Change is in the air...


Recommended Posts

I seem to be picking up some weird mix of the old and new designs - but I'm logged on at the office. Opps, better get back to work...

All, if you are experiencing odd problems, please give this a shot (clear your cache).

Wow! It really makes the site look different — more "professional" really.

 

I like everything except the reverse type (white on black), which is even in this text input box I'm typing in now. I'm pretty sure Mazda can adjust that, though.

 

BTW, Mazda, on my browser I see the following at the very bottom of my screen (below forum):

I get that stuff on a blank page after posting a reply. A reload doesn't seem help.

 

FWIW...Mozilla 2.0.0.2

You know what I just realized about the ads? They both use the descriptor "Ultimate"?!? And is it just me or is the Westfield headline extremely close to the BMW line...not that I disagree with it, of course.

Um, looks spiffy but very hard to read. I don't mind the ads...

 

alright... taking everyone's feedback into account... I'll see what can be done with the background/forecolor of the reading area.

Working on this one...

I know that Mazda works his butt off on this website, and we all greatly appreciate his unpaid efforts......

 

 

But there is no way to sugar coat this; I don't like it.

 

It is extremely hard to read. There is a reason books are white with black type. Please return to the old format, or give us an alternative look selected in our profiles. ( if possible, and isn't too much work)

 

I am still getting the old top of the page pic, and no ads, so I will clear my cache of all sites and re log on to see what happens.

 

EDIT:

 

I should not have said I don't like it, I meant to say, I don't like that it is diffiult to read. I like the new headline pics, and the ads are fine with me, it's all about legibility.

 

I cleared all my Internet history and cookies, and now I see the page correctly.

 

EDIT #2:

I changed the appearance in My Profiles per Mazda's instructions, and now I am happy as a clam.:)

The Site looks great a step in the right direction very professional and should attract more attention. I agree with everyone else on the type but I do have younger eyes so it’s not that bad. As a recommendation can we go with a light grey for the background and black for the lettering. Just do the reverse of what currently is up right now.

 

If you guys need some help I can photoshop something up pretty quick I still have the existing file.

 

Thanks again it was great working for you guys.

 

If anyone else is looking for some graphicsdesigns or productdesigns Email me. gwar1000@hotmail.com
