Help, my eyes are going .....

Postby Neil178 » Thu Apr 20, 2006 9:19 pm

My screen has gone all wishy washy.
Can computers get anaemia, or has the colour been toned down on purpose to show respect for the new kid on the block? :shock:
Lets have more colour in DDP!

Okay, I'm just an old fart that is resistant to changes! :lol:

Neil,

Do you mean the Boxertrix.com pages losing their lovely blue background? I was giving it a bt of a refresh and decided to err a bit more on the side of ledgibility. I'm also trying to integrate them a bit more with the forum pages and the subdued colour scheme we have on here. Any thoughts on colour schemes or site layout will be greatly appreciated, but don't get your hopes up too much for DDP featuring prominently :wink: .

Cheers,

Paul
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

I like the new layout!

Is it time to think of how 1200s might link / share the site in the intrest of keeping the numbers on the forum up.

You might need to change this???

The UK-based forum for what is still BMW's sportiest Boxer - the R1100S


BMW's next to sportiest Boxer or.. BMW's second sportiest Boxer or BMW R1100S - quite fast enough thank you! or .....

Yup!

I prefer the new layout.

I get the impression that most R1100s owners tend to keep their bikes, thereby maintaining the numbers in the group?

I like the new look, maybe go with BMW's race colours? why not drop the model nomenclature and go with the strapline " the uk-based forum for BMW's sportiest boxers

just my 2p's worth

Nice suggestion Steve. Let's see what Gromit has to say about that.

I've been playing with Google map technology, so now all of the places on the "Meet us at..." pages have an interactive Google map centred on the meeting spot. You can click and pan these maps in real time, zoom in or out, and change between map view, satelitte view or a hybrid of the two. Let me know how you get on playing with them. Suggestions for additional locations to stick in there would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Paul
