showing as dark grey for me. Looks ok. Actually, taking another look, that doesn't go with blue either........

Looks black to me:p....might be the angle of my lappy!

I thought black at first, but on my top end monitor it is dark grey with a tint of brown - but either way it looks crap :p

Dear Sift - Please amend colour of footer asap!

I am less unsure about it...(Sorry Ray!)

It clearly separates Sifts other business interests from the main forum.

I think the wording could be more professional...or rather Sift could be more creative over how it promotes it's other sites....simply listing a few sites does not turn on anyones saliva...

Its very DOS like the new footer...

Does not bother me though, as I dont scroll down that far - but it could do with being a little milder ;)

I type on behalf of streets local who is now at the opticians because he is struggling to see having seen the banner.

Doesn't look too bad. Must have been invisible instead of brown black or grey, as I only noticed it now!

Ah, come on, let us have a little fun! ;)

Seriously, it shouldn't be brown - are you running sRGB on your monitor?

As with any business with multiple brands, there has to be an overall holding brand - in fact, we've got the same challenge on all of our sites (MyCustomer.com is the only one on which we've used this new footer).

Ford wouldn't change their blue oval to match the colour you chose for your car ....... and here I am comparing Sift Media to Ford???!!! :D:eek:

OK - my monitor has been re-calibrated today - and sure, it's not brown - it's crap :p

Fair point, but it's difficult to get the portfolio sites in there without it looking too cramped. I'll see what we can do to lessen the pain on your eyes in the New Year.

Can I post a website review for UKBF in the Private area? :p

They could do it in sky blue pink and it wouldn't bother me....might attract some new members though!! :D

Still can't get my head round why people comment about something I hardly ever see....I scroll as far down as 'posting rules' and never imagine there's anything worth reading below that!!! (Sorry, Sift, just how it is for me!).

Of course, that also means I don't click on your links! :redface:

Click on "new posts" when there aren't many and you hardly have to scroll
at all to see it, and the "posting rules" message isn't there.

But once you've seen it and been offended by it, surely it's not hard to ignore it? ;)

I've seen worse - and at least I don't have to put up with ad's all the way down the side of the forums etc!

It really doesn't bother me (were it is, Darren...forget that top of page stuff!) .
