Wab 2.0

Hi Everyone,

We've completed the bulk of the upgrade to vBulletin 4. More things need to be done along with a finalization of the design.

I hope everyone likes it and comments are very much welcome!

Looking good so far!

**gunnut** · 05 Aug 10,, 22:33

The colors...the colors...

Any way to make the default letter size a bit bigger and darker?

**Martin** · 05 Aug 10,, 22:34

What's wrong with the colours?! Maybe I'll regret saying comments are welcome :-P.

I'll have a play around with sizes and see what it looks like!

Nah...nothing is wrong with the colors. They're just...different.

The size and the color of the text could definitely use a boost. Personally, I think the font size is too small and the coloring too light, which strain my eyes. Or maybe I just need better glasses.

Okay, my first reaction was an impulse to stab things. Then I realized that it just wasn't loading properly. I still want to stab things, but much more gently. I don't suppose there's a keep it the same option for stick in the mud reactionaries? Also, what gunnut said.

I'm with gunnut, the text would be easier on the eyes if it were a bit darker and maybe one or two sizes larger.

And maybe a different default font?

Other than that, a bang up job, Martin!

Nope - vB4 was a complete rewrite basically so old templates do not work at all.

**ArmchairGeneral** · 05 Aug 10,, 23:21

Figgers. Ah well, I think I hated the last version at first too, probably I'll get used to it.

Fine by me.

Maybe it helps to be a young kid with fairly decent eyesight...

Draft 1 of the new header btw.

Do you happen to have experience with CSS?

Never trust a web developer to trouble shoot a network. Likewise never let an IT guy touch CSS!

It is fast and working fine, fonts and styling are great. The only reaction I am having is the contrast. The site feels pale with insufficient contrast. Maybe just need to get used to it.
