I like that there is less of the colors, definitely a step in the right direction.  I'm going to join the chorus of reduced font sizes.

The color adjustment is better. I agree with others here, we are all getting older but I don't think we are quite ready for that huge bold font that's just stabbing us in the eyes! I'd rather zoom in my screen if I absolutely had to... 

Compared to what was there yesterday?  Stellar.

Liked the older format better, though.  AHHH!!! CHANGE!!!!!  I CANT EVEN!!!

Thank you to the 'powers that be' that continue to work behind the scenes to make Active Rain an enjoyable experience for all!

A lot better IMHO.  Thanks

I'm color blind so it doesn't matter. WHoa! Was that a red light I just drove through? Seriously; it's all good either way for us!

I do think it is more pleasing to the eye...softer is better...

you dont have to yell to be heard....

Thanks for all the constant attention to this site!

Yes, better, I like color but not too much( that's why my brightness settings are always low).

I like the look!  Redder reds and greener greens!

good call! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Bob Stewart 

The colors never bothered me.  I liked it better w/ the colors, but it sounds like I may be in the minority. 

I thought the issue is that they were too big/took up too much space, can only see 1 or sometimes 2 at a time.

I just logged in for the first time today ... I had not noticed it.  I will take a look and see.  Thank you and the tech team for all the hard work you do to keep the engine running. 

The other way worked fine for me, but even better in the new configuration.  Bill

I hadn't been over to check but will. Thanks for listening to the concerns!

Thank you for making the color adjustment..still nees to be toned down. Thank you for tweaking it..still needs more tweaking

It's a little better but I have to agree with those who mentioned the huge font...it hurts my eyes! Still not used to the big pictures but I can live with that better than the big font.

Better, did you reduce the font size too?

I like it alot Bob Stewart 

Bob,

I did notice, and it is still too much for my taste.  I think that the pictures look out of focus when they are enlarged.  So they end up looking amateurish. With that being said it is a vast improvement.  A

Much cleaner, easier to surf.

It's getting better and more professional looking.  Easy Read! 

I did not notice. Thanks for the improvements.

Bob it's looking bettter and not so flashy.  I am still not so sure about the big photos on main page but I do like them on the posts I do. They make posts pop online for sure.

It looks sharper, I like it much better Bob Stewart.  

I do like the new look, Bob. It is easier to read. Nice work. 

Yep. Right now I am on my iPad and see the difference, though minor, as you said @Bob Stewart .

I'm liking the new "flat" look of the site. Very "Apple"! 

It is much easier on the eyes, Bob. I feel it is easier to scroll through the headlines. Thank you!

Thank you Bob Stewart 

It didn't hurt that is for sure.

Good Job, like it, got my vote

Bob Stewart Yes, it look better.

Getting better - now just adjust the size of the headers and we'll be in business

Nice improvement, and yes very easy on the eyes.

Looks the same to me.

Now it compliments instead of dominating...Its like women's make-up bob

Bob Stewart In my opinion, the front page is still overbearing.

I rarely go to the Home Page but I just checked and I like it --- maybe because I saw my post there.   I can see a subtle change in color but I think the size of the graphic may be too large.  

Positive progress is positive progress! It is not as easy as people think!

Thanks for pointing out the change.

It is an improvement.

The ball is at the 40 yard line now, with lots of yardage to cover before it can be called a TOUCHDOWN.

nice change

I have a new computer I thought it was on my end. Good move. 

Honestly Bob I don't like it at all - it's constantly 'yelling' at me & the readership. 

I did not notice.

It's an improvement.

Yes, the color adjustment makes it much easier to read.

Sorry, I haven't noticed it, as I log on directly to my own page. Will check it out.

This is so much better. I didn't realize how much I had to brace and squint to go to the home page. It was like looking at neon lights. You got it right this time.

I had not noticed, but then I thought it was fine with both of the previous designs

I like the change much better.  Also like that you requested input in the rain.

I like it.

Looks great Bob Stewart!
