Re: Should Chief Delphi's Layout Change (poll)


Thanks for you post, David. I was seeking an explanation from the OP, but since he did not respond, I'll share a few thoughts about your post.

So can I. No argument here at all. But that's different argument from what the OP posted, which seemed to be fixated on style and color.

How would these help CD serve its intended purpose? Well, it depends what its intended purpose is.
That was my point exactly. Unless you know what the purpose of CD is, suggesting changes looks like a solution in search of a problem.

Whether or not it's more appealing is strictly a matter of personal opinion. I don't find either one more appealing than the other. Anyway, on a technical forum like CD, "appealing" takes a back seat to functionality and content.

As for easier on the eyes, I'm not sure what that means. I can't speak for others, but my aging eyes get along just fine with CD's modest color scheme.


Bottom line: I'm opposed to change for change's sake. Folks proposing changes to CD should be prepared to explain (as you explained in your post) how those changes will benefit the CD community.
