Hi,
After discussing things with Crix at the Detroit Fanfare about this forum, I have been made an administrator to liven things up a bit with regard to the look of the board as I have experience working with Proboards forums. I have altered the colors to be more Firefly like with browns for the Browncoats and green, yellow and navy blue representing the colors of the Independents flag. I added a banner to the top of the forums as well, to give us more of an identity than just the plain text that was there previously. This is still very much a work in progress and if anyone has any suggestions or comments, please let me know. If you hate the colors, please let me know that too. This is a community forum and we like hearing input from all members.
Thanks,
-BrowncoatKal

Another thing I did was replace the "NEW" button with a little Serenity logo. If you remember, whenever you visited a forum in which there were new posts to particular threads, you would see a button saying "NEW" indicating that there were new posts in this thread. I simply removed the "NEW" button and as I stated above, replaced it with a little circular Serenity logo. The "NEW" button feature is a really great one. Right now as this forum is still so new, it's not something that can be utilized to it's full potential; but when the board fills up with members and starts getting a lot of posts, it will be a big help. What the button does is take you back to the last post you were at the last time you were on. Say you are reading a thread and get to the last post of that thread and then log off. Five days later you log back on and there are now three more pages of posts in that thread and you want to pick up right where you left off. Clicking the "NEW" button or the Serenity logo as it is now, will immediately take you to the first new post where you left off so you don't have to re-read through multiple pages trying to find your place.

I do not LOVE the green and yellow for the threads, they are a bit too...bright/cartoony. The other colors seem to be a bit more natural, those two just do not fit the theme in my brain. Otherwise it looks really good!

as a Admin.. I don't see the board with the colors, it was only after I log off that I see them..
I figured out how to switch it for me, so I see it the same as everyone else now...
I've been working on here alot this last week and something was bugging me.. I played around with it and decided that it was the Yellow that I didn't like.
seems to be easier on the eyes now, what do you guys think?

I find the colors refreshing. Coming from the black/gray/silver of the JRS. Besides, this verse is more colorful.

The site looks good.
I really like the alternating colors for the posts.
You can really tell where they start and end.
Good job and Thanks for all your hard work Crix and BrowncoatKal
