Over the next few weeks, I’ll be working on the styling of the site. I will be working toward making it responsive to whatever kind and size device you have, instead of being locked into the 960 pixel wide layout it is now. The layout shouldnt change too much, but colors, buttons and menus will change some while I work through this.
I will try and do most of this either later at night, or early morning, to avoid annoying you guys.
If you will announce when you make changes, like on this thread, I’ll do my best to check it out with a number of devices… I have a number of tablets and phones in varying resolutions and different browsers, if that helps.
(I made my site responsive some time ago).
Also, can I again request you have https on the site to help secure our passwords?
Thanks, Greg

That’s in the works as of this morning. So Im just waiting for their turnaround.
Great, my browser just nags the crap out of me when I use a password on a site that is not https… I had to buy a certificate for my own site, but nowadays, they are way cheaper than the hundreds they used to be.

Sounds great Bob. So rather than bail on us entirely and close down, you are now willing to invest yet more $ and time to make this the all time best Large Scale site on the net. Thank You!

Good luck with that!
Bob Thanks again for all your hard work!
I’m putting up the new style for a couple of hours to work through some issues. I’ve kept most of the base colors, and added some cleaner styles to things like buttons and menus, plus made a few color tweaks.
Still in progress, but getting there.
Did You say a "LIKE " button ?
Another item just came up in the chat room. Apparently long time ago in a software far away, the chat room had a door open/close sound when someone entered/left the room. Would it be possible to re-institute that? For those of us who hang out in chat sometimes early or late from normal and say watch videos, the sound would enable us to know someone has dropped by.
Thanks Bob

Yep. Wasnt sure which to go with. This is the older forum yellow, before the last update. I can tone it down a bit.
I should have included the font and other coloration’s look great and easy on the eye. Thank you. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Bob,
It all looks great to me…the pale yellow background and the fonts. Easier to read for THIS old guy with one eye :).
Thanks again for what you are doing.
Bob, to enhance readability, can you leave the font black, not dark gray? On some machines and certain windows themes, the color can change to something harder to read.
Gray is harder to read than black. Now, it just may be my eyes but the current text on yellow is harder to read than where I am typing in the quick reply box.

Yeah that pale pink might tame 'em!(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
(well it seems that way to me)
Looks good the way it is now, Bob, with the pale yellow.

Funny you should say that: From Medical Daily - Color psychology:
So why do prisons and drunk tanks paint their walls pink? To keep prisoners docile and obedient. Research has even shown that people are weaker while looking at a pink hue. Following the perceivable success of U.S. prisons using pink rooms to calm inmates, other institutions have shopped around the idea of using pink walls in office break rooms, inside of ambulances, panic rooms, airport security, mental health facilities, and natural disaster relief posts.
OK BD it’s Saturday night.
Time to take a break and relax!
Thank you for the hard work !
LOVE the new color scheme…the switch to all white was tough on my eyes…this is soothing and very attractive. Thanks!
edit: p.s…Bob, I just noticed the caps and clean typeface in the headers, the selections, whatever you call them. Love them, too, much easier to read and make selections. Muy bueno.
