New Archive/Forum Themes - Beta?

[SLWalker]

I need one single beta tester for the new themes.  Someone who will give me feedback on what looks right, what looks bad, etc.  Preferably someone who can test them in both IE and Firefox.  First come, first served.

[Guest Guest]

Sure, I'll do it.

[SLWalker]

All right, let me see if I can get the graphics bashed out and give you access to it somehow.

Alright I can see the new background and it looks good! I'm viewing this with Mozilla Firefox and I don't see any glitches, and everything (locations of threads, profile, updates and so forth) is where it is supposed to be. As for the actual background, the colours do not interfere with looking at the text and the colour of the links is clearly visible. I can clearly read all the text and the background does not get in the way or make the text hard to read.

So this new look works when using Mozilla Firefox.

I'll now switch to Internet Explorer...

[Guest Guest]

I'm viewing this page, on Internet Explorer, and again no problems or glitches. There are no differences when using either Explorer or Firefox. So the background works.

Good job SLWalker!

p.s. Have I finished my responsibilities as beta-tester of this new background?

[SLWalker]

Not yet.  ::grins::  Go make a test post.  Poke buttons.  Make sure everything shows up where it should and doesn't spit out errors.

I found two issues while going through this site.

1. On my profile page, in that rectangular box which displays my info, it is coloured white/mauve just like the old background, colour scheme. This also applies for viewing other member's profiles (I'm not sure if this is part of the new colour scheme/background or not)

2. When looking at any forum (general chatter, fic talk and so forth) and looking at the page displaying the topics, there is that small box (area) for starting new topics/polls and that is in the old colour scheme. (I'm not sure if this is part of the new colour scheme/background or not)

I will be going over everything with explorer in four hours time (got to go skateboarding), right now I've covered everything with Firefox.

I can see the first one you mentioned, but not the second.

Steff, I sent a screenshot for the second.

MDg

[SLWalker]

It's showing up right on mine.  Let me see if I can't figure it out.

Showing up right for me in both browsers.  Did you guys try refreshing?  I just replaced those, seriously, maybe twenty minutes ago.

[MDGarcia]

There we go.  So, the only thing I have is the redirect graphics, and the smaller versions of the new/nonew gifs at the bottom of the main forum page.

MDg

[SLWalker]

The redirects are replaced, too.  I'll get the new/not new ones in a minute.

ETA: Done.

Any suggestions, etc. before we go and do a big reveal?

[MDGarcia]

Hehe, want to try the support site, too?   JK.

I think it looks good.  Want me to flip it over?

MDg

[SLWalker]

::grins::  Allow me.

[Guest Guest]

Am I done beta-ing?

[SLWalker]

Yup!

Glad I could help.
