Red? Time to buy a better monitor (or calibrate the one you have): it's exactly the same orange as before. We didn't change the colour of the logo, we just changed the text.

Hmm. They're all loading here for me. Try emptying your browser cache and forcing a refresh - or it might be a DNS issue. I heard from someone in the UK yesterday that they were still seeing Smartphone Thoughts on the IP of our old server that was switched over a week ago!

Our primary ad server is NetShelter, and if NetShelter has no ads to show, it rolls over to Tribal Fusion. If Tribal Fusion has no ads to show, a Google AdSense ad shows. So basically I have almost no control over what shows up...if you see something offensive, let me know, and I can go to the ad companies and figure out where it came from. Myself, I've been seeing NOTHING but Lenovo ads here for the past week.

I think orange and blue are good complimentary colors, but everyone sees the world differently...

Congrats on the move! Nice to see the unified login. Also, I feel the unified Off-Topic forums to be a good move as well. No need for 4 different OT forums.

OK, pictures are back again, I emptied my Temporary Internet Files...

Regarding the ads, I am not offended in any way but some ads are a little suspicious...(I know you can't control them). The one with "1000.000 visitor" pointed to a site where you would be "awarded" €1625 to go on a shopping spree..Sound to good to be true, and probably is. Then there was the pink side bar ad "Check your love compatibility". Both showed up in the forum view.
To me they just have nothing to do with things at DHT (new abbreviation!) and seems a little odd on this site.

Good to hear that's fixed!

Well, the ads you're describing aren't so much "suspicious" as "crappy and lame". Those are filler ads because you're not in a geographically targeted area where NetShelter or Tribal Fusion have any good ads. Are you outside the USA? What I can try doing is asking Tribal Fusion to block ads under a certain CPM value (probably $2) because those cheap filler ads are usually 50 cent CPMs...ultimately I'd prefer you see AdSense than something lame.

Yeah, horrendous, aren't they?!? Go Dawgs!

Seriously, though, nice changes overall. Primary font is slightly small at high resolutions, at least for my old eyes, but that is a common issue and one that is easily fixed by zooming.

Ahh, actually I had my laptop in battery mode so the screen was darker then usual. I dunno..i know its the same orange we allways had in the logo, but the way the solid orange bar is at the top dosnt look good to me.

As for the name..I think digital media thoughts rolls off the tongue better, but the new name isnt bad.

Cheers for the new brand! I was never confused by the "Media" title, but I think the change makes a lot of sense. It is a natural for your coverage of Windows Home Server.
