Certainly love the new "clan game" icon. The old one looked like some kind of wonky, voodoo looking stick-figure.

It can go back in - I just convinced myself no one used it just because I didn't. ( I guess not everyone has a 'wheelie' mouse)

I have a 'wheelie' mouse,but I find clicking once much easier than wheeling all the way up.
Did I ever mention I'm rather lazy? 😉

Did the letters (not all) change color from blue to black ?

There is a lot of contrast now compared to the background.

My honest opinion: Blue was better because it was more relaxing to the eyes. This black and white contrast, instead of the blue and white is more tiresome to the eyes. This means spending less time on RHP for me, not necessarily a bad thing though .......
...... AAAAAAAARRRGGHH !!!!!!! I just noticed the smileys are gone .... HEEEEEEEEEELP ! ..... RUSS !! ......

Maybe there will be a choice then between the different versions of RHP.

The <Reply> button without quote option has disappeared too ..... man, when was it they said the world was going down ?

We'll have to get used to it, but it's looking great! 🙂

Just 2 things, it looks like the board size has decreased a bit and the coordinates aren't so clear anymore. 🙂

Take my word on this, give it a few days, and then tell me if you still believe that.

I have been working on this RHP revision for some weeks, and during development, I have been using the live site in blue, and my development box in the new colours.

I grew to really dislike the blue text over time - and felt way more comfortable with the black text. (and I had been covertly sneaking more and more black text in over time anyway)

But I still welcome all feedback on this.
