okay i updated by forum a bit
i see some errors but they will be fixed soon
plz critique my new style!

Diablo 3 Community

That is looking good!

One thing that happened for me is that my eyes tweak out on the red text that isn't titles. So, the dates in the last post column as well as the link for hammergod are doing that.

i dont understand what you mean by "your eyes tweak out on the red text"

I think she means, "It's a bit hard to read." I find it so, too. The contrast between the blued grey and the red creates a bit of vibration. If you tinker with it a bit, you can probably reduce that effect.

so should i increase/decrease the brightness of the gray or red?

Do what you want -- you're the one who has to be happy with it, ultimately. If you like that red, keep it. Taste is very personal. I love that red-marbled divider, so I understand where the red type came from.

Me? I'd leave that grey alone, because it's perfect, IMO. I'd maybe grab one of those darker oranges out of your banner (the area beneath the first 'm' in 'Community' is nice...) and try that out. That might mean, though, that you want to change that divider to keep a consistent theme, or leave it. It's hard to say until we finally see it.

Let us know if/when you change it -- and if you can save different versions for us to compare, that's even better -- there are plenty of people here to toss in additional feedback. :)

alright i changed all the links from red to orange
i think this makes it easier on the eyes now

Much improved! Just for the sake of argument, try one more shade up, about as much as you changed it last time. Just curious... :)

The new version looks great and is much easier to read.
