A cat forum I was a member of had the option to change the forum's colors just for the member only. The member could adjust the color in the control panel. Perhaps the current blue one could continue to be an option with the addition of another coloring? Though I don't know how admin would go about doing that.

That would be an AWESOME!!!!! Come to think of it, I think I was a member of a forum that had that option as well.

(1) Actually the person I quoted and was replying specifically said lavender, is who! Several times and it was also seconded several times.

(2) I am pretty sure I did not say anything against YOUR suggestions or quote your post. Light avocado green is the color I chose for my living room.

(3) Oh, thank goodness. I did not know that had been decided or I would not have commented.

(4) Maybe there is a reason for that?

I am sure everyone has their favorite colors. I love a lot of color -- unless I am trying to read. I don't have anything against the idea of color but prefer neutral colors. Nothing wrong with a soothing green, yellow? Depends on the tone I guess. The point is -- I was replying specifically to one person's suggestions that the site be made lavender, with lots of graphics like the example she provided. I even quoted her so it would be obvious who the reply was meant for. If those particular suggestions came to pass, it would be a personal loss for me. Why jump on me when you say yourself you are not for lavender or cutesy graphics?

I am sure like most everything else here, a select few will really decide on what happens anyway. So, I was just exercising my sometimes futile right to express an opinion. I doubt many without a problem reading intensive sites realize the scope of the frustration.

A fun little suggestion is getting a little hostile. Why??

Did admin even comment here yet??

I apologize I know you were specifially commenting on lavender and I agree with you on this point. I hope I didnt offend you, I actually respected your opinion and was simply stating my opinion on some of the points you brought up. You didnt just comment on lavender alone, you made it sound like you were opposed to any possible change which is why I commented with the rest of my thoughts on what you said.
I was actually agreeing that I wouldnt want cutesy or anything busy. Just saying a subtle light background color would be fun and should have no negative effects. I think maybe you took my post the wrong way, I wasnt jumping on you.

[FlDebra]

Thank you Shana -- very gracious. You are right, I misunderstood.

I guess I did not state my case well. I did say I am not against all change -- in fact a soothing green sounds just as good as the blue. I am not for a lot of graphics. I am on broadband so it won't slow me down, but it will detract from content for me. But the small paw print silhouette type addition wouldn't be a problem. I think I just wigged out a little after looking at that pink site and realizing I would not be able to frequent a site like that.

Peace!

Well I like the green, but Lexie likes the yellow, doesn't really matter just as long as it is up and running....
I will go along with anything you guys decide on....

I hope as a member you will come back and join in the fun there too!! We do have a nice look! We'd love to see you post there too!!! It's a small forum but growing and getting better all the time. Would love to see you drop in!

[camly]

Oky ... i was bored and thought it would be fun to make an example of an option we could do ... and it may give pple a better idea and how easy it would be without changing too much.

The file is too big to put here ... so I put it in my photobucket ..

Website Mock-Up

again just something i did super quick .. and admin .. i borrowed the yt logo up top ..... if that is bad i'll just delete it .. sorry!!!

[Marcellacml]

I don't mind the color as long as I can read the threads and see the pictures.

[Breeze]

I like it the way it is.

[JiggityJig]

I don't mind color changes, but I hate patterns on websites. There's a reason that the best graphic designers tend not to use them.

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but the paw prints give me a headache. Just a personal preference. And hey, if something changed that made me spend LESS time at YT....I guess that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing!

[xtine]

I hope you all know that Maltesetalk.com is a sister site of YT, that's why it's the same template, just different colors.

it's owned/ran by the same admin as here.. just like 4WT..

.. i don't have any preference with changing/redecorating.. there are so many members here, it's hard to please everyone
