Just a gentle suggestion.
 

I'm a newbie N800 owner who's just joined this forum. It's an incredibly useful forum for someone like me to get 'startup' info.

I have one comment though; the design of this site is like something out of the early 90s. Blue on black is very tiring to read.I bet most of you guys/gals feel a sense of relief when you navigate away to 'normal' white background websites. Am I right?

Also, what's with the IT background graphic almost masking the Forum Navigation icons? Why do that? I know it's supposed to look like N810, but it's really just a barrier to easy access to info.

I personally think you need to give the site a fresh, clean, bright, overhaul. I know there is a meme which dictates that hacker sites are generally black (or dark), but I think the the Internet Tablet scene is way past that.

One more thing, that bl**dy tribalfusion link that tries to load on every page is seriously slowing the site down. Sometimes it even causes pages to time out. That needs sorting soonest.

Anyway, the above is my personal observation seen through the eyes of a new visitor. I still think it's a great resource and look forward to asking all the usual noob questions - after thoroughly searching for an answer of course :-).

No, not particularly.

Switch to the Classic theme in the dropdown on the bottom left of any of the forums pages—problem solved.

I agreed with Alpha4 when I first began reading these pages and I was very relieved when I finally discovered the Classic Theme. While the black theme is very attractive, it is indeed difficult to read. It would be nice if it were easier for a newbie to "discover" the Classic Theme.

Yeah, listen to the General - he speaks the truth.

This forum layout is not particular annoying - its useable, I dunno if viewing on a nXXX screen is harder since the pixel density is doubled from my computer screen... but I don't really have any problems with this theme/layout

Re: Just a gentle suggestion.
 

Use Classic theme and the usercontent.css I posted here; much less wasted space, more finger friendly, and dodges some image-related breakage (and loads faster, too).

As for the color scheme... I guess we each have our own tastes, but I cannot understand why some people find blazing white easier on the eyes. Someday, I'm gonna rework that CSS to play nice with (and fix) one of the light-on-dark, as they are easier to read.

Thanks all. Found 'Classic' theme, much better now.

@Benson, I agree 'blazing white' is not easy on the eye. Neither is 'void black' (especially with the messy graphic background). Pale Duck Egg blue background and a clean look suits me fine.

THANK GOD FOR CLASSIC THEME! stil takes forever to load though.

and the seach bar is screwy. hit the seach button and then have to sroll down the page to find it. type one letter and it disappears completely.

Yep, the dropdown search box is broken on the NIT's browser (which is Acid2 compliant, btw). Use the "advanced" search on the tablet.
