    Ha. No, you're not seeing the whole new design yet. As part of it, however, I will be changing the colours of the tabled listings in the index pages.

    If you go to http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG/test.php you will see 3 possible numbered colour options. Please vote for the colour option you like the most.

    Edit:
    Here are also full pages of each colour:

    Same for me. The one we have is perfect and there's no need for changing. Haven't voted yet though. Don't think I will until the end because it's not until then I want to see the answers.

    [​IMG] The one we have currently is not perfect, the amount of red on pages full of it is hard on the eyes. Hence the change.

    Hmm. After looking some more I understand what you mean. And I, for some unknown reason, didn't look on the third and it was actually waaay cooler.

    And the second hurts your eyes even more than this one does. And it's too odd for SP IMHO.

    Well, the new design won't have a totally black background like it does currently. My vote was for #3, it's the easiest on the eyes and in my opinion the most elegant. In any event, I'll have to test each selection with the new site design too.

    Either 3 or 1 just not 2! 2 was really yuck to look at. Voted for 3 because it is marginally better than 1 IMO.

    Interesting - the poll results and the posted comments are opposite. I definitely have to go with #1.

    I like the current one best. But considering that wasn't an option I voted for number 3.

    Number one is my favorite, a dark background, which is calm on the eyes.

    I am color 'blind' (I can see colors, but not as perfect as anybody else) and reading for to long on a red or brown backgrounds gives me a headache.
    With the current design, there can be no mistakes about what is the title and what is the descriptive text, for they both have very different colors (blue and red). With color selection #3, it appears to me that the title and the text have the same background colors, and should you change the color of the text (or change other things), it may become user unfriendly, and hard for some people to quickly scroll down the page, searching for something.

    #1 currently has most votes, so I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope it wins.

    I'm also colour blind and I see the ones on the first and third the best.

    The text colour etc. will not change - what you see there is what you will get.

    Don't change them. It looks fine as it is. But No.1 is IMO the most normal one.
