POLL: Bulletin board "improvements"...

Date: 08/03/1999
From: Blinker

As you may have noticed, the Dominion has been testing out a new look for its bulletin boards. The current yellow background is being intermittently replaced, for a few minutes at a time, with a harsher white one.

It's probably just a coincidence, but this happens to match the change from yellow back to white for Sliders' episode credits. So...

1) Which look do you prefer for the board?
2) Which colour do you prefer for the Sliders credits?
3) Which font do you prefer for the links on the board-- the original Times/standard, or the new Arial/Geneva?

Just curious.

<gasp> Is that why the font changed?

I thought it was my computer being screwy again.... Anywho, the poll. I like yellow for the board, white for the Sliders credits, and the new font. (I thought it was pretty cool, just didn't know how it got that way....)

I'm with Robin. I like the yellow background. White is too harsh. And I like the new font. Glad to be informed about what's going on. I was really wondering about the change.

the font was different because I was sitting closer to the computer screen! I really only noticed that it was larger. I like it, better for my old eyes.

haven't seen the white background, but it sounds like it would be kinda harsh. stick with yellow!

as for the sliders credits, i don't have an opinion either way.

Ooooh! Ooookaaay!

I haven't seen the white background, but I think that a change from the puke yellow wouldn't be bad. When were the credits yellow? Interesting coincidence though. White probably for the credits. I prefer the old Times font. I get it now! The font is changed. Okay. (I kind of figured that was why, I just never put much thought into it, it's summer after all!)

Parajo- the not thinking hard

Seems I forgot to weigh in here myself... Must be because of that time I materialized inside solid rock, but miraculously escaped with only a bump to the head. (See thread immediately prior for that particular sterling example of Executive logic)

1) Yellow.
2) White, though partly because the yellow version was sloppily handled. The actual title "SLIDERS" at the end of the opening sequence had a nice shiny 'gold' texture to it, but the rest of the credits looked like they were written in a particularly tacky brand of mustard.
3) I like the original font better; the new one clashes with it when they appear together.

I like the yellow just fine, any warm color is fine, just NOT white!

I like to see white text on a black background (reverse-out text) for titles or brief headlines, but reverse-out is hard to read if you are viewing a paragraph.

I like the new font best. I have had problems with the old font for some reason (clipping of the g's, etc.). I think the new font is cleaner!

Thanks for the poll,
MZ
