Snik Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 and we've had a generally positive response internally and here Highly unlikely.(unless you're internally populated by 10yr olds) Not really a big deal though, as me buying anything else from Corsair is also highly unlikely... as soon as my rma arrives that turkey is going on kijiji. Clearly an outfit that has lost it's way.(imho, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I will inquire about enabling the option to change to the old/default color scheme. ::pirate:: where is the "like" button? (for your comment :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeychgo Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 You should read the first 2 posts of the thread before attempting to be cute. ::pirate:: You should read the dozen or so other posts in the thread that don't like the colors. You can make the forum match the website without the black background. You just need to change the alt1 and alt2 colors in the theme to make people happy.

Yellowbeard Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 You should read the dozen or so other posts in the thread that don't like the colors. How about the few thousand people that visit each week and didn't complain? ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeychgo Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Ignore the complaints if you like, that is certainly your prerogative. But I can tell you that black/dark backgrounds in forums are generally disfavored by people as being hard to read and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 maybe im confused about this having my little sister pass away last night but what difference does it make if i run the old forum color from my computer?,,am i missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The goal was to completely eliminate the old forum look entirely. It's outdated and we want a clean slate. If we leave that option enabled, unregistered users or users that are not logged in will see the old look frequently when prowling the web, Googling, etc. So, we had to remove that look option entirely. As noted above, give me a bit of time and we'll see what we can work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodeoGeorge Me too - I also discovered that corsair staff seem to prefer to post on other forums and seem to ignore this one. Corsair George has 1700+ posts on overclock.net and 75 posts here. If staff doesn't think enough to answer questions here, why should I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair George has 1700+ posts on overclock.net and 75 posts here. If staff doesn't think enough to answer questions here, why should I. What question have you asked that has not been addressed? FWIW, George is a product manager and not a web/forum/social media guy. It is NOT his job to spend his days on forums. A great deal of his posting at other forums is done on his own time due to his enthusiasm for his job and PCs in general. We certainly respect your decision to not visit our forum any more. We wish you the best of luck wherever you chose to spend your time. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeychgo Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 When a product manager doesn't think its important enough to participate in his company's own support forum to answer customers' questions, it makes me question the company's commitment to customer service. When the marketing person in charge of the forum makes excuses for that product manager, it really makes me question that commitment. To answer your question, I've been asking about the 760t availability for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene mauricio Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I just wanted to echo what most people have already said; this new "theme" hurts my eyes. Coming from someone who buys a lot of Red & Black Corsair products because it is his favorite color scheme - that should tell you something :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1220 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 After several years here in these forums I have to say I am finished. This new color scheme hurts my eyes and the option to change back was taken away. I wish all of you good luck. But I just can't take these colors.

Yellowbeard Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 As stated multiple times in this thread, we're working on an alternate color scheme to give users an option. We hate to see members leave due to something that will be resolved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternDreaming Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 im going to weigh in and say that i Like the darker look, i always have to have my browser tint things when going to the bright/soft/light blue/white that seems prevalent. im giving it a thumbs up and will be happy to see what can be done for member choice :headbang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 i still havent grasped the concept of not allowing the user to decide their best scheme,,the only one to see it would be the user themselves. i cant tell the difference between posts ive read and those i havent being im color blinded. and if 99% of visited websites are light colors and then going to black,,i have to stare to get my eyes to adjust to the lower light...

Yellowbeard Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 This is our first stab at an alternate forum theme. Those of you that were unhappy with the red / black theme, look in the bottom right corner of the main forum page and select Child of Black Red. Better? Worse?

kwisatzhaderach Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yellowbeard, thanks for the update. I don't care for it as much as the original, but it's easier on my eyes than the current black, and does help. I will be using that until something else comes up. Keep up the good work on letting us know what's going on. Now, if you could just get us an update on the Link software good or bad ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Try the other style at the bottom called "CORSAIR MEMORY". I don't get Link updates but I'll ask the guy that does to drop by when he has something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latharion Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thank you so much for giving us the option for easier forum reading. I get migraines and the black on red was not good. The blue/white/black scheme is so much easier to read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You are all very welcome, sorry it took so long. I was travelling last week for work so I have not been able to coordinate with Technobeard and get this done. He's MUCH better with VB than I am. ::pirate:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
