Yuk! What's up with the new forum?
« on: September 01, 2010, 04:00:15 PM »
I don't have anything against orange as a color, but it sure is hard to read for thread titles in the forum.  Is anyone else having problems reading it?  ???  ???

When I noticed it yesterday, it did take a bit to get used to because it was yellow (suppose my poor eyes don't help much), but if i'm not mistaken, there is an option to change the skin but I haven't seen it yet)

There's no skin to change as it's the forum I'm referring to — not avast AV. I've tried both FF and IE with same lousy viewing results.

As pk has suggested, Profile (icon at the top of this page) -> Look and Layout Preferences.

Thanks PK,

I looked everywhere (except in the right place  ::) ) of where to change this.  Looks much better now.  ;D

The default look of this forum is way too bright for me. I haven't been able to figure out how to change the look. The only visible profile tab is when I login. There isn't any look and layout option in my profile. Any help?

Apart from the 'in your face' first impression, I notice that some posts now don't wrap and cause a scroll bar to appear at the bottom and some posts are just oof-screen. Going to Classic Theme seems to have cured this and it's easier to read.

Yep, sigline correct.

I'm not going to SP-3 because it contains an update that caused BSOD a couple of years ago. I have a post-it-note on my desk lamp not to ever install that one.  It was KB916595.  Also, KB951748 caused conflict with ZA.  Sticking with SP-2.

Still using GE Force 7300, but with the VGA output (or is it RGB)?  The DVI output died while I was away on vacation.  Very strange.  PC was unplugged so I know it wasn't lightning.  Switching cable connections is a lot cheaper than researching and buying a new video card.  :o ::)

Thanks for the concern though.  ;D

I personally prefer the new look, it matches version 5 of avast.
