A few months ago one of the community suggested we tweak the design of our forum to make it easier to read for people with visual impairments. One thing leads to another and the result has been a quite far reaching re-styling of the site, which will be rolling out in the coming days
Gone is the distracting orange and instead we've rolled out a more appropriate colour scheme which highlights the important pieces of information in off-white to immediately draw the eye. It shows secondary and tertiary information in progressively darker shades of grey.
The front page has seen some minor updates with the slider now firmly sitting beneath the navigation bar and twitter images now embedded straight into the page for easy reference. We do post teasers on Twitter so it's always worth keeping an eye on that area of the site or by following @TractionWars on Twitter. The forum has seen similar changes with unnecessary information removed and the new posts given greater prominence over old content.
We've also simplified the thread icons to show more clearly which threads are popular, locked, moved and which ones you've participated in.
We hope you like the new design, which we've found much easier on the eyes during testing. Special thanks must go to @Pjosip for his assistance and feedback during the re-design. We had already reached testing for this new version when a weapons overview was suggested so it hasn't made it into this version. It's next on the list though so watch this space...
