Different colour for each message board!

The colours and fonts we had before were absolutely fine. Pale colours combined with the new font are so hard on the eyes - there is not enough contrast. And I HATE the fact that when you click on the message boards it defaults to the success board. This is the least useful of all the boards, and I never read it. Why not have a menu as before. Angela

HATE is rather a strong word to use - dislike may have been a better option - dont you find it inspirational reading the success boards?? I do. the colours are fine for me - I believe there was a lot of thought went into them - my friends partner is an optician and is very impressed with the choice. as someone pointed out - look outside - look at the trees the grass the sky - blue and green work well there - dont they - if you still think they clash get in touch with the Creator :-)

I quite like them as they are. But on a lighter note they could be black and white and red (read) all over. Elaine x.

I like it just how it is now - nice "dull" pastel green and blues - very soothing and sedate, quite fitting for thr subject matter

Stick with it - I was'nt sure yesterday, my 'eyesight jury' was still out. Today it's growing on me. I've left my fav's list up on the left hand side just to fill in a bit of that wide blue margin - not ideal but it does take the glare off. Sue

Not worried about the colour scheme, getting peeved at having the success board open on me every time I click on message boards though. Viv
