I spy grey title bars *likes and exalts* Now it's just the blue wording at the top left and I say you've cracked it, missy - at least until you tire of the background and fancy changing it again Seriously though, well done <3

You like better now, hmmm? It's still a work in progress though. More changes to come. And yes, I will change the blue nav links. I'm pretty sure I know how to do that. The garden calls for now - lawn mowing (so boring, but has to be done) and a host of other pre winter jobs - but I am home alone tonight and that is when I get most work done as I can crank up the sounds, and know I won't be disturbed.

I really like the roses in the reply bar Mmm, now what do we do with the roses at the top? It's all green still and I'm thinking it clashes ... maybe we could put that band shot up there - the one that used to be by the reply bar?

cheers hun. As I said it's all still a work in progress. Changing the banner means quite a bit of work so I don't want to do it unless I am sure sbout what I am doing.
I like the roses in the quick reply box myself too, although I'm going to tweak it some more yet.
But yes, I think you're right the green at the top must go - the band one from the reply box before is green too, so no good. But maybe a still from the Home video, or the band against a white background, as it works quite well against the very busy background.
*thinks*

Thank you Robyn. much better than the photo that didn't fit properly.
Waffling here, but I've just realised the roses fit OK vertically - why could i never get the other pic too - I kept increasing its size to try and make it fit. Hmmmm. Mysterious.

Excuse double post. Finally *trumpet fanfare* I have worked out how to change the colour of the navigation links at the top left of the board. Simple when you know how Anyhow, from a comment Amy F made somewhere I gather this is particularly useful to those of you who access the forum from your mobiles. So what I need is feed back about how clear the links are now. Currently they are all white, which shows up well at least. But what abouyt the text size - would it help if I made it a bit bigger? The other thing I could do (which is standard web design good standards) is make them display as a different colour for each state ie plain link, previously visited, and hovered over before clicking. ATtm if you look the link is underlined in the hover state. Usual colours to use are blue, underlined, red or purple, but none of these colors are going to work that well here - so any suggestions please. I'll try and change the colour of the black text next to it as well, but I'm totally at a loss as how to do that right now. Jen x

Jen, you had better not get run over by a bus in the near future - we would be lost without you I do think the lettering could do with being a bit bigger anyway, irrespective of whether the forum is accessed via mobiles. I don't know what to suggest re the different colours: it seems that white is the only thing that's going to work against this background. But that's ok by me!

My grandmother died as the result of being run over by a bus (true) so the chance of such a cruel fate striking twice in the same family is slim I'm sure I'll make the lettering bigger, but then it may look odd for a while, cos I have no idea how to alter the black text yet, so that will still be its original size. I think stick to white as well, on reflection. Glad to be of use - I'll miss messing around like this when the new forum materialises.

Oh goodness - really?! Sorry to hear that..
Just dropping by to say love the roses in the reply box - but I don't know if its just me but the page numbers (as in when you hover over the page 7 of 7 as here) that let you change the page are white - in a white box! So I can only change the page to the last number - as I know its there!
But you are doing such a fab job with the forum Jen xx it looks fab!!

Oh goodness, I'm sorry *takes boot out of mouth* <3 Oh not at all, I never knew her and it's just become family legend really. Apparently she was totally eccentric, and given to wandering out into the traffic in Princes Street waving her walking stick and expecting it to stop to let her cross. One day, a bus driver didn't see her in time. Just dropping by to say love the roses in the reply box - but I don't know if its just me but the page numbers (as in when you hover over the page 7 of 7 as here) that let you change the page are white - in a white box! So I can only change the page to the last number - as I know its there! Well spotted - fix one thing, break another. Back to the drawing board I'll try and sort this out ASAP.
