Changes to layout

[russellw]

Good evening

Some of you may notice some slight changes to the colour scheme. These have been introduced to provide more focus on the navigation bar links for the top menu (User CP/Gallery/Technical Resources etc) as well as the user tools so that they are easily identifiable.

Cheers

i like the old one better, the new ones look too big

[thefargo]

has the menu (user cp, gallery, members list etc) recently changed colour from white to yellow?
if it has let me say I think it looks much better this way. if it has always been that way...well I don't know

[dansedgli]

Nope its new. I got a flash of red before.

Things are slowly changing by the looks of things.

[Falcon_Phill]

it looks like crap.. i hope its just temporary.

[347_XR8]

I thought it was just me........Good to see it's not. Thought there was something funny about the Cougar i was drinking when it happened, lol

[russellw]

It isn't temporary although we may look at reducing the font a little. The idea is to highlight those areas that new users have experienced difficulty in finding. Being the recipient of the support email on the topic I can say that the inability to find those things generates about 65% of support requests.

As with anything, a little refinement takes time..

[wulos]

I believe it was done in order to make people aware of it's existance. There's been a lot of questions asked, that could simply have been answered if people knew that the index bars exists.

[Falcon_Phill]

Not trying to be annoying, but the color scheme is a bit off. Blue and white looks good, just as you can see on almost every other button / sponsor / ford logo on the site. The yellow looks wierd.

i think im going blind

if it helps why not use pics instead of bright yellow for the menu
like number plate for the background
or something relevent to title

also if it helps you could just tell people with an impairment to use the ctrl + + or - or ctrl + mouse scroll up or down

also to counter the other changes a colour which carries from the ff logo would be better - my opinion

size shouldnt be a prob since theres alot of photoshopers here and loading time could be reduced if those sponser logos where put say into a scrolling banner up top (save space on page)

Keep changing things so i dont get bored with the same

[galaxy xr8]

Come on it's just a colour,
It doesn't bother me one bit, it actually help's I think.

[russellw]

The font has been reduced slightly to bring it more into line with the others used.

I have had flashes of red a couple of times and knew it wasn't me, cos I haven't had anything to drink (as yet)...
But thought my monitor was dying :

Like any changes people, give it a chance and you will find you will be used to it in no time and actually liking it..

I don't see the big deal to be honest.. if it makes things easier for new members to find things then its a good thing..

Well done :Reverend:

[Ultimate]

Its good. Cant miss the buttons now. Good work russ

[TotalDriver]

That's heaps better, twas a bit too big before.

Keep up the good work guys.

Nothing wrong with a little "freshen up"!

Sort of like a Mini Face Lift ;)

[kyro_02]

at the moment it looks as if the border/colors of the top menu looks weird... is that how you changed it to look like that ?

[MotherNatureVer2]

Im liking it ........ a lot easier on these old eyes :P

[johnydep]

Looks good, makes everything easier to find for newcomers. Well done Russ

[chief]

Oh good. I started ringing round my friends to see if it was just me. The smaller font looks better. Stands out a lot easier now.

[ON_DUBS]

looks better now with the smaller font, the yellow stands out well, hopefully it helps

[blutura]

Geez, it can't be easy being a mod. You make one little change and all the whingers come out of the woodwork.

I like it, good move guys.

[davocol]

Looks great guys, keep up the good work and thanks for donating your time to do it.

[agony]

new layout looks good, bit of highlight never hurts.

[crannersEL]

When the layout colours were changing i wasn't sure if my screen was on the way out or i was dreaming, the new colours make it easier to move around and find particular sections. I'm sure we will all get use to the new look layout of FF.

Thumbs up from me, seems much easier to navigate the site.
Newbies will find this site more user friendly to use.

[Dazza TT]

A change is always good IMO! Looks the goods.

Looks great!

[The Dok]

Yep, love it, a bit of a freshen up is always nice! :
