WotC d20 boards

Post by SphereOfFeetMan »

Gah. Take a look. The text color is hideous and almost unreadable:

Do you think this is a deliberate move by WotC to make the non-4e forums less pleasant, and to drive traffic to the 4e board?

Looks like the same style as some areas of the old boards used to have. Assuming you see shades of blue with black text withing threads cause thats what I see.

Try logging out and viewing the boards, you're in for a surprise.

I keep getting a failed login, and am horribly reminded of the default Windows XP Teletubbies theme - but not on the 3e boards - just the 4e ones.

I thought that was a fluke. I don't go to WotC that often anymore, but I check it now an then. I hate being force to log out every two weeks, and that time showed up yesterday. Now I can't log in either.
I had a signature here once but I've since lost it.

The main text color isn't that bad, except for the fact that links are dark blue against a light blue background. Are you talking about the banner at the top of the page, by any chance? That combination of blue-on-blue + crazy font is a bit of an assault on the eyes.

No, it was a hideously unreadable shade of yellow for a little while, though it looks like they've fixed whatever the problem was now.

It was really bad, though.
