In the next couple of days I'll be attempting to implement some minor changes to the templates that drive the look of this community. As I am new at this some hiccups will inevitably occur (and some already have

)

Hoping this will not damage your user experience in any irreparable way,
I'll try my best to keep your frustration (not mine!!!

) to a minimum...

In short: sorry for the inconvenience and thanks in advance for understanding

I could use some user input right about now
But this only applies to the "subsilver2" style
This is the way our links are denoted at the moment...
Personally I find this almost indistinguishable from the normal text, making it not very obvious where one should click...
So I want to change the link color.
This would become the way our links are denoted, which by the way is rgb(255,64,64) or hex "#ff4040"
And while it obviously clashes with the rest of the color scheme (but that's the whole point), do you think this would work or could one of you artists (which I most definitively am not) come up with a reasonable alternative, that stands out while still fitting into the general color scheme of "subsilver2"?

Thanks in advance... :-bd

That red color buzzes when laid over the mid tone grey of the tables of the site. I'd say something more orangie or yellow.

Thanks, I was afraid of something like that...
Although, as a Dutchman, I tend to shy away from all things "orange"

Orange gets my vote. much easier on the eyes while still being of high contrast

Orange it is: :ymparty:

This link takes you nowhere...

Thanks guys...

Orange is great but your link to nowhere "new orange" looks blue to me

Hirazi Blue · **Posted:** 11 May 2010, 11:49

Huh? $:-\$
Could you please clarify?

Just for those who really, really did not notice: :-??

The story so far:

Code:

- new gallery
- orange links in "subsilver2"
- new "vim" tag, replacing the old "vimeo" tag
- disabled automatic link parsing

Any serious issues with "subsilver_black"?
I don't use it myself, so I need any input I can get... :ymhug:

I´m always on "subsilver"
To clarify the link was still displayed blue.

But now after I went to the board prefs switched to "black" and back to subsilver it shows now correct in orange.

So seems like a small update problem on my site.

was just funny seeing your post
"Orange it is:"
and underneath it a blue link

so i thought you may had the wrong color code
damn joke didn't work
