    Let's be honest about the colors here

    When I showed my girlfriend this forum, she LOL'd a the color scheme and said they were too "spring-like".

    I took that as a compliment, as we're less than 3 weeks away from spring, so I consider myself ahead of my time.

    I even brushed off the accusation from lewfather that I'm a Canucks fan.

    But when HeroPokerCEO had the nerve to call this "one fucking ugly forum", I took pause.

    Perhaps it's time to change the colors around here.

    I will tell you that changing the colors on vBulletin is not a simple task, and believe it or not, I actually put a lot of effort last night into selecting this blue and purple masterpiece you see before you.

    But putting that aside, what colors would you like to see here? Which ones specifically would you like changed?

    Throw out your suggestions here.

    The whole site is pretty ugly but I have confidence that you will tune it up well. However its not bad for a guy thats been out of the tech world for a while.

    The colors are not to bad other then the blue and green and the yellow and black at top left dont mesh to well.

    Can I get My "ChipCollector" Title now or something fitting?

    Yes, PLEASE change the colors. I hesitated signing up just because of the color scheme.

    The blue links that direct you from place to place should be easier to see, black or white please. Avoid cyan on the main page, too bright (especially for a male member base). Maybe use blacks or greens, but keep some areas light. Don't over power it with the same shades, balance out the lights and darks.

    Just sayin..

    You could use a new logo too. This is a quick Photoshop I made. You can use it if you like it.

    I can't believe my choice of lime green at the bottom of each message almost kept the legendary BB92 off this site.


    Okay, so the green is apparently universally hated. Therefore, I will change it.

    People are also generally unhappy about the blue-on-blue links, so I will see what I can do about that, as well.

    BB92 is correct about the front page being too bright, so I will tone that down.

    Any specific color suggestions would be appreciated.

    LOL "legendary"

    It's not just the lime green hun, my favorite color is blue and yet it seems to bother me here. I'll get over it though. I suggest just playing around with the colors and see what is most pleasing to the eye.

    Does the thing you're using use html or css? Or what?

    The forum color scheme reminds me of the color scheme on Head & Shoulders bottles. Is that a coincidence or intentional?

    Go with black and yellow, always looks good and is the color of the logo. Plus the old UB colors are perfect for a site about poker fraud.

    Agree that the red wasn't good.

    What about the color scheme now? Any better?
