  1. There are only two themes and they're both white on black/dark backgrounds. It makes all text double for me, very similar effect to the early days of the web when people liked to put green text on a red background, like this: I either use that plugin I mentioned a year ago which reverses all colors - but that screws up all images, doesn't do full pages if it's a long scroll, affects all of my browser windows not just the current one, etc., or I just copy what I want to read into a text editor. It's a pain, but really the only thing that allows me to read the content easily.
  2. I would also like to point out again that the white text on black/dark background is nearly impossible for many of us to read.
  3. There are a lot of changes to this site which I think are really bad, but the only one that has made it completely unusable for me are the colors. The white on black is the new 'popular' design on the web, but it's completely unreadable. Tired of waiting for the other theme to be enabled, I decided to try something else. I found a Firefox plugin which will invert colors. It's far from perfect. For instance when enabled, it affects all pages in all windows, not just the current one. Regardless, if others up here are struggling with the same readability issues and are running FF, try this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/invert-colors/?src=search
  4. Any idea when you might be able to enable that other theme? I miss using the site.
  5. Thanks. I appreciate the effort when you can get around to it.
  6. Hello, would you please add an option for a theme which has black text on white background. It's nearly impossible to read white on dark. I know it 's the 'new thing', but it's miserable to try to use. Thanks
  7. Very hot story - I've loved it for years. It's a very old post reposted from bugshare to this forum back in 2011. https://breeding.zone/topic/9571-biohazard-breeding-in-nyc/
  8. I don't blame you. UI design is difficult. Yeah, this isn't your fault. There's this resurgence in the idea that once-size-fits-all. It never worked well in the past, and it still doesn't. It's usually the desktop users who suffer most while the interface is 'dummbed-down' for the mobile users. Knowing now that's what you've done, you've actually done a far better job than most. So in spite of my not liking certain things about the redesign, I have to say good job. That's non-standard UI and it's not intuitive, however, now that I know how it works, it will come in handy. Thanks. I did some debugging and discovered what the issue is. It's not browser specific since it happens to me on Safari as well. The problem isn't because I have a small screen, it's because I have a larger screen and dont run things full screen, or even in large windows. I blew my browser to full-screen and discovered that you have another very large (2" tall) 3rd header that's hidden from me when I have my browser in my normal-size. Slowly rezise your browser, making it smaller until that header (the one with the juicy ass) disappears. Now, try to duplicate this behavior that three of us have reported up here. Open a page and slowly scroll down, and you should experience the issue. Personally, I think I'd rather have that keep happening than have that other huge header showing up on each page. Anyway, that's what I've found.
  9. OSX 10.9.4 FF 32 Same issues as I put in the previous thread which you closed, so I'll just copy/paste again here. It's your site so believe me or don't: This design is much less user-friendly. Everything takes up way too much space. (i.e. there's way too much empty space around all of the buttons, except for the 'like this' button. That's tight.) The pages are way too busy. Visted links don't exist any more, so it's far more difficult to tell at a glance what's already been viewed. When scrolling on a page, the header scrolls off, then as soon as it's off screen it POPS back on screen shoving everything down again. (This one is particularly annoying since this jump happens on every page when scrolling.) On profiles, all of the menu items on the left are 'greyed out' (light-grey text on a lighter background). I assumed this meant, as it usually does, that those are inactive links (that's what greyed out means), or at least that there's no content behind them. When I clicked on a few, I discovered I was wrong. I know IOS 7 likes flat everything, but it's ugly, esp on a non-handheld device (ie macbook). Buttons are better as buttons, but that's a subjective choice.
  10. I can't edit a previous post, so here are some more observations on the design. When scrolling on a page, the header scrolls off, then as soon as it's off screen it POPS back on screen shoving everything down again. On profiles, all of the menu items on the left are 'greyed out' (light-grey text on a lighter background). I assumed this meant, as it usually does, that those are inactive links (that's what greyed out means), or at least that there's no content behind them.
