I saw the thread of all those who did not like the look...who does like it? I for one think it looks refreshing and "happy" where the older blue one looked the same as many other forums. I'm glad there's a choice for us all!
Kaylinda, I like it a lot. My only complaint is the green colour. BLECH! I'm hoping to persuade Andy to use a different shade of blue as a contrast colour. The green just looks a bit too much like...well...baby stuff. *shudder*
Green is supposed to be calming to the eyes, that is why in some colour schemes, especially in the bedroom, it is suppose to calm you down so you can sleep.
I like green and blue, but then that is just me. And since I had not been here for quite sometime until of late, I really like the site's changes, especially the tomatoes with the chopping board.
There are shades of blue and green that are wonderful, but these aren't them. I do wish I liked the look because I know a lot of work went into it but the overall feel is Cartoon Wikipedia and that doesn't work for me.
