New color scheme ... Hoppy or Sloppy?

Thought the site could use a little color for the summer ... do you like the new color scheme and hoppy background or should we revert back to the old look?

Share your thoughts and ideas!

Cheers,

As always, have any specific recommendations, let me know!; ▶ Reply to This

Most of the members that I've heard from so far didn't care for the hop-heavy green scheme I experimented with yesterday. To be honest, I didn't either ... I've changed the scheme to a more "classy" beer-compatible color palate that I'm kinda diggin'. But just because I like it, though, doesn't mean this is what we're gonna stick with. As before, let me know what you think of this one (as of 12:02pm CST). I'm still playing with background images a bit, but I do like the dark beer water bead thing ...

what do you, the Aleuminati, think?

Oh, by the way, look for an upgrade to the platform to happen sometime on Thursday, July 10th. More functionality in the forum and a few other miscellaneous improvements ... ...; ▶ Reply to This
