I need some feedback from some opinionated people

[ptbyjason]

What do you guys think of the Online | Offline status I put on the board. If you like it, let me know. If you hate it, I want to know too. Give me some feedback.

[The Iron Game]

looks pretty cool but I voted for the third option

[Nathan]

I like it personally. I would leave it.

[Lush]

It's pretty cool. Didn't even notice it until you posted the question though...

[Slapshot1]

I like it I can see my buddy Lush is Online which is cool

[The original jason]

yep leave it in bro good idea

[CYCLEON]

yes but the yellow thing before that did teh same thing was just as good - also the neon yellow names have got to go. I know that they color coordinate well but they are darn hard to see - try a different color perhaps - while you are fiddling, some more smilees would be nice to express my full emotional range

[RON]

Like CYCLEON said the other was good..But I like this beter simply because it is more noticable. Also I agree with him about the yellow names. Its great that even though the board has a great new format, your still putting time into it trying to improve it still.

[Big Al]

Yep great but ditch the yellow!

Thanks for the feedback guys. So, is the blue and white ok instead? If you have another color idea let me know.
I know this all sounds pointless, but I am just trying to improve the look of the board a little bit.

[pureanger]

I give it a thumbs up

[CYCLEON]

blue is better for sure - why not put the blue cloud around it as well (like the yellow was) to make the white easier to see - last thing I need is more eye strain

[ptbyjason]

There is a blue cloud around the username now. I just toned it down to make it look more like an outline. Should the blue be larger around the username?

[pump man]

i like it .if you want to talk to someone you know if he is on or not.:

[CYCLEON]

yeah jason, lets try a larger cloud, see what it looks like - anything for us people who stare at a screen all day

[pureanger]

Try to tone the color down other than that I like it I like to see whos online/offline

[Mike]

I like the online/offline thing - hey cycleon - there is no way we could possible incorporate enough smileys to fully express your range of manic depressive emotional status...we'll give you as many as we can though - take it or leave it

As for the title thing - I am kind of getting a headache looking at everyone'e name glowing - we need to put a disclaimer on here in case we have any epileptic members LOL

[CYCLEON]

mike - u forgot my bone crushing uncontrolable rage, my twisted sneering one-eyebrow-up a la Mike myers smile, and lets not pass up my giddy delusional disassociated laughter

[ptbyjason]

Cyclone, I've tried the bigger cloud thing and it looked like shit. It is too much. I want to keep it kind of toned down.

pureanger, If the online/offline thing is too bright I can change them to a different color. Maybe a lighter green and red. I'll try it out.

Mike if you think the titles are bright now, you should have seen the original one I had with the bright orange glow. No one saw that one. I changed it to a calmer yellow and no one liked it. I couldn't see anything but dots for a while. I think light blue is about as tame as I can get.

Everybody's computer resolution is different so I guess it's affecting the way everyone likes/dislikes it. I'll keep adjusting and hopefully we can find some middle ground without making everyone blind.
