Is there any chance that clicked links can be the colour of non clicked links and vise versa?

Just wondering.

Maybe something more like what you have in your sig, or an amber color?

And I've noticed that it's kinda hard to see/read anything written in black against that blue background.

By and large, I like it. Just needs some minor tweaking.

I'm... meh. I can understand the reasoning behind it, but I think the yellow is a bit harsh... mostly because it dosen't really look like gold. It looks like pee. A lighter version of the background color would work, or a revamping of the yellow bits to make them look more goldy (though don't ask me how to do it, I do no design), but, overall, I do not mind. It fits the new site.

I don't mind the change, but I could use some adjustment, like the Black text on the blue is hard to read.

now, I more than appreciate the work that went into it, it looks more polished in some areas, but overall, I feel that the old scheme was well, just a lot better, for one it was a lot darker overall

remember drys, we're a majority of geeks who flee from sunlight at any possibility, bright yellow is perhaps a bad choice in a color to put anywhere but very small letters.

I'm also noticing some change in the buttons, to a kinda less unique look, I don't like that, as I recall the post reply button had its own matching text

no this is not an initial reluctance to change, I really say I'd be happier with the old theme, OR, if it is within thy power, give us the option of new or old scheme, and then make all newcomers and viewers see the current one!

so to summ it up

the hard work: appreciated
the color scheme: obviously worked on, but perhaps to no avail
the request: allow us to have our scheme back, giving an even greater
sense of special fuzzies at being older members!

Unpleasant.

Blues may be okay.. background far too bright, links need serious work. Not likely to grow on me.

However, the main page kicks arse.

Reminds me of the Union colors at a Civil War re-enactment.

I voted 3, though. I've seen the colors change before...I can see why you did it. I think most people don't like it because it's different from what they knew (it happens), but I could be wrong.

I liked the sedate colors of the old board scheme...they kinda flowed together. Blue and Gold look good together (my high school colors), but the gold bars are...eh...

The colour combinations clash more than I'd like them to. Part of this is probably my staring at this screen doing work for the last... entire night. But still, it's a bit glaring on one's eyes.

I like it better than the old one, especially the backgrounds.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
