Argh, it looks horrible!

Too much blue! Make it DIE!!! =(

This is what it'll look like when the world ends.

it was the election thread wasnt it?

good to see you back, btw.

Yep, mine changed. Thought it was my puter screwing up.

Yah and ugly doesn't even cover how it looks.

I quite like it.

Nice and slimline.

oh no its CHANGE

i cant deal with it!

you can't expect us spoiled brats to deal with cornflower blue text! it's cruel and unusual punishment!

The blue is nice, but the forum text really hurts my eyes. It seems blurry.
Fortunately browsers should be able to overwrite font settings.

*is going to check that now*

I like the smallness part, but the light blue part is sick, just sick.

Very "nice", now I can't tell updated topics from old ones, as all are in the same font.

it was the election thread wasnt it?

good to see you back, btw.

nah, it was the Happiness one. I haven't posted to the election thread in a couple of hours.. will probably soon but some important stuff got left out of whatshisname's reply and I'm kind of miffed about it :headbang:

Meh. It makes links more visible.

And anyhoo, it's not a if you can't change the whole make-up of the page, if you wanted to.

I like the new look.

oh you thought i was being sarcastic. no really I CANT HANDLE IT!

i kinda like the font, and i like that its smaller so that the thread titles + pages dont go more than one line. i think i can learn to live with the blue (but i dont believe that it will persist so that makes it easier)

what i really hate is that they have mandated a window size (this happened some time in the past) so i dont get to decide how much of the screen it takes up.

Meh. It makes links more visible.

And anyhoo, it's not a if you can't change the whole make-up of the page, if you wanted to.

But that means I'll actually have to do something besides whine and complain.

Also, it means I'll have to like stop whining and complaining and acting like a little bitch.

you can't expect us spoiled brats to deal with cornflower blue text! it's cruel and unusual punishment!Oh, I can deal with it, but by God, I will do my damnedest to complain about this!

oh no its CHANGE

i cant deal with it!
I know!

It's too small and looks cheap and I hate it and it's CHANGE. *dies*

I'm not totally immersed in the forums as many people are, so I don't notice anything different. XD; But just looking at it, I think it's rather pretty. XP

yeah... i don't like it. its all small and squinty.... and blue...

*runs home crying*

I actually thought the thread I was posting in got moved to the spam forum. :eek:
That, too.

i love it, everything was so dour and glum before, and cornflower is very "July in prague", charming.

nah, it was the Happiness one. I haven't posted to the election thread in a couple of hours.. will probably soon but some important stuff got left out of whatshisname's reply and I'm kind of miffed about it :headbang:

that thread needed a bit of serious input. its a quagmire of "you suck" "no YOU suck" posts.

This is Bad And Wrong :(

Eeeewwwww!!!!! It's N@sty!!!!!!

Blech. I don't like the new font change. It's so... So...


Blue.

Too small.

Addendum: Whoever thought this was a good idea is an idiot. The font size is too small for this type of font and it makes it hard on the eyes to read.

one of my eyes has gotten all sore and now NS does this to me...

it burns!

This bullshit is raping my eyes, and it ruined my sig. Why did they have to fuck with the NS skin?

Fuck change, go away.

Too small.
That's what yer mam said... oh... wait...

all change is always good, even if it is ugly and obnoxious.

damn conservatives...

This bullshit is raping my eyes, and it ruined my sig. Why did they have to fuck with the NS skin?

Fuck change, go away.
Ouch....

Yup, I see the changes. Ew. My eyes hurt. I wantz teh old forum color scheme back!!

:eek:

Obama isn't here, QUIT WITH THE CHANGE ALREADY!! :(


Damn, they've figured us out. They closed down the Spam forum because all of General is Spam, eh?

Damn! Damn it all to SPAM!

jolt y u do this D:

*beats system*

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Arial.

What a bad idea. I can't tell which topics are being commented on a lot and which ones aren't. It's a horrible shade of blue and the font's harder to read.

:(

No likey...

It's called GoBlind font...

I like the smallness part, but the light blue part is sick, just sick.

Yeah if they took it down a few shades it would be alright

Good Pie!

When we moved to Jolt everybody was like "OmG!111!1!!1ELEVENTY!1!! it's so grey and boring", now we get some colours back and you guys still don't like it.

Or all of you came here after the move to Jolt :/

*wants the old BB boards looks back*

EXCELLENT initiative.
Sorry Jolt. I realise you are sponsored by aspirin and several companies making glasses, but this is silly.

