The goat made a graphic for the forum.  Since purple, gold, and green are mardi gras colors I think I will make the forum match the graphic.

I am inclined to to make the blue a light purple and keep the white background.

Feel free to comment on the forum look and feel.

I like the graphic.  Nice work Goat.  Can't wait to see the look of the site after the color matching.

I've played a bit with the colors and images.  I don't know if I like the color sceme but its 'soft'.

I also came up with a custom hack to resist spambots.  It seems to be working.  Its been more than 24 hours since a new one has signed up.

The new logo looks great. Last night, I HATED the new color scheme. Now, it's starting to grow on me. I guess I just fear change.

Now see, I thought you were going to post:

"You can make the forum be any color scheme you want... and this is what you picked?"

Terrific graphic!  It will look great on a gaming con poster.    Wink

I like the new color scheme, too.  Normally, I think purple, green and gold are obnoxious colors when thrown together.  I guess that's because of having looked at them all my life.  Embarrassed  Here though, the yellow is soft enough that it works fine.  I can also swear that the purple titles are in K&B purple.  Smiley

Should I post a poll and get a count of how many people know what K&B purple is?


(Actually its Hammond High purple that I used.)

I was going to suggest changing the border colors to purple and keep the soft yellow, but I, like Humboldt, am getting used to it.

I tried to make the 3 colors inconspicuous...but, still themed to NOLA.  Hope everyone likes it.

OH...and Katz and Bestoff it is!!!

@ liam: What happened to the .ico graphic?  It was working earlier today, but seems to be gone now.

Oddly the icon works for me on my work laptop and not my home PC and both are running the same version of IE.

Also, at home Firefox is showing the icon.  So it might be some sort of caching issue.   If you look at the page source you should see the icon line in the header.  I used the die image to overwrite favicon.ico since that's the default.

I think the purple can be pulled a bit back, but I think it needs to be a little bit purple.

The purple background is too heavy.  Can you go back to a generic background?

I like the purple better than the black and I like the dark better then the lighter purple.

Maybe if I made the 'middle' color whiter...
