Do not copy-paste large amounts of text from other websites - Quote the relevant part(s) and write something on your own about the topic.

... which must agree with... always nice to see a few sentences of original CF thought to add to a quoted passage with suitable citation.

Avatars on the right is a bad idea.It's like reading Arabic :mrgreen:


:lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree. It would be better to have the Avatars back on the left, which one can recognize right away who the author of the post is. It is distracting, it being on the right side. Having said that, the new format is growing on me, so well done to the Admin and their new vision for the Cyprus Forum.

Hello,

The color scheme is something very subjective so it is expected that not everybody will like it.

Regarding the profile info, if within 2 weeks most of you don't get used to it being on the right then I can move it on the left. Please note that you can read who the poster is at the top left of each post. This layout is supposed to give more emphasis on the content of the post and less emphasis on the poster.

Thank you

I keep looking at the last poster's profile not the last post in any topic.

Strangely enough, I do not have any colour problems as some members are complaining about. I'm using a iMac with very "soft colours" as a background on posts written, so no complains from me at all colours.

The Avatars being on the right is another issue however! :wink: (will wait two weeks to see what happens)

It's the white letters with the pale blue background and the vice versa, that give me problems. I can't blame my colour-blindness, as that relates to red-green!

Agreed. A bit of red color, about 18% in proportion. You see, I don count the settlers.
