Ooooooh!

Huge props to whoever has Metafilterized us. Regardless of our differences, we are united in the love of a blue screen filled with text.

I couldn't help it. Mefi was the example site for a tool I wrote umpteen years ago so I already had the old css laying around.

I liked the white background better. It was much more professional.

I'm happy to put our background color to a vote.

I'm not sure using the logo from mefi is good idea

This looks a lot worse than the old version on a tablet PC in portrait mode. I liked the old version.

You can set a couple different themes in your user preferences.

I'm taking the logo down after a day, it's there for shock value, as is the whole blue mefi theme, really.

Chuck, is it truly broken or does is just look like mefi from a couple years ago?

jay: You can set a couple different themes in your user preferences.

Where is that? I don't see anything like that under My Account > Edit.

It's not broken (except that I don't even have an "Edit" link on My account page any more). But I distinctly like it less than the old version. I've put up a few screenshots of what it looks like on my home computer.

Oop, I had neglected to activate "change own theme". On now, and I changed Chuck and flatluigi's to default to the foliage theme. I also slopped up a non-infringing logo.

The more I think about it, the more I think this is a joke and I'm switching it all back in a couple days.

Could you please stop changing? I lose my auto login password each time and it is a hassle to keep checking my email account to log in.

Perhaps that's the switching between accounts, Meatbomb.

flatluigi, are you implying that gerryblog is my sockpuppet? Preposterous.

(Meatbomb: As much as you're frustrating me, you are arguably playing the game, and for that matter you're playing it twice as well as other people. Or three times, as the case may be.)

flatluigi - given that I already have three (3) votes, why would I need a sockpuppet?

#
  • By Aaron A Aaronson at 05/10/2008 - 11:38
 
 

Could you clarify that? I don't recall that being established.

#

jay, fwiw, i really like the theme. i like the blue. and it makes it feel more connected to that other site for me. as long as we can choose between different themes, i like having this choice.

Vote on that then, I was just about to turn it back to green/white. And thanks :)

Thanks for switching my preference!
