Question Style Feedback Poll--Round 1!

I am simply trying to get feedback for what people think should be the default style to visitors...not what they prefer to use as I think there can be a big difference. What style do you think should represent the site to the world when they first come here? Here are the candidates for Round 1:

Candidate 1
Candidate 2
Candidate 3
Candidate 4
Candidate 5
Candidate 6

Candidates 3-6 are being hosted on the archive site but I haven't updated the titles to reflect that. I originally had a 7th option for the current default style as I know many prefer that, but want to know what people prefer out of these styles. It will be an option for Round 2.

Thanks for your feedback.

Re: Style Feedback Poll--Round 1!

Considering the bother, the current one is fine with me.

Of the candidates (best to worst):

1st cand 4
2nd cand 3
3rd cand 2
and for last place, it's a three way tie among candidates 1, 5, and 6

Hmm...more nominations would make that less likely.

How so? You vote for one. If there were two candidates or a thousand, you vote for one.

Re: Style Feedback Poll--Round 1!

I don't really need 1,000... I will be happy with 20-30.

Re: Style Feedback Poll--Round 1!

Yeah don't worry i got the joke. The lack of votes so far might show that folks are happy enough with the current default. I hate it. I will vote too at some point but strategically, there's 2 i like but will vote for the one most likely to get the most votes.

Re: Style Feedback Poll--Round 1!

Not to taint the voting, but I like the darker blue in #4, but the overall cleaner style in #3. I like the larger font and the edges around it. Thus, I am torn. Also, #'s 3-6 are free.

Re: Style Feedback Poll--Round 1!

I was torn between 1 and 4.

I went with 1, would be ok with either though. I tend towards the darker blue too. Just looks better to ME.

Re: Style Feedback Poll--Round 1!

For me its between 1 and 5, looks like 1 may do better so i'll probably go for that.

Will you add in the others (or at least 3 through 6) as additional styles if it doesn't become the default?

Re: Style Feedback Poll--Round 1!

Most definitely. It doesn't cost me anything...just minimal time. I think the 6th one needs a little work as the table spacing isn't consistent throughout, but I suspect that will get worked out eventually...or at least I hope it will.

I see ... you've always been attracted by the dark side ... haven't you?
