    Not suggesting this color theme. Goal was to show how a darker color can cause media to pop, as opposed to becoming washed out when surrounded by nothing but white (too "sterile" and blinding), or a variation of it. Could do only so much in Paint... If you can gradually color fade, the appearance could be extremely enhanced. There would be no need for the thick borders that I drew.

    Perhaps the advertisement could be inserted at the bottom of the homepage? If not, I would suggest inserting it somewhere below SwellInfo's branding photograph, as opposed to above it. SwellInfo branding should take precedence over any/all advertisements. Might want to keep in mind that a vast amount of users block ads...

    Some touch-up needs to be done to the rider's forehead (distortion). Might also want to consider removing the green color behind him, so that he does not appear to have eaten some spoiled shellfish...

    There are some decent vids on color selections. Will see if I can find any short ones.

    The "Venice Blue Gradient" theme. Still playing with it, but I like it. Simple, clean, relaxing, and looks like surf.

    Told Admin I would check it out, sent me the link and I can't log in. Then it puts this stupid sign in box on my screen which I can't get rid of unless I go into my Task Manager and shut down my search engine. Oh well, I tried

    You referring to the white box requesting special credentials, or the sign-in box after that?

    I thought the flux capacitor was low on turn signal fluid!

    It can be persistent. Typically takes me three attempts to close it, but it does close for me without going into TM.

    That’s normal. Use the credentials Adnib gave you to login with that. It will go away once you login.

    Or are we taking about the same thing? I didn’t have any issues...

    Pretty sure he is referring only to the initial, white credential box gaining access to the redesign website, and not the actual sign in box requesting standard sign-in data following it.

    Meh...can't be as frustrated as I am trying to work in this Paint software. Vendetta mode with it has helped to somewhat distract me from this burn, though. He will try again later and manage access.

    Hey. There does appear to be an issue. Credential box oddly appeared directly after my last post, while I was still signed into the redesign partition. Re-entered provided credentials and received a 401 Error:

    No longer can access, currently using old site. Sign out and test to see if you can still gain access to the redesign partition. Perhaps Admin read Zereovol's message and tweaked...

    The whole forum was down for a brief moment around that time, on the old site, but it’s back up. I just tried logging into the redesign site and I can’t access it either. Maybe the credentials expired or the test run is over and they are about to go live after final tweaks? Just guessing, I honestly have no idea.

    Others are probably not bold enough to admit to having sign in issues.
