No.
Your monitor is not faulty..
I have been giving gotwind a facelift, black has now been replaced with white, starting with the forum.

The new look main site will be 'live' next week.

Business as usual here.

You should take a poll on the color of the forum. I would vote for black it was easier on the eyes. As of now it looks like it was left out in the sun to long.

Hi GotWind
Ok, I'm not used to this white screen YET, but can I just mention that I think that the colour of the hyperlinks are too light/bright on a white background and I have to strain my eyes a little to see them.

The white is a little hard on the eyes right now. But it is easier to read.

Is there some light earth tone you could use to replace the white every other panel? That breaks up the monocolors a little bit.

I like this new colour scheme its far easier on the eye.
Perhaps you might consider changing the colour on the page that opens after doing a search, if you used this colour scheme it would be far easier read.

I think the light olive back ground colour makes it more easy on the eye now.
we'll soon get used to it.

I also want to get rid of the google adverts - they annoy me, it costs about $5 (£2.50) a month to do so.

Yes much better .. but as steevo777 said "the hyperlinks are too light" I think they could be a little darker. The google adverts dont phase me im running firefox with adblock plus add on a nice little feature.

A sneak peak of the new homepage a friend and I have been working on.
It would have cost me a fortune for his web design skills, but he is a mate, good to have clever friends

The ads don't bother me.

The 'links' could be brighter.

I'll get used to it either way.

Can you make it have the same look and feel like an Excel file?

This way, my manager will think I'm working.

:) Just kidding :)

I like the new page you have posted up, much more modern and hi tech! =)

I do think the links to the topics could use a different color, cant tell the difference between the one's i have viewed and not viewed.

All in all i like what you have done!

Nice work

Bit of a shock when first seen....but after spending a few minutes reading latest posts my eyes and mind soon adjusted to your new layout.
Overall okay....not as contrasting as the original layout,but a more refreshing feel...well done.
Cheers WM
