Can we change the header colour (and size), the purple for user names is hard to make out and looks a bit trash. Someone else mentioned about halving the header size ... agree.

Am going to trial a few different colour schemes whilst so watch out.might give each one a run here for a day and see which one people like best

Today's colour is Blue Lagoon

It’s OK, but not as appealing as the one we’ve had up until now. What’s that one called?

The original is called Warm Sunset, there are about 18 preset schemes, and also the ability to customise my own. Needless to say some of the presets are awful, bright yellow for example i will never use, bright green, and red too.

Prefer today's colour but not overly fussed, any way you can make it half the size though, it seems a huge waste of space.

eesh, it's a no from me

Much prefer the one that was there before

I’m waiting for the blue and white hoops design.

I think we need a poll. Or a graph. Failing that, some tits will do.

what colours? Bored is still white for me (with light grey for quoted posts)

Either way, the white is fine. White Boreds Matter!

Top NPR banner has changed colour 3 times this morning. Back to normal (and best so far) at present.

Maybe better to post a link to the schemes (assuming there is one) and let people have a nosey.

This one is like a whore's lipstick.

It's the best of a pretty lame bunch. Matches my fringe

Sunset all day for me.

Entirely appropriate for us then!

We really need a logo to add some interest to the banner....maybe just some poles with a ball in it?

Ibiza, Aqua or Sahara. Titanium is like Torq, too dull.

Your packaging is meant to enhance your product: not serve to distract from it. Larey colour schemes don't work on forums.

Little Leaf, Sahara & warm sunset

This shows we're reaching no consensus on this!

Quite. I like the clean simple style of the current themes. If it’s too bright, type more words

Thanks on the advise on settings, will try it out.

Could we rename the Bear pit to ‘escaped goat’

Na. Not everything needs to be a callback to the mother ship. I like "The Bear Pit" as being a bit different. I'm guessing its a GOT reference?

You would guess wrong. It’s a reference to one of our early resident loonies, Coogee, and a typo of his that stuck I think. Other mentalness attributed to him was:
Making up he had died in a road accident and logging in as his partner to break the bad news
Being accused of being a peado because he kept going on about how big his daughters boobs were
Numerous anti Muslim posts about king hitting them
Saying he was in a made up pub waiting for a cabal

Am sure there was other weirdness from him that I’ve forgotten

In this case Bear Pit is more a metaphor for the bored which is defined as "an unusually aggressive political arena, in which direct, heated attacks are common" :-)

I know the loonies like Coogie, Dozy and Quent* were a royal PITA for the mods, but the bored was very entertaining when they were around.

*Honourable mentions to DAC, TMAB, Gort and MissI - sure there were more who lost the plot on occasion too.

My fave loon was Bill, who would have a row or word to say to anyone. His place was eventually taken by Bimboman who somehow never had quite the same penache or humour.

if you mouseover the dead horse.......i will say no more
