    So hi guys, it's me, you're friendly speedster and jackas$ Dylan.

    AS all of you can see now, we have this lovely layout for the summer, however as it was pointed out earlier today the background color, while decent enough to read...is utter crap from a design stand point given it's contrast to the rest of the site

    This is not at fault of the admins, since they left the background picture in the decision of us the users by means of a poll, sadly after all is said and done there were of course complaints. Myself included on the complaints department but I digress

    Anyway, while it was agreed that this color is readable, it was brought up that a Forest background would be a nice touch in the spirit of summer and as a way to liven up the background rather than a bland solid color that detracts from the lively look of the rest of the summer layout that included the wonderful header, picture icons for the topics as far as post status, and overall lively vibe of the inner sight bright color

    Now before I continue rambling like a baboon, I decided "Hey let's just load up google images and find some decent forest backgrounds to see what people like."

    So that is what I did, and here are the things I picked (Note only three because I'm lazy and these three reminded me personally of camp)

    #1:

    #2:

    #3:

    #4:

    #5:

    This poll is meant to be a quick thing that isn't even really something that the admins have to ahead to. It's more of a "Hey if you don't like the background, vote for one of these and see if it changes the admins minds"

    As such the poll will up until this coming friday at 10:00 pm Central Standard Time, why so late you ask? Well because I have a job and don't really have any shread of idea when I'll get home Friday.

    Anyway I hope you guys take this into consideration and if you decide not to vote then that is perfectly fine. As I said, this is not official, this is to see if the admins will consider changing the theme even with how "late" into the summer some of us feel that we technically are.

    If they don't then oh well, but if they do then that's just as well, it's all just a little trial idea.

    Anyway I'mma get outta here before I bore you people any longer, bye bye

    While this is nice and everything, I'd just like to point out that whenever we tried to put up a wallpaper, which is unquestionably better-looking than boring colors, we ended up with a repeating background. You should decide whether or not that's a bother to you.

    i believe that happens when an image doesn't have a large enough resolution to fill a whole webpage. you'll have to find backgrounds that are pretty darn big to fill up the page without it becoming pixelated and/or tiled.

    ...Soo I'm pissed off for other reasons that don't pertain to the site, if this post sounds like I'm angry about the next action being taken, I would like to formally apologize for that..

    But let's get down to the nitty gritty.

    As it was asked of me by Morgan, the poll is going to be closed temporarily. After a discussion between her and Josh on Whatsapp she messaged me and asked me to close it, explaining that it would give the admins time as well to pick some things to add to the poll and give more diverse summer feels options for the background. I have my own personal complaints about this however, at the same time I shall not share them because like I stated in my first post, this poll was never a guaranteed thing to happen in the first place by the time that it ended

    As such, I would like to thank everyone that voted on a picture choice as I appreciate all of you taking the time to read the situation and cast a vote of something you would like to see

    I am sorry for the premature closing of this topic, but I am sure that another poll with more options will opened as soon as possible and everyone would please come back and cast the same votes or different ones depending on the options, for the new poll.

    I apologize again for what seems like a fake out to everyone by me, and I hope that all of these matters will be taken care of asap.

    Hey guys, we're re-opening the poll. Thanks for your patience.

    The entries are screenshots, not pictures, so you know what to expect when we change the layout. (I apologize for the ads, I did the screens rather quickly.) Any questions, comments, whatever, you're welcome to post them as a reply to this topic.

    Poll lasts three days. Multiple choice and vote cancelling are on.
