+GeckoGeek Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I visited a different forum (www.corsicas.com) with my computer. After I was done, I closed up the browser (IE) and came to Groupdspeak. Now I suddenly find instead of the familiar Groundspeak colors, everything is different - it's taken on the color scheme of the other site. What's worse, all my "new" markers have been reset. Anyway to participate in both forums without messing each other up? I suspect both use the same software, and may be using the same cookies for some reason.
+robert Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 The forum software was updated this morning, welcome to the new look.
+GeckoGeek Posted February 5, 2006 Author Posted February 5, 2006 The forum software was updated this morning, welcome to the new look. Uh, you sure about that? Two-tone blue? I thought GC's colors were green.
+robert Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I'm very sure the forum software was updated and this is the new look.
+sbell111 Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 That's OK. Many of us tried to get in this morning and thought we had been banned.
+GeckoGeek Posted February 5, 2006 Author Posted February 5, 2006 I'm very sure the forum software was updated and this is the new look. I'll believe that, but I'm just making sure that what I see on my screen is really the new look and not something else. I just surprised that it's new blue instead of green - and apparently the default colors of this software since identical to the forum I was visiting before - hence the confusion.
+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 It is blue tones. But I agree I have had this happen in the past. For example an old forum I used to visit used the same software as GS.com and if I blocked the avatars over there it would do it here too. Other small stuff like that.
+Deliveryguy428 Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 It is still green, what are you talking about, you really need to look into this....
+robert Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I don't remember the forums being green before?!? Someone should notify LE about this.
+GeckoGeek Posted February 6, 2006 Author Posted February 6, 2006 I don't remember the forums being green before?!? Someone should notify LE about this. I donno, maybe I'm just suffering from CRS. All I remember was having a big shock when I came in that it seemed it was radially different. More then just the style. Maybe I was using a non-standard skin? (CRS = Can't remember squat)
+denali7 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 it's funny that we all seem to refer to this site as "the big green," as in "i was reading this discussion on the big green last night and blah, blah, blah..." it's the gc.com site that's green, not our dear ol' forums!
+DavidMac Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 I thought I saw a screenshot here recently of the old and new fora (is that the right plural) side by side. I think the reason the new color scheme stands out is because it's more staurated- the old one was more along the lines of blue/grey, this one's BLUE. That, and people readily notice change. I'm still adjusting to the new look, but after a few more days, I probably won't even think about it.
+DavidMac Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Here's a combined screenshot of old/new side-by- side for comparison. Don't stare at it too long- it'll make your head hurt
