How does everybody like the new look?

[Heyo]

I don't know if it's just my browser (Safari) but I'm finding the author of the post to which a responder is replying appears in such a light grey colour that it is almost invisible. For example in post140, @Saint Frankenstein is responding to whom? Well, I can just make it out if look really hard - it's @JustGeorge . But I very nearly can't see it at all.

Can this be darkened a bit to improve the colour contrast?

It's even worse when you try to select something in your post.

"Optimistic" can be used as an condescending remark but if I want to insult someone (and not get warned for misuse of the "funny" frub), I use "creative" when the context allows it.

I guess I was always genuine with it, so the fact that others weren't escaped me.

I was always genuine too.
But I figure everyone else is a snarky, cynical nihilist, so this doesn't surprise me.

Err...except you. You're good. And I'm not just saying that because of the disapproving look on your face. Promise.

Gah! Where is that creative frubal when I need it?

And that's not a look of disapproval. That's just my normal face.

I have trouble with that in the real world... people think I'm mad all the time. I used to be bothered by it, but I eventually learned it could be fun...

I can raise an eyebrow. Drives one of my daughter's crazy, because she can't do it.

I gave it an angry rating, mostly because I wanted to try it out.
That's seems like a dangerous rating for debate threads...lol

We call them "funerals" in this neck of the woods. And yes, they are among the most beloved and joyous parties.

We were thinking more along the lines of this:

Deathday Party

A Deathday Party was a celebration thrown by ghosts to commemorate the anniversary of their death.[1] What seemed to be a typical Deathday Party entailed a candlelit dinner of rancid, mouldy food, the smell of which would cause a normal living creature to gag. The reason for this was apparently...

If it stays that way.

At least until they start shotgunning and peppering ads all over the site.

It will be back to square one I think with all the freezing screens and throttling lag.

Volunteer to be a mod for a while, and you will get the premium membership with no ads while you are signed in, which will persist after you resign from being a mod.

The logo at the top of the webpage looks awful with the new colour scheme, it doesn't work, the site needs a new logo

Also, when I go to the main page it doesn't display the featured threads as it should, it gives an error message

I don't much like the new look

Also, I don't like the new smileys

I miss the featured threads as well, but as @Twilight Snowflake said it will be back so that is good.

I don't mind the logo, but I think it is taking to much space at the top, forcing the top grey bar to be larger than it has to be. I think it would be better to place it in the middle between the texts or simply make it slightly smaller.

Just got up. Checked RF. Oh it wasn't a bad dream then. Back to bed.

I think we should keep the angry rating. It could have legitimate use. We could police it like the funny rating.

Well, I hope my presence can at least assure you this isn't a simple bad dream, but a proper nightmare...

This is just begging to be a thread...

'Which RF posters have you dreamt about, and was it a nightmare...?'

I reckon @Heyo 's feet might get a vote...
*shrugs*

That could soon go off-piste. Especially if I posted in it.

Sounding more and more interesting to me!!

 

[danieldemol]

Can we get an estimated time frame for the new threads feature to be back online?

Would you like to skip the formalities and just ban me now?

Ahh i can see myself banned for replying with sarcasm and the anger frube to far right would be politicians
