I do see that the messaging does not integrate into the mobile app (app comes from proboards, not Ed for those of you that aren't aware). I'll keep an eye on the app but I will try out the message feature on the laptop. Sounds exciting.
I would like to say that I was chatting with many guys during the morphys auction using the old chat room and I would like to see a semi regular chat started based on general hellos from everybody, a vintage chat, a jumbo chat etc. It is a feature that many forums had but had been barely used either because of too many members to support or others have found quicker ways to communicate due to different schedules. Hope this new message feature works out.

Can we go with a little darker shade? Just a little?

I can see now the main background is a slightly darker skyblue while the thread post area is lighter shade of grey-blue... Nice!
I also notice a chat box at the bottom of the forum...schwEEt! I think I'll troll it now-n-then ;D

Y0, I am currently working on skins for RJ boards. -> I am just managing some color guide... You can try change skins in your account : -> profile -> Modify Profile -> Account Preferences section -> Select Skin: JUMBO NAVY(Currently skin is Ed-default) Will try other skins to let you have the choice... Then I will produce title banners (and robot-smileys) to make this forum nice and comfortable. Do not hesitate to give me some feedbacks through this thread. d^__^b Edit : sneek peek : s9.postimage.org/ff93fzuwv/RJ_skin_Jumbo_Navy.png

I like the dark color but its kinda hard to see the writing, maybe if it was white or orange.

So it's difficult to have an idea... each one got different screen set up. @ Chen : here are colors designation : s22.postimage.org/3ug58nsbl/RJ_skin_Jumbo_Navy_01.jpgTell me what colors is not suitable with black text ? I tried something soft.. Maybe it needs contrast (frame color vs text color).

It's getting better the text in the posts look better, it's just when you point over a section it turns the whole box orange and the writing washes out. I would change the orange to something else for more of a contrast with the writing.

Correct ! I changed it to the same color as background (outframe).

Now much better I like the red and it's becoming clearer to read, just the black text on names or text you have not clicked on yet is still too dark. But I do like it how it turns red after you click on it. Can you keep the section titles in orange, the section titles in red and keep everything else in light grey and not change color if you click on name or text or not.

Yep. Overhall colors are nice to customize, but "Visited Link Color" is the black sheep color to manage... So I let this Jumbo Navy skin in beta testing for us...
I am in progress on a Go Nagai skin... To be continued...

I like it simple: White background, black typo. Like our friends from tbdx.

The main light-blue background reminds me of the jumbo Great Mazinger's cuuutie-boootie thighs. ;D

I like it simple: White background, black typo. Like our friends from tbdx. I was thinking of proposing simple skins like this... Instead of white for background, very light grey is better for eyes. SOmething close to e-paper. Tomorrow maybe. -> Go Nagai 1 skin available.

Can you keep the section titles in orange, the section titles in red and keep everything else in light grey and not change color if you click on name or text or not. -> I just changed the text colors from black to Light Sky-blue... Here is the setup : Link Color : #848FA6 (Light Sky-blue) Active Link Color : #80181C (Jumbo Red) Visited Link Color : #C1272D (Mazinger Z Red) Having the links turning in red is a good way to have a quick look on sections we are used to vist and see what sections we are not often visinting : this could encourage to have a new fresh look on them... or keep us focus on our old habits. d^__^b And I just discover that .png file are working well for avatars.... (@ Silverdonz and Sagat members : will change your avatar in .png...) Btw, this Jumbo navy is now the default skin for RJ Boards. Time to test this in time and see what comfort it brings to us. Next step is to customize our own graphic design for buttons (Home, New Topics, Helps, etc...), bring a cool banner, and ANIMATED smileys !
