Have the decorators been in?...

I like it... it's very...erm... Gothic.

Black is the new black...
Nice one.

(assuming that a white/red/black combo isn't an option)

Blimey, it's a bit blingy in here init, can't say that I approve so I won't.

What's the colour of the sky ? (on a clear day)

:(

looks li ke that was a smiley that doesn't show up! it was the sad one. seeing as we appear to be putting our opinions on here too - i hate it i;ll try the smiley again :(

Must admit this particular colour scheme isn't doing a lot for me. It is fun though, every time I log in the site looks completely different!

Hmmmm..... now very businesslike.
Simple. Uncomplicated. Easy to read. Clear. Uncontroversial. If possibly Dull.


But is it rock and roll?
This is a forum after all, not a knitting pattern forum (or am I dis-ing the cut-and-thrust of the world of knitting?)

All credit to Tel for his experimentation...start dabbling in design and the world becomes a critic. Just explain to the world that you're an artiste and that the world can just go and feck off. That's what I do when anyone questions my almost god-like design genius.

Oo-er.... seems to have changed again, even as I was rambling. Guess Tel is lurking somewhere in the machinery, adjusting things with the aid of a tin of paint, spanner and a large mallet.




On another note, according to my profile at the side there, I'm apparently a pig. Whilst this is no surprise to me, I wasn't aware that it was a characteristic generally acknowledged and advertised.

Thanks for your words of support with the arty farty bit, however I feel I must bow to my end user wishes.

Pig thing is your Chineese year of birth mate, me, I'm a Rat.

Blimey, I wasn't expecting that just yet to be honest.
When I logged out last night the forum had reverted almost to its beginnings & yes I have to eat some of my words as it was a touch bland after the rainbow blast of the last few days

This morning it looks like Tel has been very busy overnight again & the subtle changes are looking so much better IMO, Again its a simple case of each to thier own but I like the way its progressing now & I know Tel would like to hear what we think (good or bad)

p.s, Can the photo of the :yzf: on the home page be altered to the fastest colour ones please

You have been a busy boy Tel!

Been keeping a bit quiet on this lately, seeing what develops but I wasn't that fussed on the black background and large fonts. As of 08:20 this morning we are back to a white background with shades of blue which appears to be a refinement of the orginal look rather than a radical overhaul. I'm liking it like this Tel. Only thing is some of the icons to the left of each topic seem to overlay the text a bit which makes it difficult to read.

Yeah noticed the icon thingy.

Means we is restricted to icons (buttons) the same size as the boring originals. I'll have a search around, (and I'd appreciate if others did so too) for more attractive alternatives.
In the mean while I've restored the defaults.

PS: I'm somewhat taken aback by the lack of comment on the dropping of the infamous 80s cartoon logo.

I'm running for cover

OK.... if you're foolish enough to attempt to pander to the whims of the proletariat, rather than design by dictat, then...


...here's a vote for the retention of the cheesy Thundercat cartoon-stylee logo.

I'd also like the site to be in magnolia and taupe, some dado railing and wainscotting would be nice, and I'd like it all moving a couple of feet to the left please.

Eeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ............ NO !

Loving this scheme Tel, two thumbs up from me! :cheers:

Lovely jubbely Tel, much easier on these tired ol eyes

I like this one - i think i prefer the cheesy cartoon logo but i can live with this one - like the font size too all the letters are staying single instead of merging into a blur! No doubt amos will be pleased with the colour of the bikes!

....as i've just said elsewhere I like this colour scheme, easy to read!! I don't mind loosing the cartoon (should it be :yzf: ) and YES one of the bikes should be RED

I notice the bike on the right appears to be made by Ahamay. Is this a new Chinese import or something?

This is getting better all the time now, Strange thing is when I logged in at lunch time & earlier this evening all I got was a black background with presumably black text as it was invisible, Obviously hadnt happened to others as I could see new posts had been made but I just wasnt able to view them.
Perhaps its Tels way of telling me to be quiet

I've never been a fan of linking the cartoon logo to the bike as one is extremely serious & the other just a laugh for little boys


Still haven't worked out which way around it is yet though

..... I still have a 125 trials bike in the garage made by Dajiang (try getting that insured!!)

The DARK SIDE had nothing to do with me honest guv [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.].

To be honest the cartoon logo was only ever used out of lazyness. The new one is adapted from Thundercat boat racing.
I'm currently looking into (much to wifey's annoyance) doing a different headder bluecat :yzf: redcat. I'll keep you all posted (no pun intended).
