It feels like there's so many random colors floating about the forum as of late, just by highlighting user names. It's an eyesore, imo.

RigidatoMS · « **Reply #1 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:33:16 pm »

Nice, but I don't know how I can do that. Can you teach me?

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #2 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:35:12 pm »

No.

Code: [Select]

[color=whatever color you want]Blah[/color]

RigidatoMS · « **Reply #3 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:36:10 pm »

Thanks!

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #4 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:37:34 pm »

Oh my god its getting worse. Is every other post a different background color now?

OH god it's all over the who's online list too. MY EYES.

RigidatoMS · « **Reply #5 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:38:38 pm »

(facepalm) I'm bad on it, this is the case.

GerbilSoft · « **Reply #6 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:39:57 pm »

But the colors feel so right...

Cream147 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:40:28 pm »

I have mixed feelings. I think it would help if there weren't a hundred different coloured usergroups - most forums that use the coloured usernames only have a couple of different colours.

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #8 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:43:09 pm »

Should rename the usergroups LASER!, CUBE!, ROCKET!, etc

Thorn · « **Reply #9 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:46:34 pm »

There aren't many different usergroups, though. We'll be building a BS-calling group, yes, and there's the old "cool" group and the new "cool" group in dark green and blue. All other colors are for admins or ex-admins, of which there are few. If you're seeing tons of colors around, then the problem is that nobody except the admins and privileged are talking. ;p

I am willing to agree that the contrast is occasionally high as I look at the Proto Good Future skin, but the idea of alternating row/post colors that are only slightly different is common to many forums and serves as a visual aid, so I won't slander the idea itself.

I'm just waiting for someone to chime in with "Reach for the Stars" lyrics.

Oh god run.

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #11 on:** February 10, 2014, 07:02:55 pm »

I just noticed my original post actually has a usergroup for each of the colors I used except for purple.

EDIT: Nope. Purple's used on B'days.

RigidatoMS · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2014, 07:14:22 pm »

No, the colors aren't a problem, for me. The problem for me is that I lost all my SH data, even with some video proofs. Why am I going out of the topic? Ok, I liked your idea, Gerbil.
Edit: It took me more than a half hour to post it.

In before people start arguing over whether it should be forum "colors" or "colours"

That would be an argument I'd lose by sheer numbers, so I'd rather not. I'll just resolutely stick to the correct spelling and pretend everyone else is doing the same.

Parax · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2014, 12:12:49 am »

yeah I think there's too many colors actually, maybe we can condense a few of them

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2014, 07:19:35 pm »

Much better.

Parax · « **Reply #17 on:** February 20, 2014, 04:03:23 am »

oh, I guess I could post here

I condensed a bunch of the colors yesterday. We have six colors now:

- Default color for regular users.
- Blue for cool users (If I Had A (Ban)Hammer, Broseidon)
- Green for moderators (I Have A (Ban)Hammer)
- Red for admins (Architect/Beast/Owner of the Matrix)
- Dark red for ex-admins (Designer of the Matrix, Architect Emeritus)
- Grey for banned users

The last one prolly isn't very visible on some skins since grey is used as the default, but meh. Should be significantly less confusing colors now.

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2014, 09:55:13 am »

It looks like the alternating row colors were toned down a bit too.

Parax · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2014, 12:39:38 pm »

I didn't touch those. Unless Gerbil's been making some tweaks, they're the same as they were before.

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #20 on:** February 20, 2014, 12:49:27 pm »

Then I guess I simply got used to it.

Thorn · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2014, 01:09:23 pm »

Yes, Gerbil toned down some of the colors between posts. I will say that I'm a bit sad that the two "cool" groups were condensed, as the second one was made particularly because the former "cool" group was an "ex-cool" group like how we have ex-admins; they simply don't visit anymore.

Also, SDM has violated Section I Part III Rules 4 and 6 and will receive a healthy dose of trout to the face.

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2014, 01:15:01 pm »

Haven't you learned by now that I transcend the rules? I also transcend Trout.

Thorn · « **Reply #23 on:** February 20, 2014, 01:36:27 pm »

Excuse me? Nobody is exempt from the rules. Those days are long past over.

Before any complaining starts, the original is here and I won't object to resetting it. >_>

SpinDashMaster · « **Reply #24 on:** February 20, 2014, 01:39:44 pm »

I believe you just took an avatar themed with an inside joke and inserted another inside joke. This is hereby the most cryptically funny avatar that only I will fully understand.

By the way, you missed b0oty's face.

Also thanks for the snack.
