Keep prosilver as an option

Post by ThroughTheWell » Mon Feb 25, 2013 5:39 pm

Please keep prosilver as a board prefence option. I don't care what the default is, but after trying the weaponadventure gobins themed option for half a day, I found it distracting and cluttered. prosilver is what we had for the temp forum, it is clean, uncluttered, and I can easily see the contrast for the red star in threads that I've posted to. All I'm asking is that it be kept as an option, just in case so many other people are enamored of the new theme that you consider getting rid of it without warning. Thanks.

I supose if someon else like this they could post here too, so that I'm not a lone voice.
I survived the forum move 4 times... yeah, I feel old.

I do hope you keep the prosilver. I like the weapons and adventures, but I was used to the prosilver. It's like that really old comfy sweater that you pull out sometimes. It's nice.

Don't worry, we've always planned to keep prosilver around. I heard people saying that they wanted to keep the option of the prosilver theme available before we even brought the new forum up. Also, the new theme is far from finished, we just wanted to bring the permanent forum online sooner rather than later, so we got it going as soon as we had the basics cover. Over the coming weeks and possibly months you can expect to see the default theme evolve. If you have any suggestions or just general comments on it I would love to hear them!

Best,

Yeah, I'm in Prosilver because it's familiar from the XKCD forums. It's not great, but I found that the parchment-style color scheme (reminiscent of MythWeavers, which I also don't use much) was distracting and not conducive to communication.

My favorite forums are always black page / gray text / white links, but that's not something you see often.
