The shade of purple used looks out of place to me against the other colors. I like having the highlights, but not so much the current choice.

/sigh

No one can use rational thought anymore?

Uploading MP3's takes space. Space the forums don't have, or won't have when they get a lot. Also, hosting the mp3's on the server requires bandwidth used in streaming them. Bandwidth = money.

I think the touch of purple on brown looks quite sexy.

Hmm. I still think the classic YC colours should stay as at least an option.
yes pleeeease...the classic YC colors, to me, are like that comfy old chair, blanket, sweatshirt...whatever, I just feel at home with the classic colors. I neeeed them.

The font size seemed a bit small on Mike's examples.

I noted though that the local library were offering old microfiche readers. I'll need one to read the new forums!

A small subscription for MP3 space seems okay though I've got used to soundclick. I presume one could still link to such a site within a post.

I'm almost sure all that fontsize stuff can be adjusted isntantly by holding Ctrl, and moving the mouse scroll-wheel.
So it's not a problem with the forum, it's just Mike must have hawk-like eyes

I liked it, I think it is begining to look better. I liked that you put purple only to the icons.

I think it's better to use only one color apart from brown to make it consistent. And purple seemed to fit well.

have you tried to make the background of the posts white ? just the posts not the other bits.
If just the post backgrounds were white, it would look a little something like this, which I'm sure you'll agree isn't too snazzy. Or perhaps you meant whiter?

What shades might you suggest using instead then? Lighter ones? Darker ones? Bluer ones? Violeter ones?

Just like that old blanket of yours, the old YC skin is being whisked off, placed in a hot wash, sanitized, then returned to you smelling sweeter than ever. With blackcurrent flavoured buttons, no less.

The font probably looks small because of my resolution, which is likely larger than most other people's. Here's a like-for-like comparison of the current post row with the new post row:

So as you can see, the sizes are the same.

None of these screenshots are actual size by the way, as I'm having to downsize them by about 30% each time.
