    Hi there!
    This isn't really a feedback ...but I was wondering if it would be possible to make a hotpink version of the site?
    Rather than the default navy blue header?

    Yes, I like my pink. :cool:

    I suppose so, though it would make things complicated to edit..since I'd have to edit/install things twice because of the way it's set up.

    Maybe when I am bored...

    It's totally unisex.

    No, it's totally more on the masculin side.

    I think purple would look better than hot pink.

    I figured out an easy way to create a pink version without messing too much with the forum, but you'd need to be able to toggle between alternate style sheets (which you can do with a firefox plugin, not sure which browser you use though).

    I'm with Safari, but it's fine I can always switch to Firefox when using forumvancouver.
    Just link me the plug-in and I'll get it.

    I'm impressed with your commitment towards pink.

    Do you have photoshop? If so, you should change the colour of the banner so I can see what kind of "pink" you want.

    lol I don't like just any pink. I prefer hot pink, not light girly baby pink. But that betseyjohnson pink :p
    You don't have to if you don't want to but I was just wondering in the near future maybe!

    Sorry I was bored and spent a good 5 minutes trying to mimic the font style you're using. But gave up cause obviously it took too long.

    [​IMG]
    Background: FE007E (nevermind this) I like this hot pink: F806A0
    Forum pink colour: FF84C1

    I don't know, it looks odd...I think you should make the samples. The light pink looks too girly and the hot pink looks too red now.

    **To answer your question, yes I have photoshop. But last used it in grade 8, don't remember to make layers or anything anymore. Sucksssss

    The fuschia aka the FORUM doesn't contrast well with the dark undertone of that pink...

    Only did that because your example is so extreme.

    LOL I know it is. But can you tone the fuschia down? Maybe a brighter pink? Yeah yeah?

    It turns out red if I adjust it that way, probably because it's dark to begin with.

    I did this: [​IMG]

    But that wouldn't go well with the gray navigation bar :p.

    THAT'S TOO PINK!
    Yeah it won't :(
    Well I talking about the word Forum being a bit more pink, cause I see the gradient that you're using.
    That purple is nice, but if only the world Forum is a bit more on the pink light or pink hot side.

    *On a side note: I'm a junior member now LOL!

    Will adjust it later :p.

    In Safari, there's a plugin called SafariStand that can load alternate style sheets. So what you'd do is load a custom style sheet for this website with the alternate headers.
