is way too easy on the eyes. If I go from viewing this site them to go the corral or something, my eyes hurt there. Also what size is your monitor, maybe thats your problem????

MEDIK418 · 12-10-2002, 08:52 AM

I like green.

thiagoGT88 · 12-10-2002, 04:49 PM

the colors are fine with me

stang4to8 · 12-10-2002, 05:03 PM

what i meant was the board that the probl. are posted on! black background w/ green print strains eyes. i have a great monitor & have no probl anywhere else but on the probl. post boards like that one.

StangFlyer · 12-10-2002, 05:24 PM

stang4to8 - I still don't think I understand what you mean. What is "probl" stand for? Are you talking about the look and colors of the message board forums or something else on Mustang Works?

Regardless, I plan to redesign Mustang Works (and expand it) before spring next year. However, until this happens nothing will drastically change much - including colors.

stang4to8 · 12-10-2002, 05:42 PM

whats up man. i didnt mean to upset anyone, i just thought
i would throw that out there that the black & green message
board causes my eyes to bug out of my head. [ probl ] means problem abbreviated if that what u mean. this certainly doesnt stop me from reading here because i really like the forums & the info is priceless to me. didnt mean to upset or insult anyone.
thankyou
