TWC needs a makeover - the teal is tired, and the board is bloated with too many fora per member. So what we're proposing is a complete facelift.
Got an idea what you want to see done to the board? Got a colour scheme in mind? Let us know here!

I like it like this, it has traddition, if we change now nobody will receognise us when they all creep out the woodwork for the hobbit release. Although maybe
we could get a hobbit movie area. As for the colour it is good, not too light or too dark or too girly.

I'd say brighter, more inviting colors, like sky blue with white accents, just to cheer the place up a little bit
I really agree that we should get rid
of the teal, its a little dark and dreary.

It's always been a fairly dark color scheme since I've remembered. Though I agree it's a bit dreary, I probably wouldn't recognize it if we
changed it completely. So nothing too bright. Blue is a good color. not a dark blue perhaps, but not a baby blue either.I love our font though (for the add
reply buttons) perhaps we could use that font for other links as well?
And maybe we could poke Link into designing a few banner ideas

Yeah a new banner would be great! It's been SO dead here lately, I think more than it has been in a while |

I agree, I think it would be good to change it up entirely to liven things up.

OK - new banner - done (thanks Link!) ... what are thoughts on this "parchment" style?
Or.. given that Bilbo's Book was red, perhaps a red-leather background pattern, with forum boxes in a creamy new-paper colour? I need input, people!

I'll see what I can do with red leather.
Watch Mandos for the first test...

I return from the dead...or, equally scary, from the real world! *WhoooOOOooo ghosty noise*
So. Hello all! I must say that I adore the new banner. Although this one won't be as easily made seasonal :P I'm not entirely sure about the parchment-y style...it's very attractive, but doesn't really say TWC. Although, it's quite a bit easier to read than the old style.   I may be sleeping but at least I dream Why doesn't "freedom of religion" mean "freedom from religion" as well?  I am feeling:  |

I like the teal... cool and relaxing.
However, a red leather look might be a new sophisticated look. I'm not sure what individual screens will see,
though. Right now apparently ME sees "too much bright yellow," I see something that looks really PINK! Aaahhhhhhh (runs screaming)
Oh yea, and I really like the new banner with Smaug and the Lonely Mountain.  "If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?" - Steven Wright

Secondly, as images of the characters from The Hobbit films are released they'll be added to one side of the banner. Over time it should have the complete ensemble cast, dwarves and all! In the mean time I can easily add Christmas tree lights to those trees and snow to the Lonely Mountain. Oh, and Smaug stole Gandalf's Santa hat, so expect that this Christmas.

It's soo pretty!
I see a light maroon color on this computer, but I like it. It still reminds me of Tolkien
