URGH! Bold White?

[Solfius]

mm, that was the problem I had with the orange links. Everything jumped out at once and made it hard (for me at least) to read.

How exactly did you skim for important bits any way? considering that every line had some kind of orange link in it

[Lumin]

I know with everything becoming dynamic too much orange might become a problem soon, but I still found having two colors easier to follow than just one. I suppose I'll get used to it eventually, but right now it just doesn't look right.

[Chris Johnson]

Well not every line had orange on it . Project completion and your own actions which didn't involve a nameable object - so these where easier to spot

Secondly within lines with which had a nameable object , the objects were where deferentiated from the actions more than just being bold.


What really is needed is a Player defined CSS colour for links - then the player could decide if they wanted the links to be Orange , Bold white, underlined, Italic or rainbow shaded (actually the last would not be possible with current CSS). Once one logged in then the players stored link preference could be used from there on

So Solfius could have his Bold white and the rest could go back to orange

Oooh - that is sooo not working for me.

There are other CSS ways to make the links look distinctive and keep them readable.

Please please please don't leave it like that.

If I was 12 I'd say it was Gay.

Change it back please!

suggestions? Bold white and white was the best I could think of.

I think underlined/not underlined wouldn't work.

Perhaps a different colour, other than orange?

*shudders*

Please change it back. Please.

This white and white thing... it is just horrible. I can't tell what's going on, and it hurts to read the page.

Seriously, if you think this is better than orange... I'm coming round there with a bat.

Solfius (and others):

CSS for reference: http://www.userlogics.com/Cantr/cantrII_files/cantr.css

Obviously you could tweak colours/border to make it more obvious or subtle as neccessary - the different colours for different items is just a suggestion to make it easier to skim for specific items/events

[Surly]

I was quite happy with green and orange...

I do believe the negative reaction to the change far outweighs those who wanted this... but I could be wrong.

Bring back the orange!

Not to mention the fact I need to change my avatar now...

I think it is something that will take sometime to get used to but it is a nice change. Keep up the good work.

[boomhaeur]

For the record - I liked the old style too... thought it was getting a bit hectic with so many links - again simply making people links (traditional orange) one colour and vehicle/town links another (darker orange or other subtle colour) could be a solution.

[Lumin]

Yes, it does seem like the majority of players prefered the orange.

Maybe someone should start a poll?

[Surly]

I think it is something that will take sometime to get used to but it is a nice change. Keep up the good work.

I don't think it is a nice change. I think this is far more confusing and, quite frankly, much harder on the eye.

In conclusion:
More dynamic naming, good.
Bold white, horribly bad and evil
Return to orange, good
Some kind of compromise, probably the best solution.

[boomhaeur]

Yeah bold white is a bad direction - the links still need to be obvious just toned down a bit perhaps. This is gonna confuse the hell out of newbies.

[Doodle_Jack]

Well, while we're at it....

Could the green please be turned to blue? I like blue more than green.
