New message board

Vida Blue · 04-02-2002, 05:34 PM

Just wanted to say that I am happy for Markus and his team and all the good news given to us BUT, this new board IMO is hard on the peepers. What was wrong with the previous board?

PadresFan · 04-02-2002, 05:37 PM

Agreed... Even for someone with good eyesight, the font is pretty small....

jor31 · 04-02-2002, 05:37 PM

Thirded! I dont like this new board, to small.....

CMH · 04-02-2002, 05:53 PM

you guys must be gettin old! i love this board! ahh 20 year old eyes, the joy...

c-man · 04-02-2002, 05:56 PM

I agree as well, it is a bit bright IMO...I keep wanting to grab my sunglasses...

Draft Dodger · 04-02-2002, 06:01 PM

my eyes hurt.

kingfc22 · 04-02-2002, 06:14 PM

I like the overall look of this new board, but I agree that the font needs to be just a couple sizes larger.

That´s when your 20 year old eyes can actually see a couple of feet forward

I just got back from the Bob Mould show, so my ears are all fuzzy. Now my eyes are struggling as well. Big fonts are cool.

Draft Dodger · 04-02-2002, 06:26 PM

my eyes still hurt.

CMH · 04-02-2002, 06:31 PM

DD, is that picture of Shakira a demonstration of her feelings toward this board??

I think it's an expression of her dismay in DD being married with a son.

Schmidty · 04-02-2002, 06:34 PM

Who's Shakira? Isn't she He-Man's girlfriend?

JML · 04-02-2002, 06:38 PM

I think she might be queen of the jungle.

LOL...
Shakira is a Latin turned English singer

She-Ra is the female He-Man.

Schmidty · 04-02-2002, 06:42 PM

Yeah, you're probably right. I was thinking of She-Ra. Silly me.

bigphesta · 04-02-2002, 06:47 PM

PLEASE PLEASE change the font and the colors back to the old board. My eyes hurt and there's a crazy shadow burned into the wall behind me from the ULTRA BRIGHT screen.

Need to get my sunglasses to look at the boards.

JML · 04-02-2002, 07:06 PM

The board also seems to be laoding A LOT slower. Maybe it's just a bad time, but it was slow at 5 today, and it's slow now at 11pm CST, not a notoriously busy time.

Just exhibiting grumpiness in the face of change.
