Test out the new USMB Skin - Feedback appreciated

[toobfreak]

Good feedback.

Keep in mind, elchorizo, that most of us here are older, maybe in our 60s and 70s; some in their 80s---- and the v2 skin was harder to read than the old v1 skin changed circa 2020, and this new skin is even harder for us to read yet. Maybe the new skin appeals more to younger eyes or people using smartphones!

Too bright. Font looks kinda funky, too.

 

[Ropey]

I like the new skin. It works very well in dark mode and I'm often outside.

I've just bumped up the font sizes 1px across all font categories.

The rumor is that Toro's proposed changes to the USMB toilets have been nixed.

It is a trend, but sucks - and that is Medium gray text on a light gray background.
On the Front Page - the font is too thin. Hard to read for the over 50 crowd, which is most people here.

I’m indifferent about it

Me, too, except that big, beautiful rock in my avatar looks . . . little.

A website has toilets?

 

[Auld Phart]

A website has toilets?

of course.

How else do you think crap gets to the FZ?

 

[WinterBorn]

Thank you for the option of keeping the old skin. I dislike change for the sake of change.

You're not much into the figurative abstract sense, then.

Is there a support desk number I can call?

I've been on the phone for the last hour with the USMB call center. I keep yelling "Re-pre-sen-ta-tive!" Nothing, but the annoying out-of-pitch elevator music with static. Just like a typical government office. Oh well.

 

[usmbtech]

Awesome, glad you like the old one! It doesn't matter to me or anyone else which one you use

LOL we were thinking exactly the same thing at exactly the same time before we posted at exactly the same time.

Oh, goody, I love tests.

I don't. I didn't study.

Listen to this song, good hold music. I used this at my previous business as hold music.

I don't hate the new look, but I prefer the old. It does whittle down the avatar from the old square format to a smaller circle. Like Wendy's says "we don't cut corners" and now I see why the square burgers are better. LOL. (laughing at my lame joke)

Even if I go back to the old format, I have to be aware of signature lines and images for those using the new format.
