How do you see TFP?
 
So for the last couple of years everytime I log onto TFP my default view has been TFP green. Maybe out of habit or just laziness, I don't know that is just what it's been - until yesterday. I was outside on my rooftop and couldn't see because of the glare and so I changed the view to I-Bulletin. Well that got me thinking:

What is your default view TFP and what features of that view do you like?

Charlatan 06-26-2007 05:50 AM

TFP Green... any other version just gives me a headache and makes me nauseous.

It's like wearing someone else's clothes. It's just not right.

Jetée 06-26-2007 05:53 AM

See, I thought to create this exact thread because some other members were complaining that that they couldn't see the colored fonts of others because of the template that they were using.

I myself use the TFP Green because it is simple, effective, and makes the most of what is available(in terms of space).

It is the clean look of it all.

Insignia on one pc, VBulletin 3(white) on another. I don't like the green one and these two are more subtle, passing family members can't see what forum I'm in ;)

Jetée 06-26-2007 05:57 AM

That is queer... the poll went from a public one to one where the votes are not shown... :hmm:

Meditrina 06-26-2007 06:10 AM

I use TFP Green. It is easier on my eyes.

xepherys 06-26-2007 06:14 AM

fromBasics Dark. I much prefer a dark background with a light(er) foreground. This is a bit more terminal like to me. *shrug*

Martian 06-26-2007 06:50 AM

When I first came to TFP I used TFP Green for the simple reason that it was the default - it didn't occur to me to change it. I've tried some of the other themes since, but I keep coming back to TFP Green. That's just what I associate with this forum now, to the extent that the different colour schemes just don't feel right. Charlatan nailed it - it's like wearing another person's clothes.

Redlemon 06-26-2007 07:25 AM

Back when I used to TFP from work and had a really sucky monitor, I had to use a light-backgrounded version in order to see anything. Using my nice iMac from home, TFP Green seems to work the best for me.

ItWasMe 06-26-2007 07:39 AM

TFP green was a little hard on my eyes. If I ever opened another browser window, the brightness would bug my eyes. I was glad when I saw that I could switch. I use insigia. I occastionally use vBulletin-3, but I love the colors of Insignia.

Willravel 06-26-2007 07:48 AM

I use the standard vB3. It's simple.

Grancey 06-26-2007 08:03 AM

vBulletin 3 - This works best for me.

MexicanOnABike 06-26-2007 08:19 AM

I've used GREEN since I can remember and when Halx added the new styles, i tried them all for a bit but V bulletin 3 was the one that resembled the green the most.

So for now, it's only VB3.

Sweetpea 06-26-2007 08:29 AM

TFP green. For a short time I tried the other styles, but as Char. noted, it just didn't feel right. :)

vBulletin 3

Can't the mods look that up to see how many members use each?

fresnelly 06-26-2007 09:55 AM

VB3 because it blends in with my Windows colour scheme at work, allowing me to keep it open without attracting attention.

spectre 06-26-2007 10:26 AM

Green, only because we don't still have the old version of DarkCloud.

telekinetic 06-26-2007 11:04 AM

Am I the only one who rocks the ibulletin grey?

hambone 06-26-2007 11:21 AM

fromBasics Dark.

I actually had to check, since I never even think about it.

analog 06-26-2007 12:08 PM

I use Insignia. If "fromBasics Dark" was full-screen, and not narrowed in to the center like it is, I would use that, because I like the color scheme. Darker is better for my eyes :)

ShaniFaye 06-26-2007 12:13 PM

Green and green only. Back on the old board I used the desert one at work but since it disappeared its green at work too

World's King 06-26-2007 12:17 PM

Dark...


I like how narrow it is.

The_Jazz 06-26-2007 12:30 PM

Green when I'm in the office or at home and vBulletin when I'm on the road with the handheld.

This is the only one I have ever used. So easy on eyes.

Strange Famous 06-26-2007 12:44 PM

I agree. The others seem to stretched too much

If you scroll to the bottom of any page, there's a dropdown there on the left. I don't think that's permanent though, so to make the change last, go into your usercp and change it there once you find one you like.

Brewmaniac 06-26-2007 01:08 PM

Dark, easiest on my old eyes -

It did that itself - and it will not allow me to change its parameters now. ;(

noodle 06-26-2007 02:48 PM

I, too, exist on the Dark side. Specifically for the narrowness, decreased eyestrain, etc... but it also makes the avatars pop.

I think that's a local setting saved in your cookie, not kept on the board options. At least, that's the way it used to work.

MexicanOnABike 06-26-2007 06:02 PM

I think most people will chose GREEN just because it's the standard colour style. If you HAD to chose when you signed up, I'm sure many would pick the different styles.

SaltPork 06-26-2007 07:55 PM

I use 2e_Forest. With a widescreen laptop it's hard for me when everything is so spread out and my resolution being 1440 x 900, it's just too much work to take everything in with some of the other darker and full width themes. Though from time to time when I clear my cache I use vb3, but only for quick visits to check on what's going on.

alicat 06-27-2007 07:10 PM

Green for me. I can't remember how long ago it was, but the first time I saw an anouncement that there were some new choices, I tried them for the novelty.

I don't know if it was my sucky eyes that have "floaters" when looking at anything light/white or familiarity, but I couldn't handle anything but good 'ol Green. And so it stays...

Shauk 06-27-2007 08:43 PM

I'm diggin the insignia.

spindles 06-27-2007 09:44 PM

I-Bulletin for me. I just prefer black text on a lighter background, though people that use yellow text as a high lighter don't have this skin in mind :(

LoganSnake 06-28-2007 05:29 AM

Green is too dark and murky for my tastes. I prefer to the default vB layout over anything else that's offered.

Lady Sage 06-28-2007 05:41 AM

I like my I-Bulletin white. Crisp, clean and simple. The darker ones kinda make me feel gloomy. :(

BadNick 06-28-2007 05:42 AM

I guess I must be looking at TFP green since I never changed anything about the default setup. I'm happy with it, it looks quite different than the several other forums I check out every day so I have that "special TFP" feeling looking at it; a couple of my other forums are vBulletin so I wouldn't want this to be the same old thing. And I remember hearing that green was more soothing to the eyes, no idea if that's true or not but it seems to be OK.
