I don't know if anyone else does this, but I primarily browse the news page and the forums by color. Instead of reading the thread and article titles, I look more for where the color is different; i.e. a visited link.
With the Interest articles having colored titles now, this MASSIVELY bugs me. Both because of the aforementioned reason (my eyes are looking for that slight difference in shade of article title color, not a drastically different color getting in the way), and because I think that the pink color doesn't fit with the scheme. If it's definitely going to stay with the different color, can it not be so jarring? The only other thing (other than possibly images) that has that pink color in it is the icon for the Interest articles, and it's very different from the rest of the color scheme on the site. Even a green color wouldn't be so jarring as eyes skim over the article list. |

I have to agree. These are intensely irritating. It almost as if the interest items have been flagged as the most important items on the site. If you want to differentiate types of entries by different colors, please pick a color that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

Only nit-pick I have is that I can't tell if I already opened the article. With the other color, when I click it, it turns a dark purple from my browser. Letting me know I had already looked at it. With the interest articles, it doesn't seem to have a chance in color after clicking.

I thought the blue had changed to a different color, instead of a different shade of blue, before! That's why it started bugging me so much, it makes them look like read links!

I won't say it's intensely irritating and that it's ruining my life, but I do think the color choice is kind of unfortunate since it's too similar to the "already clicked link" purple. I now have to pay particular attention to the slim difference in color to know if I already read the article or it's a new Interest article. Maybe some shade of green would be a better choice?

I tweaked a bit the colors on the front page. Better? (or worse?)
Keep in mind that we'll be switching to the ANN 5.0 layout permanently in a month or so. So I'm not going to spend a lot of time tweaking the old design. |

Thank you, now I know for sure when I read any article.
