Did the appearance of the site change or is my computer freaking out?

LOLOLOL! No your computer isn't freaking out... I have been wanting to slim this forum down a wee bit and with a little help I think it just may work out. I would like to hear other thoughts if anyone cares to share...

Daylily dude made some changes to make it more compact and user friendly. What do you think?

I liked it just fine the way it was before! I had gotten very familiar with where things were etc. But it just changed so I might like this better? Don't know yet, it is to soon to tell.

I have been wanting to slim this forum down a wee bit ... Why? It seems a bit too pinched to me. I use a laptop when visiting here. If you go to 'Home', the 'Not' in 'Not just Tomatoes' has been almost totally cut off.

I see a wide space of light blue on either side of the Not Just Tomatoes Header as well as the page below that. Do you possibly have the resolution on your laptop screen set to more than 100%?
I could be wrong but I think that daylilydude, just cut down on the number of boards not the physical size of how the page is displayed. It looks the exact same to me, just with less categories to scroll through. I like it.

I had assumed when he said narrower, that meant physically rather than numbers of rooms.
Just out of curiosity, why is there so much blue on the sides instead of filling up the page more?
As for removing rooms, I hadn't noticed. There are so many.

I think that it looks kind of pretty but maybe it allows for additional buttons to be installed like the ones that this forum has on the left for links to social media sites or on the right to the arrow to take you to the top of the page. I think that other graphic images can also be added in those spaces if the forum wants them. You may not be seeing those if you have your resolution set higher.

I didn't notice much different, until I clicked on HOME, at which time I noticed the much fewer number of boards. I always come on recent threads, unless I'm posting a new thread. I like the fewer boards.

Last time I spent time here, I found it hard to read in general because of too high contrast which was not easy on the eyes. DLDude even made a custom skin for me. This time however, I'm not having any problems reading here at all.

I think the only thing that I would kind of like is if the jokes/games were all in on sub-forum so they were all together. Not really a big deal but I really got used to them all in one easy to find spot. BUT I can adapt.
Edit to say "Sub-Boards" not sub-forums!

I didn't notice any change because I have my bookmark set to go to directly to New Threads. I don't go to the home page very often, but fewer categories would be less daunting to scan through. I'm happy with however daylilydude want to arrange things.

It's been quite a while since I've been on here. I received the mass email today and decided to come back and visit. I'm glad I did. The place looks great.

Yep, I like it. I think too many forums gets daunting for people when trying to figure out where to post something. I'm usually resistant to change, but I think this is a good one.

I didn't notice any change because I have my bookmark set to go to directly to New Threads. I don't go to the home page very often, I always start at the Home page and then go to the boards with the "new" icon in front of them. I guess that I am nosey because on the Home Page you can see if there are any announcements at the top and at the bottom you can see who is online currently and also in the last 24 hours. I like to see who is visiting.

Oh, congrats brownrexx,- this was your 100th post!
I go directly to the recent posts too. But I'll check out the Homepage.
Thanks, DLDude for all the work you are doing.

I'm not gonna take all the credit for some of the changes... I ask brownrexx, for some help which she gladly gave and it seems to be working... so thank you young lady for the help! Now if anyone has any other suggestions... please post them!

All I did was to look at the forum with some fresh eyes and made a few suggestions for a redesign that daylilydude was already thinking about,. daylilydude , did all of the work. He works hard to keep this forum running well.
The knowledge and friendliness of the members here is what will keep new members coming back! It's a nice forum.

Did the font of the entire page just get bigger? All of a sudden it seems bigger than it did yesterday. Do I have any control over that or is it set by the forum?
I feel like I have to move back from my desk.

If you go to 'Home', the 'Not' in 'Not just Tomatoes' has been almost totally cut off. That's what I was seeing most of this year on desk top monitor. Only used about 50% of the screen and chopped off both sides. It was the same on two different browsers using the sites default settings. When mentioned, it was as if I must be seeing things or getting senile. This new theme is the first that there's been full view for a long time. Also no longer concerned what the home page format is now. Just click on Recent Threads and skip all of the time spent looking for something new. Martin The truth is more important than the facts.
