MountainMommy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 We are going to give this one a try and see if it fits for people as our "every day skin". Your comments are welcome! Link to comment
Becca_Anne Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 MM I love the Member Menu on the side and the green is really soothing. I like it! Link to comment
MountainMommy Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 It's not a perfect skin, I can see that already. But I'm pretty picky. Link to comment
michelle Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like the look and the member panel on the side is nice. It does force you to scroll to the right to see all the posts though (or is that just my screen???). I'm sure that can be adjusted in the CSS though. I like it. Link to comment
PureCajunSunshine Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 That's nice!!! It reads easy, not loud, dignified. It's almost as pretty as the gold/burgundy one! (I'm prejudiced...'tis my first love, see...) lololol Great side menu! That is really, really nice! Sometimes when the stuff is scattered across the top, it's easy for new posters or guests to miss or forget them! (I noticed the two buttons at the bottom of that sidebar menu reflects the 'top posters'. Sometimes all that shows is who can outtalk the rest with a zillion one-liners or other drive-by posts...Just curious, is there a feature that shows Top POSTS, or TOPICS, rather than posters? That might be helpful in a more relevant kind of way.) MountainMommy, I had posted the following bit in TurtleMama's 'no more pink' thread...reposting it here, in case you didn't see it, or the additional edits...just my two cents. Well how 'bout this for an idea that will make everyone happy??????? Keep the current burgundy/gold skin or any other 'easy-to-read-long-posts' skin that dignifies the entrance and the entire site...and at the same time have the funsies available in the skin selector's toggle button. That way, when in a Valentine pink mood, or in a Saint Paddy's green mood, or in a patriotic colors mood, all anyone has to do is toggle to it...no problem! Because most people don't know about the skin selector, or may not see a thread addressing it, they may not appreciate the forced distraction of the holiday eyeball bashes while trying to read about the serious business of surviving zombie attacks.

Ginger Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 My absolute favorite was the burgundy/gold accented skins. Thus one is functional and I could settle. Regardless of what is chosen, it won't stop me from visiting daily Thanks for all you do! (((((MountainMommy))))))) Link to comment
JCK88 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like this one a little better because it eliminates those awful flashing arrows on the left side of the burgundy screen--I had switched to plain blue because those things gave me intense headaches and were a horrid distraction. This screen is okay but you are forced to scroll at the bottom and it's a pain, too. I guess nothing is perfect. I think the toggle idea is great...it allows people to choose and shuts up the complainers, LOL Whatever you pick, I'll show up anyway! Link to comment
PureCajunSunshine Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ha ha ha ha!!! Everyone can see how old we are as our birthdays come due...looksee at the bottom of the main page... Whoa!!! There's gonna be some going on...and maybe even some Me? I don't care! I earned every lovely strand of silver I have. 'taint gray, no! Gray is for old dogs and men. Silver is for ladies.

Amishway Homesteaders Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 OK is this the one? Aplitex earth I toggled back to the blue as I just couldn't take the pink. and yes I have to also move the bar back and forth to read the posts, can it be fixed? LOVE the 'side bar' much earier to use. Link to comment
Motherhen Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like the sidebar too. Before it was too 'busy' and I am a 'newbie'. Doesn't take much for me to get confused! Ok...so some are saying that we can change the colour ourselves? I didn't care for the burgundy at all. I liked the pastel pink. To me, this taupe and the olive green esp. are too dreary. The taupe is easy on the eyes but I'm not a dull green person. Mint green would be ok. Sooo...what do I do to change colours? Link to comment
ScrubbieLady Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I can read this okay but and it is nice but I really liked the burgundy(one of my favorite colors). I like the member panel on the left but I also have to move my screen across to read and then back if I want to use some of the panel. Can the panel be set up to minimize when not in use like the panel I have for favorites in Vista? When I submitted this post, it ran me back to the left side of the screen. So does that mean when I click on a button the posts, it will do this? Link to comment
Vic303 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like it a lot! I prefer the sidebar menu and it does not seem as cluttered as the maroon skin was. If y'all decide against this one, please PM me what it was called so I can choose it for a personal skin. Thanks! Vic Link to comment
Terri in MI Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like this new one too. Link to comment
WormGuy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The color is fine with me, I would prefer the sidebar to be on the right so I don't have to scroll over like other have said. John Link to comment
serendipity Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like this color scheme better...it doesn't hurt my eyes like Judy said. The burgandy one gave me bad headaches too...this one is soothing and calmer. Thankfully. Link to comment

I too find this colour the easiest on my eyes, I hadn't realised i could change the colour myself, I must take a proper look round Link to comment
Snowmom Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I don't know about what others think, but, oldpine saw this and he agreed with me that it sort of looks drab compared to the pink or burgundy. If the green were brighter, maybe that would help, but then too, I am greened out. We have had so much green in our home I'm tired of it. So, you see, I am a vote with some who prefer the burgundy and gold. MM you just have to do what you think is best. Thank you so much for your hard work here. Link to comment

quiltys41 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 While this one is okay and I can live with it, my vote is for the burgandy. This one makes it so I am having to constantly scroll side to side on every line I choose to read. Q Link to comment

mommato3boys Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Love it!! Although I do like the burgandy and the sandstorm blue, the driftwood is pretty too. I will have to say I do not like the member menu on the side. I like the buttons across the top. I vote we keep all of them that way people can choose which one they want. I am much as I love the green (green is my favorite color) I will be using the sandstorm blue because the buttons are across the top that way I won't have to toggle back and forth to read the threads.
