    Or is it just me? It's borderline distracting, and kinda makes me squint a little now. Damn that thing is bright!

    OK, thanks, I thought my monitor was freaking out.

    I think this might be the last straw... we may need to go start our own board... with good colors and stuff...

    I saw that thread, but my favorites link takes me directly to the forums, so I hadn't (and still haven't) seen the main page. I didn't realized that that thread also touched on the safety orange header.

    It looks hot pink on my cheap Dell LCDs at work. Hafta check at home.

    ...testing to see if this will let me post, when I try to start a new topic it says "There is a problem with your topic: topic_lastpost_author"

    What does this mean?

    It looks exactly the same colour as my sister's red Festiva that's been sitting out in the sun for three years.

    Weird, you don't have a name or a top border on your post. It let you post, but something is wonky.

    Hahahaha!

    Yeah I like the old top graphic better. The new one makes me feel like I need to wear sunglasses in front of the computer.

    isn't the website supposed to match up with the colors used on the magazine?

    Supposed to is the operative phrase.

    "#cc3320" is on its way, so the sunglasses won't be necessary for long.

    As I mentioned somewhere else in excruciating length and detail, you can't transfer print colors direct to web.

    Who knew there was a front page? I just go straight to the forum most of the time and rarely ever see the front page.

    I believe that's fairly close to the red you can get an MS3 in, no?
