Richard:
The new images for the press releases make the text hard to read. The background colors change too much behind the white text, and black on darkish colors isn't very readable, especially for the ones where the text is directly over the darkest blue parts.

What is wrong with text links? It serves the same purpose without making the site really awkward looking. The blue does not match the rest of the color scheme very well IMO.

Did I miss something? Did you try out my background image? and Fyron didn't like it so now they are gone? Did anyone else see them in place? Or was it only up for a matter is minutes? But Really did I miss something? I know it's been about 3 hours since I last logged in here, but do things change that fast?

Richard I like how you have tightened up the press release section, I have no problems with this new format. FYI I'm viewing the forums at 1280x1024 and everything fits nicely on my screen. I think people will get used to it and eventually grow to like it. I remember this 'wave' of mixed feelings every time the forum underwent changes. In the end we all ended up liking the changes.

That said, why do I feel like I missed something? did someone get a screenshot? Or is Fyron seeing thing again?

Cheers!

David I don't believe your images were ever used.
