Oh, joy.

Really I don't have a huge problem with the site, I actually think it looks much better now, but when it starts causing my friends physical and mental distress... well, then it goes against human rights not to speak up.

And besides, there's always room for improvement.

1) I've got younger eyes, so I don't really care, but one of the most common complaints is that the blinding white background gives a few people headaches. What I would suggest for this is simply (*gasp*) change the background color to something more neutral and universal like black or gray. It probably takes a bit of work with the table layout to find a good color, but if you set up a vote for which color people think would look best/hurt their eyes the least, I bet you could find some good suggestions.

On to things that really bug me..

2) The videos section. Kudos for even including a video section. However, it does take forever to play the videos, so if you could simply add a link to the bottom of the videos, it would make me very happy. Then I don't have to go look them up to watch them at a decent pace.

3) I know website design is harder than it looks, so this probably sounds a little naive, but could you possibly make it so that our avatars look the same as they did originally? People get a little intimidated looking at a blown up picture of an eye.

4) Please make the default font a little bigger. I know it's the same size as before, but really, that wasn't big enough either. I can see it just fine, but there are others who can't. And make it possible to space comments without using HTML, please.

5) Look at other blogs and try to be open to suggestions. I know, there's probably a bit of pressure to create a new design, and design takes a lot of work, especially with this many pages, and you all probably want to throw in the towel and tell us to design the dang site ourselves. But just remember, if we didn't care about the site so much, we wouldn't even bother telling you to improve it.

Just so there's a little balance, here's some things you're doing right.

-Adding new things like a video section for each show. That probably took quite a bit of work.

-I like the little blue box in the left hand corner. It goes well with my eyes.

-I'd love the blog summaries if they actually had spaces, or if we could write our own summaries.

-I like the new shade of blue, the old one tended to give me mood swings.

-I also like how the forum system is organized, but maybe try another color besides gray for the unread threads. I get a little lost otherwise, because I've got zippo hand/eye coordination.

Thanks for all you do!