I don't have anything against change.
Ok, I do..against bad changes, and this is one.

Tiny text.
Too much...grey(?) in the font color.

Not being able to tell active threads apart by just looking at the name of it.
Blue!?? Whats wrong with good old black?
Though it is a nice shade of blue,
it does not mean that this is the right place for it.

Ouch....

You're damn right. Ouch.

Very "nice", now I can't tell updated topics from old ones, as all are in the same font.

Yes, I miss the "updated threads are bold" feature as well.

Obama-NSG: Font change you can believe in!

Now, now -- the new style was designed by a popular celebrity! (Stevie Wonder)

Not that it matters, but this is one vote AGAINST the new font. NSG headaches should come from rotten posts, not a thin font.

Now, now -- the new style was designed by a popular celebrity! (Stevie Wonder)

Or Gilbert Gottfried.








...with all the squinting...anyone? Nobody? Rats.

Bring back Verdana!

Damn I'm sick of Arial already. :headbang:

And cornflower blue? There is such a color? :eek:

Obama-NSG: Font change you can believe in!
Blech.

*votes for McCain*

Yes, I miss the "updated threads are bold" feature as well.


Indeed.

One small font for Nationstates. One giant leap for migraines...

You maniacs! You blue it up!Damn you! Damn you all to hell!

Meh, the new default font sucks, so I just set my browser to override them. It helps.

I actually don't mind the new font all that much, looks pretty decent.

Yes, I miss the "updated threads are bold" feature as well.

Yeah I like the rest of the fonts but would like to tone down the blue and bring back that feature

I actually don't mind the new font all that much, looks pretty decent.

Once you set your browser to magnify it, it's passable. I just prefer wider fonts.

I wonder if I can just change the colour of links to make them black.....

Edit:Success, of sorts. *goes to edit sig*

Edit again: Curse you 1000 character limit!

I thought this was going to be a thread about the irritating situation where one has to pay for a baptism, but does not have any notes of the right denomination (ho-ho) and thus has to resort to using numerous coins.

Pay a priest €50 in coins? That's madness.

No, silly, you have to pay twice as much if you want Madness to play in the church after the baptism.

I don't like the font size or the link colors. :(

It looks faded, like someone left it in the sun too long. I want the old font back, my aged eyes can't take this.

Yes, I miss the "updated threads are bold" feature as well.
Ditto. It's a pointless and annoying change.

Out of interest, did the old NS skin come with the forum move when you guys came over to jolt, or did someone submit it specially for you?

You maniacs! You blue it up!Damn you! Damn you all to hell!

I don't think this is Maineiacs's fault...

Ugh. I generally dislike change automatically anyway, but this is a seemingly pointless and obnoxious one.

Good Pie!

*wants the old BB boards looks back*

Biggest problem I have, aside from the horrid color, is that you can no longer tell when a thread has new posts at a glance. It's irksome.

Mommy... I'm scared. Why are the forums all different looking? And what's this funny cornflower smell? I don't like it here. It smells like grandma's; like ointment and Vicks' Vapour Rub.

Hmm..

This bullshit is raping my eyes,

Indeed. At first I just thought the blue was not so readable, but then I noticed me squinting all the time... narf.

Also, is the background brighter? That would explain part of the pain... bright colours on screens are not a bright idea either.

I don't think this is Maineiacs's fault...

I dunno. Maineiacs has been acting a bit shifty for a while now...

Yay!!! We´re Back To The Original Colors!! Woohoo!!:d

OMAC has no chance against NSG!

We are invincible!

Yay!!! We´re Back To The Original Colors!! Woohoo!!:d
Finally!! I guess they heard our complaints! Woo!

Yes!!!

I am happy. :)

oh, so first change is bad, but now you are all like 'yay change!'

fucking flip-flopers

w00t!

Back in Black, yay!

Now if they fix back the font, too... *hopes*

oh, so first change is bad, but now you are all like 'yay change!'

:p

Back in Black, yay!

:p

Pwease? The font hurts my eyes!

They changed it back? :(
I liked the blue font.
Besides, updated threads are still indistinguishable.

Besides, updated threads are still indistinguishable.

Must have been something on my side. They are good now :D

still, the font. :(

It's much better now! :)

It was just a bad dream... wasn't it?

Finally!! I guess they heard our complaints! Woo!
Or they were scared of lawsuits by people straining their eyes to see that crap.
