Looks great from Firefox, but I am usually on my OS4 machine, which doesn't yet have a decent browser. I'll stick with the classic look for now.

But hey, it's an option, so everyone gets to choose their own way to go.

I really like the "Buy a Beer" option, there's a few people here that I'd really like to show a bit of thanks to. Then again, how about a "throw a beer at" button for some of the other people?  :o

As far as Thorsten taking all the credit, I am AMAZED at what has been accomplished here. Yes, it's a team effort, community powered and all that, but keeping a community of this size "managed" is not easy at all. He has done very well, and chosen his team well also.

But that's enough for now, I'll save my praise until I can afford to buy him a beer.

Is that because of the locust swarms over Australia?

LOL! Damned bugs! Help us, bugfight wan kenobi, you're our only hope!

PS: Love the new avatar dude!

Very nice layout but i don't know why, i can't read RED letters on black background, my eyes are dying i know.

[stryd_one]

You should see an optometrist - red on black is fairly high contrast, so you should be able to see it fairly well. Even red/green 'colourblindness' shouldn't do that...

[Twin-X]

I would like to see, that everybody who respects the community would use this name for his developments.

Anyone got an idea to get rid of the perfume maker?

Leave it out completely or should i put in some text like: "not by bluelantern" , "for instrumental geeks" or "designed by you"

Gimme some inspiriation here :D

[stryd_one]

I rather like the idea of a slogan there...... I don't have any ideas yet though :(

[nILS]

midibox - we're the good guys

midibox - preparing for world domination

midibox - solder, upload, dominate

;D

Or to pick up on TK's slogan:

midibox - where MIDI Hardware Geeks gather

[cimo]

.. isn t a smd component a bit n00b frightening ? Not that i really care about logos and likesuhas ...

[lylehaze]

I always liked the Headline at Jeff Glatts site:

"MIDI is the language of the Gods"

Does sound a bit ominous. Might scare away the newbies.

Perhaps some reference to the DIY nature of this group would be useful, since that is the point of a frequently repeated discussion.

Or we can help to support the ISP costs by selling perfume!

maybe " we got G.A.S. for everyone"  would hit the point  8)

hmmm...has anyone noticed that "unread posts since last visit" is missing?

or am i struck with blindness?

[DrBunsen]

As far as the tag goes;  take everyone's suggestions and make them pop up at random on page loads.  I like "made by you" myself.

I'm sticking to the old layout myself.  One of the things I've always liked about this forum is that it's not over-run with graphical bling.  Just the facts, ma'am

[Goblinz]

I've changed back for the time being. The old brighter forum is much easer to use, easier to spot un-read posts and easier to find.

I don't want it to appear like I'm moaning, just giving the reasons. I do like the nice dark look of the new theme, but practicality has to come first some times.

Are any more themes going to be added in the future?

[bugfight]

midibox - You are in a twisty maze of passages, all alike

I think so yes!

[bugfight]

[Flexinoodle]

Slick as f**k

Lovin the new look

[tongenerator]

i also like this layout...

actually it looks great

but for some reason, because of the coulors i get a little irritated when reading long text

so i might keep the old one

[/tilted/]

I likey very much.

Thanks Twinny.

Much better for reading in the dark.

[stryd_one]

Much better for reading in the dark.

You too huh!

To pick up the slogan discussion:

welcome to real MIDI.

:)

[stryd_one]

Good one, but future midibox may not begin and end with midi ;)

[Twin-X]

Well because we got some old "Folk" here that refuse to buy some optics for better reading  :D

I have added a theme for the blind ones! It did not come in braille but i adjusted it to mega.

Still some work though as i have to add the chat link and ucapps link.

Any way clikky here for tha i cannot read normal letters theme ;)
