New Look

I haven't been to VDr for over 10 days as I have been on holiday with no access to computer.

I got a bit of a shock when I hit my favourite link and the screen looked totally different.

However, I like it and the removal of ads on the right hand side is good. :)

One thing, I'm sure before I went on leave I was up to 997 posts, I posted a new thread in Win98 forum and it was number 991, not a major deal, maybe I frogot in those 10 days what I was up to.

Anyway, this is 992 and I think I might mkae 1000 before Christmas. :)

Cudos to the crew... was a seamless move. Was here for it and noticed a few odd things here and there... saw some post about the 'new look' that I couldn't read. Then a bit later 'the look' was there, very nicely done... write that upgrade plan down and send it to me! ;-)
Only 2 suggestions... that logo up top there... it's huge. The Virtual Dr. / Internet News / Search logo. And I'm runnin' 1280 x 1024 here. Downsize that puppy.
Color options would be nice... I'm o.k. with the blue, but many here would like the option I imagine.

When I was at work using IE5.0 the scroll bars were just grey so I didn't know what you were talking about but at home using IE5.5 they're blue.

Cool.

i loved the old colors ...

but who am i?

I like it, I like it!!!

My only criticism, too many forums.

I prefer the "Dark Ages"!:confused:

I most be getting old. I liked the old colors. The blue is bold though and you can't miss it, thats for certain. But then again, I still like the plain text style of forums. I like brillinat colors like beige and grey... I must be getting old

You kids with your flashy web pages...lol

Yeah, much better! And what a relief to be rid of those side-bar ads. Hardly a noticeable difference between IE and Opera6 too! Very professionally done.

It's all part of a conspiracy !

I was just saying to my wife the other day that computer manufacturers must be in cahoots as I was looking through a catalog and HP, Canon and Acer products, especially printers are now all in silvery grey and blue tones.

Miraculously they all suddenly changed to this combination around the same time :confused:

Then suddenly I log on to VDr and it's got a strong Blue theme with the other main colour being grey. Hmmmm.

I kinda liked the old colours as well, Plus i don't like the two big boxes on top of screen you log into. My 17 in trinitron monitor with settings at 1024 x 768 I now have to scroll down more than 50% just to get to first line to read. The BIG VIRTUAL DR Internet News box, and the box to the right of it Advertising has to go. It is too big and in the way.
I haven't really noticed a differance in pages comming up any faster..
just my two cents..

I'm in the process of writing a new Proxomitron filter to remove that large BLUE banner at the top of the page. It's irritating to have to scroll down on every page I look at.

Gone! Just the grey buttons at the top of the page. I LIKE the new look!
