Would you like to see the NEW TCS?

I love the new look, and I'm sure I can easily adjust to the color change!!! But I was wondering about something. While I was looking at the new TCS, I noticed some of the forum names and some of the members names were in red type and some were in the usual color. What will this signify???

I like the new banner and design, but I'm not too sure about the bright colors. But I do think that after a few days my eyes will get used to it and adjust.

When is it going to be ready? I can't wait!

No flames please...but I don't care for the colors. After reading all the posts about it being bright, I was expecting more vibrant colors. Everything else is great!

I'm sure I'd get used to the colors after a while....it surely wouldn't keep me from coming here!LOL!

Great job Guys!

I like the colors we have now better but it's still not too bad- still the same people and info here so wont prevent me

It's Simple yet effective!

WTG Anne & Team!

I was looking and looking for the link to click to see the new site.....Well DUH!!!!!! Read Blondiecat you have to log out and then log back in. I have said it a thousand times before, They don't call me Blondiecat for nothing

I like the new look and the ease of moving around the new site.

I like the colors, especially the colorful tabs on the top. The only color I would like to see changed are the maroon/reddish blocks in the top area. Those are a little stronger than the rest of the page.
And one other thing...the words in those blocks (guidelines, team, options...), some are capitalized and some are not Sorry to be so nit-picky, things like that bug me

The logo and banner are awesome and I do like the peach and maroon in the rest of the pages

Way to go!
I can't wait till we get to use it all the time!!!

I am just absolutely in love with the new design and the colors! I am now viewing fulltime in the new design. Purr-fect compliment to my orange kitties!

Say Anne, when we launch the new design, we'll have to have the new smilies ready to go too!

I also like that as you have read a thread, its title grays out so you know you have been there. And when I came back to edit this post and clicked on "first unread" it really did go straight back to this post.

Wow really Deb?? No fair I want to see too LOL!!!!!!!!!

Is quick reply going to be an option?

I hope Quick Reply will be.

I have to say that I have been looking at the design now for about 2 days and at first I didn't like it, but it has grown on me. It is, as Deb said easier to see where you have been in the threads, and I like the fact that there is less clutter at the top as well. It is easy to see the other sections as nothing is really blending into my eye and looking the same. Paws up from me on this color scheme- it keeps me alert at all times.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! It's really helpful! Ginger, I really do need to fix the top buttons so they are either all capiltalized or all are not. I think I might tone down the maroon reds on all the buttons as well.

Quick reply will be an option as soon as Vbulletin 3 is released. Sorry, but they don't even know about our redesign unless some VB manager is a lurker here They are saying though that VB 3 will either be the next version after this one or the one after the next.

Deb - I was thinking the same thing about the smilies

Actually, what I need to sort out is how to present the sponsorship ads at the top of each forum page. I'm working on finding some clever way to seperate the forums so we can have unique sponsors for each forum. If this works the right way, then we might just be able to have that as well as several styles of the forums for users to choose from. That way you can each choose whether you want to view the forums as orange, greens or blues Again, this will only work if I get the hack thing sorted out - otherwise I will have to use the styles feature to get the different ads displayed properly.

The launch for the new design is September 1 - it could be a few days later than that. If all goes well, we should have the new cat pages ready by then as well so we really will have a total makeover for the site.

I love it! Four thumbs up from me.
