Blue or back to Black?

In response to comments re the original white text over black we're trialling white text over blue. It's been met with a mixed response, so here's your chance to vote on it. We'll extend the white over blue trial to the weekend. Give it some thought and then make your mark on the poll.

Thanks for your input.

Tim

Can I vote a second time?

I want to make sure my blue vote counted.


Vote blue you know you want to,

Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue

Blue is far better

Blue for me.......

White on Blue is much easier to read. The strong contrast of White on Black tires the eyes quite quickly.

It was black for me too. Close vote so far!!!!

Is it a coin toss in the event of a draw

10 votes each now

Yep even-stevens at the moment. To those of you who have pm'd me your vote, please make sure you've used the poll at the top of this thread. It's the only way I can tell if you've actually registered your opinion or not.

Further, should blue be the winner, then the black text boxes etc will fall into line with the rest of the look.

Fyi I did try black lettering on the blue background on a test forum and the text got lost in the blue so that's why it's not an option here. Very much appreciative of your input folks here - thank you.

Haha - I'm not voting Tilly - unless it really does come down to 50:50!

We could have another poll to see if you get the casting vote

Blue, I think.

Blue

We've had 65 members online since I launched the poll but only 23 votes so I'm hoping folk are mulling it over ......? We need as many votes - either way - as possible to get the right result.

Back to black for me!

I actually find the white on blue harder to read than the white on black. Saying that I wouldn't stop using the forum, just have to squint strangely at the screen!

I've dropped the levels of the blue down a tad giving the white a bit more prominence.

More votes please!!!

I like the blue best

I have enabled the option to cancel your vote - should you change your mind.

BLUE will be fine with me

I find the white on black easier to read as do most viewing on my mobile. but love the site and either is fine with me. Why don't you try white on Orange that would be great!

Just wait until kiteman gets on the controls Steve! He's already had his 'moderator' colour personalised.

I've changed my mind now! I'm liking the blue

I'm liking your new av too pastymaster! Have some marks.

With the New Blue ( the second toned down version) it is very readable now.
Pity because I had no problem reading with Tim's original White on Black which definitely was a more classy presentation.

I certainly agree that the black looked a lot classier.
