    The color orange relates to social communication, stimulating two way conversations. A warm and inviting color, it is both physically and mentally stimulating, so it gets people thinking and talking!
    well it's certainly getting everyone talking

      And this bit:

      "Orange is the color of social communication and optimism. From a negative color meaning it is also a sign of pessimism and superficiality."

        I have now got the same adverts on every page and am having to add block them every time - so obviously it's not working. They impinge on my field of the vine. I don't want to hear that adverts pay for the vine, these are rude and intrusive. I thought we'd been through all this and reached a reasonable level of understanding with our providers. It is just disappointing not big, not clever who ever is responsible.

        By the way, even with the ads blocked, the orange is ghastly especially with the green. These are the wrong contrasts on anyone's colour wheel. I'd miss every one here, I really would but this is taking the micky.

          CTRL + - enormous screen but no orange and minimum ads. Very Victor! Almost don't need my specs.

            Didn't see this thread before posting on the Blue Side Bars one - this colour is properly yikky.

            On my screen it's a nasty mix of orange and brown. Clashes really badly with the GYO top banner.

              But if the web fiddler was a landscape gardener and baker before having a twiddle with us should'nt the side bars be either plain concrete or all green, boring bushy things with dobs of mixed fruit, walnuts and cherries?

              I quite fancy a strip or checkerboard effect as it can't be any worse than how it was.

                I don't mind the orange/peach colour. I've got to the point where I just ignore the adverts. At least that yellow one along the bottom of the page has gone.

                          Re the annoying side ads:

                          Try 125% zoom ...

                            What I have noticed is when the screen is zoomed to 150%, the whole format of the vine changes to similar to phone/iPad. I quite like it.
