Petition to Keep April Fool's Change

[Armaetus]

Color theme, Yes

Main menu avatar, NO

 

[Cinos]

As an alternate theme I support it. I'd use it.

Also, I find the "we need to look different because furries are different" replies mildly hilarious and majorly disappointing.

 

[Chomperz]

There's a firefox plugin that actually lets you change the website colors (but locally, and it doesn't upload to the server or messes with bandwith). It's called Stylish..

i'm getting a feel for it and i'm going to make the april fool's theme for it in case we do not keep it...

(mootnote: i think both Fenders should co-exist in some way instead of killing one off....)

 

[AndyFox]

Well, the color scheme does suggest a more merky and adult-themed site, but... *shrugs* I guess lots of people like it. Just takes a bit to get use to.

As for Fender, he's a ferrox. He's always been a ferrox. He should remain a ferrox. You don't suddenly change a mascot and symbol for a website for no reason. To use a friend's quote: "You don't change dicks in the middle of a screw." Stick with what we have, fellows. I prefer furry over scaly.

 

[Chomperz]

i figured out how to use stylish, and i got it working sucessfully.

stay tuned..

I am Infinity and I approve of this message.

I like this style, but it might get boring after a while. So I support the idea of being able to switch styles.

Switching styles would prove most useful.

Also, there's always the option of allowing users to override pages with their own styles. How about that?

 

[Chomperz]

Sorry for another post, but i got *Stylish working with FA.

quick FAQ: this stuff works on your computer. it does not download things to FA or anything else. if you made other customizations other than i listed, no one else will see them because it does not really exist on the servers, it is your browser doing it, not the website or anything else.

Keep female dragon fender.

Change banner text.

Keep skin as option. The bright grey, as stated by many, hurts my eyes. xD

petition to drop the april fool's change but keep the dragon mascot

 

[EraDragon]

I wouldn't mind if it was a style option.

 

[PurpleDragon]

I'm all for it too. A nice alternative!

 

[TheSkunkCat]

I think the new colour scheme is horrid.

The dark grey takes the eye away from the pics and to the background of the site and looks as lively as a 50's style soviet government building.

I say eliminate it, restore the old colours and never speak of this again.[/align]

 

[Almafeta]

If, like me, you too are getting disgusted by still seeing that graphic at the top of every page, you can fix it; default_old still has the colors, but replaces that image with the much better February graphic.

Unfortunately, it reverts to the prank graphic on 'control' pages, so doing things like checking your messages or posting to your journal will still be creepy, but at least FA is now readable until they fix the main template.

 

[Orlith Nemeth]

I vote keep it all(even if it is just selectable options) I love that draggy Fender ^.=.^

 

[FatalTragedy2004]

I vote to change Fender back. I don't like the dragon.

Oi, Chomperz. Thanks for that stylesheet.
Since I'm on a portable stick, I don't generally make it a point to copy the stylesheet of every site I visit, and thus I couldn't do anything to roll back, short of rewriting the entire style on my own, from scratch.

Though I vote that they either change it back, or make it an option to use those dark, hideous colours... I won't be too upset if they keep it for the month. I can at least see in one of two places I log in at.

No problem! Glad to help!

I'm planning to make an exciting seizure-inducing skin though once i find the proper place to host the .gif files. Cause that's how i rolllll

EDIT: i didn't save things in advance. It turned out the Admins kept a reference to the old colors in the stylesheet. i just had to replace things to get the old style. Once the old style is back, i'll need to test out the new style.

 

[Vulnavia]

If there could be options on color schemes then folks could choose what works best for their particular situation. Light or dark ambient light in the room where the computer is, difficulty resolving white lettering, difficulty resolving black lettering... whatever. All I know is the current pattern is not one I feel comfortable with. It's hard for me to read. If there can be only one pattern I would greatly prefer a return to the scheme that was in place before April 1.

 

[quentinwolf]

I personally am loving the new theme/color choices too. Much easier on the eyes, makes me spend more time at FA lol.

For those that are complaining, maybe make this choosable theme... Other than that, I also like the new banner. XD Is there a larger version of it anywhere? (full image, uncropped, or was it made just specifically like that?) *chuckles*

 

[Versilaryan]

Signed. I like the new colors; my eyes don't hurt as much anymore when viewing the site.

 

[SpiritCreations]

I personally absolutely despise the new colors. I can't see a damned thing and it doesn't present the art well at all. It's SO hard to read!! However, I know that some like it and their opinion is important too. I also vote on letting each user choose which interface they choose to see. Let it be an option.

 

[FrittMonster]

*sings* Yeeeess!! It's sooo much easier on the eyes, and better at night when all the lights are off.
