There's no pleasing some people...

It's a tricky one, because I tried making some columns red and others blue, but it ended up looking like some kind of Fisher-Price toy... Which probably wouldn't have gone down very well either.

Hopefully the copious amounts of red on the rest of the site will warm you up again.

I did think the red would be toned down, rather than replaced with blue. But it solves the problem that existed before, I can once again read the topic titles without straining my eyes. Thankyou for doing it.

Toning down red usually turns it pink, which given the popularity of the former purple design (or lack of it), probably wouldn't have gone down too well. I think the blue works, though, and balances out the red on the rest of the site quite well.

Also, just in case anyone hadn't noticed, the Submit and Preview buttons have also been swapped.

right just for reference, there are now URL buttons and stuff like at TVF.

***YOU MUST*** press CTRL and F5 to reload the javascript page so you can use them otherwise none of them will work.

Fascinating how you've played with that when you still haven't sorted this URL problem of a white link on a white background:

start URL :-> http://www.planetcrossroads.co.uk <-- end URL

yeah well I can't be arsed with such minor problems. I'm currently setting the forum index page to get a new vile colour every day.

I'd say the URL being white was a rather crucial problem.

Thanks for that.

Maybe the {DEFAULT_URL} text could be changed to http:// ?

yeah I'll do that when I finish that template properly.

TVF seems to have something else in the database we don't have.

Are we ever going to have clickable links on the front page, or not ?
