I’d love to see a mobile version of the site. I typically read the site on my iPhone and would love to be able to read it without zooming and scrolling so much. Content is great, that’s why I read it so often!

Surprised at the number of “Do not post again”s. Does this mean we don’t won’t NR to listen to our advice/requests? Interesting community we’ve got here…..

In the above, it deleted something I put in angle brackets. It should read, “you must have a (angle bracket) center command (angle bracket) where it doesn’t belong.

I think the black background here is fine because people (except for me) tend to type short messages. But on the postings forums, where people type longer posts, I think it should be black on white or black on light grey or something of the sort.

One thing you’re doing correctly here, but not on some of your other sites is that these postings are properly left justified. On the Leica site, all the text is centered, which I find extraordinarily annoying. You must have a command where it doesn’t belong.

I don’t find any issue with performance.

A year ago everyone was saying “Video?!? I want a better still camera not a video toy! Nobody wants video!”

Now it’s “Oh no! Nikon is doomed because Canon has better video in their DSLR!”

Sorry, but I’ll take a D300s over a 7D any day. And I’ll take a D700 over the 5DMkII.

So Leica have made a nice little camera. So who gives? This is meant to be Nikon Rumors isn’t it? We want more Nikon rumors! I just love them.

black/yellow backgrounds are a bit too harsh. Stands out too much when I want to not attract attention to what I’m doing.

Where’s Nikon? Canon’s getting a ton of buzz…even Leica is getting attention…but it seems Nikon is not very front and center these days.

Not it’s true that Nikon makes great stuff…and to a certain extent, many people just love and trust the Nikon brand anyway.

But Nikon needs to release something to shake things up. Their D300s announcement was a yawner, and now that model has been upstaged by the Canon 7D. Speaking of Canon, between the 5dii and the new 7d, they have videographers everywhere singing their praises. At a recent conference, the DP for 24 and the DP for many movies, including Terminator: Salvation, were singing the praises of the 5dii.

And yes, Leica manages to get in the act, and generate some excitement.

Come on Nikon…give us a game changer!

I’ve been involved in print layout and web sites for a few years. I do find black text on white background _generally_ easier to read. But one of the important issues is how much the screen brightness is turned up. If you overdrive the monitor, the white text bleeds, making it difficult for the eye to focus on the font. Turning down the brightness on the monitor does the trick. But a web designer can’t do that from afar, thus light gray fonts tend to help with that issue. This is somewhat of a patch for a monitor that may not be properly adjusted.

The same effect occurs with white text on black, but the effect is less noticeable.

I’ve had no problems with the site as-is. But I do appreciate the Admin’s attempt to get user feedback to improve the site. Highly admirable.

Keep the background black but the wrapped body white. Nothing is going to happen to the place or fans if you do so. For people with bad sight it is much harder to read from text with black background, and the eyes easily get tired. The template can definitely use a facelift. It looks too dull to me because of two color usage, black and yellow.

Have you tried pushing Ctrl + using the wheel on your mouse? Give it a spin. Most modern browsers are able to increase/decrease text size this way, IIRC.

If you’re using a Mac, I’m not sure what the equivalent would be. Apple key + scroll wheel?

Agree that the Post/Do Not Post bit is unnecessary. There will always be articles/threads that people do not like. It’s the internet. No one is forced to read everything. They can just move along to the next one if they don’t like it. Easy.

I like the black better myself. But like Tabitha said, let the users decide- make it an option. Notebookforums.com used to have that option. Haven’t been there in awhile, so don’t know if it’s still there or not. Was nice being able to choose black. White was just too bright for me.
