Ok, guys, please make a selection; this poll expires in seven days and I will follow the outcome (until I can implement this suggestion).

Is there any way of having things like buildings in bold white, whilst the character names still in orange?

I voted the old way just because I really dont like the white on white... I wouldnt mind seeing something different tried but as long as it was a contrasting color

AND PLEASE dont make us wait 7 days.. I dont know how much I can take of it this way.. I forsee my activity going from running out of minutes every day to lots of left over minutes until it changes I sure havent accomplished much today I have gone as far as to spend time arrangind notes just to NOT look at the event page
Who wants to be normal...... Normal means you are with the majority.. and I dont want to be with them......

Oh come on, I mean I don't like it, but it's not that bad. And it's just because it's the first day or so, people adapt, that's why they are here today.
Just because you're older, smarter, stronger, more talented... doesn't mean you're BETTER.

At least two colors is a must. The bold doesn't really stand out much and all the white blends together.

Yes, impatience. Haste makes waste. Now, we need to think of a thorough answer to this issue, since it will continue to plague us as we play cantr if we don't fix it properly now.

The old way was pretty bad (after the addition of building links). This isn't better.

<b>Solution 1: We need two colors.

Solution 2: Or have we looked into using light greys or another single color which doesn't hurt, but still contrasts?A very opaque orange...?

I was fine with the old way, aulthough I can appreciate how it might annoy some people. This new scheme warrents the use of explicit words though, purely by my personal opinion

Hey now, have you even seen the changes? I thought you were still getting the orange with your browser.

However, I'm very sad to report that now I'm getting all white too, even on my home computer. Firefox, I thought you were cool. How could you do this to me?! :cry:
