[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="49" id="2703908"] The backgrounds are a bit more golden/brownish and the text is a bit more yellow. Thanks to Das123 for the suggestions Bara [/quote] Bara, this new background color is the color of baby crap....just my opinion, but the black was way better. I feel like I'm typing out a reply on the inside of a dirty diaper now...

[quote who="Tridus" reply="42" id="2703853"] Quoting Raven X, reply 40 Man, you guys are killing me. Who gives a shit about the color when most of us (using IE 7 & 8 ) CAN'T MAKE NEW POSTS. The colors are IRRELEVANT when posting functionality is Screwed!!! Since we're in a thread dedicated specifically to the color scheme, the color scheme is in fact highly relevant. Anything else is off topic... like your posts. Hell, the colo

The colors are IRRELEVANT when posting functionality is Screwed!!! So don't be an ass and go make a new thread. This is a thread about the color scheme, it says so in the topic. If you have a problem with posting, go make a new thread and stop trolling this one. [/quote] I'd be HAPPY TO but

P.S. We have a "Colors too Dark Whinner Thread" already. Spam much? This thread should be locked and deleted. @ Bara: How about Fixing that big logo at the top of the screen keeping everyone who's using IE from making new posts and stuff. I can't even browse half of the forums because of it and I can't find all the threads I have replies in because I can't reach the "My Replies" button. Don't worry about the colors, Fix That First Please. On a side note, the "WOW" effect was d

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="3" id="2703026"]He's talking about the Elemental boards. And I agree. Dark gray text on pure black background is not the best on the eyes. [/quote] Annatar, what do you mean "Dark Gray"? The text looks like it's Bright White to me.

[quote who="DisturbedComputer" reply="13" id="2703659"] they say they do and will cut you off and send the info with of the pirated stuff to the cops. I read on their aDrive site that they have the right to look in your storage space any time for any reason [/quote] Which is exactly why I wouldn't use something like this. What I store somewhere should be my business. By storing files on someone else's hardware you give them the legal right to browse through i

[quote who="Philly0381" reply="1" id="2703169"]You need to identify in which forums this is happening. This thread is showing up in the WinCustomize forums. [/quote] It's happening in all of them here on the Elemental site as far as I can tell. Every time someone makes a reply to one of the pinned threads the thread its-self gets duplicated and re-posted in the lists with the non-pinned threads. It seems kinda "Spammy" if you ask me. What's more important than that

Man, you guys are killing me. Who gives a shit about the color when most of us (using IE 7 & 8 ) CAN'T MAKE NEW POSTS . The colors are IRRELEVANT when posting functionality is Screwed!!! From what I've seen the colors all come down to our Personal Tastes, our individual Opinions. I could say that I think only the old people with bad eyes are whining about the color change. Or I could say only ne

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="63" id="2703013"] Quoting Raven X, reply 60 ... I would love it if Stardock made patches to games downloadable for Only Paying Customers so I could save them on my system and back them up for storage for the years to come if I ever do have to move back to a area with no connectivity. http://anywhere.impulsedriven.com/ ? It still requires Impulse

I wonder how long it will take before some moron starts filling his 50 gigs with pirated games and movies lol? Scenario: "Kid A" comes home from school. Logs in to his free 50 gigs and uploads all the games he downloaded via torrent the night before. He emails the account and pass to his buddy, "Kid B", who logs on and grabs those games, then changes the pass and gives it to another buddy, "Kid C", or he just leaves the pass what it is and hands it out to "D-E-F-G", you get th

Guys, Frogboy isn't saying there Won't Be a Visual Editor. He's saying it will be a XML Editor AS WELL. Meaning there Will Be a Visual Editor AND it will allow us to edit XML variables as well. This means that for those people who don't like messing with XML you will have an easier way to do it!!! Be thankful, Not disappointed ;)

[quote who="seanw3" reply="2" id="2703296"]Judging from this I can make hobbits/halflings and reduce their size with a simple .3 mod. That will save me so much time. Giants = 3.0 ? and how do I make them take up more space on the tacmap? [/quote] Excellent questions. As soon as I saw the scale modification listed I wondered the same thing.

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="18" id="2703571"] Quoting edpfister, reply 11 This really should be it's own thread but I can't create one. The Elemental War of Magic title is sitting over all the buttons and at the top of the screen and they are mostly unclickable for me. Logining in is a real pain so I'm lucky I'm able to post at all. IE 7 issue apparently. Didn't try IE 8 so not sure if it has the same problem. [/quote] It's in

Indeed, this should be stickied.

I'd start a new thread titled "Please KEEP The Current Color Scheme" but I can't access the "Create New Post" button. I really really like the new background. [quote]I thought design like that was so 90ies. [/quote] Just call me a 90's kid :P

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="8" id="2703155"] Edit: bad luck, Raven. No red seems "cool" enough for this forum. [/quote] Bah....you're just too full of "Goodness" to enjoy the colors of blood and darkness. Note: It helps if you use Bright Red instead of Dark Red, bolding is nice too. Honestly, I'm really digging this new look (minus that dumb logo getting in the way)

[quote who="B G P Hughes" reply="104" id="2702786"]Seems you missed mine: https://forums.elementalgame.com/389773 https://forums.elementalgame.com/389772 [/quote] They are both in the list B.G.P. If for some reason you think yours might have been missed just hit "Ctrl F" and type in your name and it will jump right to the part in the list where your idea is. Those two you are pointing at are ideas number 6 & 7 in the "Customization" sec

Note: I can not reach the "Edit Post" button to add new ideas with that big ass Logo In The Way. PLEASE fix this so I can add new ideas soon and don't get too far behind.

Logining in is a real pain so I'm lucky I'm able to post at all. I see all kinds of posts about the color but nothing about this issue which is a much more immediate problem for me.

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="3" id="2703113"] Bright red on black does not match the theme of the site, nor does it make it any more readable, imo. Bara [/quote] What do you mean it doesn't match the Theme? The whole site is black!!! Looks like it matches to me :P What's MORE IMPORTANT thn color is the fact that I STILL can't make new posts, or access "My Replies" or "My Posts" or anything at the top of the page because of the Big Glowing Elemental L

Use RED , It's far easier to see...like Blood .

I'm having the same problem. The Dev Journals show up in every forum section. I also can't access any of the controls at the top of a page because there's a big "Elemental: War of Magic" logo in the way. I think someone needs to abuse the web monkeys again.

I think that if any of the "Options" could be gotten rid of to make room for other options it should be the "Threshold" option. It should default to 0, not 4. Why? Because as this thread has proven there are going to be a LOT of people who won't see the option in the "Options" screen. It's better to make it a Choice Every Time then it is to only make it a choice once certain conditions are met. Some people might even view it as a flaw in the design. Example: "How come I can chose to f

This is a pretty important aspect if you ask me. Scaling needs to be accurately shown when we make buildings or dungeons with the editors and want to use them on custom maps. In a way it almost sounds like a bug too though. Maybe you should post this in the Elemental Beta Section as a bug report as well and see what happens.

[quote]1. Unit cycling. Most known strategy games have buttons for cycle available units. Elemental is not. It have icons for heroes, but all this peasants, explorers or warriors goes unnoticed. It causes two problems.[/quote] Indeed. A "Next Unit" or "Next Idle Unit" button would be very handy. Especially once you get more than a handful of units and multiple battles going at diferent places on the campaign map. Losing track of units is always a hassle once Emipres or Kingdoms reach
