Suggestion Box

[SparklyTiara]

Hello,

I'd like to ask that some color be added to the Community's new design. Almost everything is gray, black, or white, which to me, comes across as cold and sterile. I also find, oddly, that it bothers my eyes to some degree, which discourages me from browsing the forums for any length of time. Some background color may make it feel more inviting and pleasing to the eye. Thank you very much!

ITA!!!! When you first arrive to the forums the threads are in blue and then once you log in everything is gray and black. Some color is definitely needed asap!!! It's hard on the eyes and making looking through and reading threads and posts unpleasant. For some reason that was not the case before.

There's a nice range of text colors and shades that you can start threads with, or use to post replies.

Plus, you can use the following colorful emoji's :  

kittycat, smiley, girl, and heart.

And, there's color in the avatars, with much more to come as their pics/photos post.

Guess you didn't yet explore all of  the new options here before you started this thread...

Sooo, play with those features above, plus the choices for font type and size.

Yesterday I was able to change the color of the font but not today. 

The white background is really hard on the eyes.  The gray is needed to sub due it.  Anyone spending more than a few minutes here could get eyestrain from it!!

I feel the reply area background should be a darker color to be seen easier from the original posting.

I completely agree!!!

The color scheme is difficult on the eyes...not enough contrast. I've bern on 10 minutes this morning, and my eyes are bothering me!

And feline groovy:
I'd quote you, but iPad users can't.
Also, iPad users don't have color/font size/bold options available! There's nothing for us to explore before posting.

This one color scheme is it. So maybe the OP is truly limited, and that's why this thread was started? Not all of us have access to color/font size/bold/etc! 😳

Feline, I have explored all of the features. I was not referring to lack of color in things we can manipulate in my request, but color in the background of the forums. If you read my original post, I'm saying it's tough on my eyes (all of the white, that is), and that adding some background color may make it easier on the eyes and more inviting. Even if they just changed all of the areas that are gray to another color, I think it would make a big difference, aesthetically. 

Also, I believe we commented on the same thread in the Beauty forum about what we like about the new forums, and in my response, I mentioned the option to change the size, color, and style of font, as well as the addition of avatars. I don't think colorful avatars will be enough to break the harshness of the white everywhere, though. 

So, I'm asking for a little less white and/or gray in the forums. That's all.

All those colored fonts are an assault on the eyes! Please don't type in hot pink letters!! 🙀

The background needs to be changed and the font on the page needs to be a little larger and maybe in bolder lettering..  I will say it's hard on the eyes looking at a black and white page that's dull..  Not everyone changes the size or color of their font, QVC..

I agree with the OP.  All of this stark white background is hard on my eyes.  There's a lot that I like about the forum changes, too.  The white background is just difficult.
