This may help:Ok, I must be blind, perhaps by the new look. But I went to the "Ideas" section to see if there was something there I would like to support and darned if I can find new ideas. Where do I look to find properly formatted new ideas?
That's because of the colors and contrast! Everyone is getting blinded and can't see the postsOk, I think it is, no wonder I was having trouble, I expected to see a few more! lol
It's not too bad on my phone but on pc still really hurts to look atIf I tell you that you'll get used to it, you won't believe me.
I don't mind the new layout although I seem to have a little difficulty finding new/unread posts but I am still really struggling to read it on my PC, there really is not enough contrast between the beige background and the textFirst day, strong objection. Second day, slight objection. Third day, accustomed. Fourth day, probably like it.
I dont know, I am just speculating, now I have a second theory. Maybe the new thing is really, really, really bad, scrambled together, so bad that even I can do it, like when I "designed" my first blog homepage, which I soon after abandoned, with "let's see, what if I put this here, and this here, and pick this color..." and it is so bad, that anyone who although criticizes it, yet not thorough enough, falls into a trap, it is like in a parenting group, a message appears that looks very strange, everyone analyzes it but finally the parent reveals, that it is the infant baby who grabbed the phone and sent a message.I don't mind the new layout although I seem to have a little difficulty finding new/unread posts but I am still really struggling to read it on my PC, there really is not enough contrast between the beige background and the text

Yeah, think it was an attempt for consistency, but it fails the readability test. If they insist on keeping this color scheme, a different default font might help.3) On further examination, the new theme seems to be an effort to become consistent with the ingame Message Center. But less comfortable to look at than the Message Center.
It seems very monotonous, because several of the colors are very close to each other. It also makes the layout vaguer, making it harder to scan the pages qickly to get an overview.2) Everything is so bright and looks the same. Posts, names, buttons, all the same, platitude, non-distinguishable.
The in-game Message Center has a much smaller window, giving much less light. It's also softened by shading and gradual transitions. It further helps that letters are either in bold font, or in softer color; both makes reading easier on the eyes. The most important factors are the smaller window and the shading, though.3) On further examination, the new theme seems to be an effort to become consistent with the ingame Message Center. But less comfortable to look at than the Message Center. The difference is that, with the Message Center, the background (city) dims out, darkens, becomes cloaked.
I've visited quite a few times since the new skin. I've gotten more used to the displeasure, but the displeasure hasn't diminished. Experience with such things tells me that 90% of the time, I'll eventually become either fully accustomed to it, or able to ignore it. However, the physical discomfort (from the brightness) is an unusual feature, to say the least. I have to say, it's not looking good, so far.First day, strong objection. Second day, slight objection. Third day, accustomed. Fourth day, probably like it.
This is like the third time I visited the forum since the "new skin", although somehow I have already become accustomed to it
