You need to use a customised default.css:

a { color: #3c7bbe; }
a:hover, a:active { color: #888; }
a:focus { outline: 1px dotted #ccc; }

maybe:

a { color: #458B00; }
a:hover, a:active { color: #888; }
a:focus { outline: 1px dotted #ccc; }

however there are a few more blue bits ๐Ÿ™‚

What happened to 'no replies since'? I used to rely on that.

I'm not a stick in the mud btw, I like change.. just looking at the ergonomics ๐Ÿ™‚

Suggestion - can external links open a new window? *really* annoying to visit a site, then search back through the history to find STW.

And yes, I know I could hold down CTRL (FF)

lol - I'm glad I reached here at 11:19, as you must have been very busy this morning judging by comments on here!!!!

I really like the new "fresh" look, and the blue is easy to read on my 13.5" widescreen.

Might have a bit more of a delve later and turn "on" the adverts, just to see what that looks like ๐Ÿ˜‰

[Edit] Ctrl F5 seemed to sort it.

You need to use a customised default.css:

The day I have to start producing my own customised style sheets to make a website usable is the day I stop bothering with the website entirely.

Just made the blue links slightly darker (all your monitors suck!) and there's no need for a custom stylesheet and I will decide where a window or tab opens. I won't have a website control me like that. ๐Ÿ™‚

Just spotted on the Forum Activity list:

No Replies since has disappeared

It now just shows the last posting time which may or may not be your own posting.

Yeah I said that too WCA ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh and the mouseover for recent poster has changed from a popup to a standard tooltip and backto a popup.

Tooltip was better since it doesn't appear immediately and annoy you when you are just moving your mouse around.

Yeah, what WCA says.

When I go to that page what I really want to know is, has anyone replied to any thread I've posted on since I last looked at it.

The "No replies since" at least let me see which ones I'd got the last word in ๐Ÿ™‚

([u]Ideally[/u] I'd like any threads that the current user has contributed to, to be gently highlighted on the main thread list and then maybe have a badge or extra highlighting if there have been new replies since he/she last read it - but I realise that is a logistical nightmare to code and manage)

Lol fixed while I was typing. Good work that's much better (though if I'm being picky, just blank or a little dash might be a bit more visually distinct)

There aren't any stripes in the forum post list, i.e. one post white, next grey. I'm sure they were there earlier.

Long links still appear to be overflowing into the right hand advert area. Or is it just me that is having that problem? Using chrome.

Have you ditched the ability to have some "About Me" text in our profiles?

How come but?

Waaaaay Heyyyy!

It works again! I haven't been able to view the forum on my lab computer* for months, but now it's working again! Oh Frabulous day. ๐Ÿ™‚

*Ahem...Firefox V2 running on a Win 98 (not even 2nd ed.) Pentium 3.

(Is the site running a bit slow for anyone else?) ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Graham you have to re-enter the details, select your profile and then click 'edit profile'.

I'm sure I looked there.
Has that just been added or am I going a bit mental?

I see the "multiple of 40" bug still lives on then.

(B&W photography thread. Currently on 240 posts, last reply by Charlie Mungus, but if you click on it you won't see his reply and it will remain hidden till someone else posts the 241st reply).

I see the blue has got a bit darker since this morning - easier to read, but still not sure it goes with the green at the top.

If you look at the front page, you've got dark green text on bright green background for the main menu, then dark blue text over light blue/grey for the content and forum. Doesn't look quite right to my eye.

Like lots of the other improvements tho'

I'm fixing the username issue now. It's because of the previous ability to have a display name different to your username. Obviously people abused that but there is still fallout from it.

So does our display name now have to be the same as the login name? All my posts seem to have been renamed!

http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/profile/rottenmac

I'm going to have to do a lot of scrolling to use this on the laptop which is a bit disappointing, especially when there seems to be so much wasted space at the top

That's right.

That's going to make some of the existing threads look a bit odd where people have referred to the display name in subsequent posts. Don't suppose it's possible to change your login name?

Looks pretty.

If I were to be really nit-picky I'd say that it'd be nicer if the MTB Mag of the Year badge and the STW Premier thingy in the top right (Only when logged out?) might be nicer if they were all in the same horizontal row as the singletrack logo top left.

But then I complain about all sites with inefficient vertical space usage, since they don't play so nicely with vertically challenged devices like netbooks.

(Chrome 5.0.375.55 unknown - not played with the site in ffx yet)

Oh now that's weird - edit failed (appeared successful, but had to manually re-navigate back to thread), tried again and edit appears as a new post.
