Mark Spoils: New Design!

New Design!

I've had a couple people tell me that they didn't like the black background with white text since it was hard to read. So, we're trying this on for size! There's a poll to the right for voting on whether you like the new look or not and feel free to give comments below. The background currently is of the Orion nebula from a picture taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Ooooh purrrtyyyyy

Translations: I like it. The black on white was a bit of a strain on the eyes. Love the new background for the fishies!

So... I keep forgetting that I've bookmarked this page, but I still [Ctrl]+[H] to find it in my internet history because that's how I've gotten use to finding it.

OH and the background (somehow) reminded me of: http://www.thedailydust.co.uk/2010/06/15/nasa-dis...
(And special LOLs go to the title of the article)

I clicked Bow ties are cool and I like it. I hope that's allowed... :)
I like the background being subtle but distinctive. I remember the spoiler page for MRHP and because it was so similar I used to panic at least once a day cause I thought I'd posted a comment in the wrong one!

Because I am bored and need to wait a few minutes for 'The Next Doctor' to load, have a dance gif party for the new design!

I actually find darker backgrounds to be easier on my eyes, but thanks to Echinodermata I have F.lux now, so that should help. :D Besides, it's the Orion nebula, how can I say no?

(I voted for "bow ties are cool".)

Yay! I finally found the spoiler blog! I had heard of it but I had to search really hard to find it (i.e. googled it XD)!

Beautiful! Is it possible to do an image banner? I'd be willing to put my photoshop prowess to work!

Guyyyyyyyyyyyyys!
Lee from Blue (on 24 hour panel people, a comic relief online (and worldwide for you americans and others) 24 hour charity show) just said he didn't know what the TARDIS was!!! :O :O
And for people who don't understand how popular DW is in Britain, there was a gasp and laugh and a cut to David Tennant (also currently on the show)
NOT IMPRESSED LEE FROM BLUE!

So, I had a dream about Doctor Who and the Mark Watches/Spoils community last night. I was character from the Whoniverse, but not an actual character, I just knew I was one in my head. In my dream, I was stuck in a plot similar to a Doctor Who episode that I had seen. Only it wasn't an actual Doctor Who episode that has been aired, it just was one in my dream, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I kept trying to remember in my dream what Amy Pond had done in the non-existent Doctor Who episode that had the same plotline as my dream. The part that has to do with you all, is that at one point, I left a note on a shelf for someone to find (I don't know who, Mark maybe?), and you all yelled at me for posting spoilers, but then I was like, "It's not spoilers at all. Look." It turned out the "note" was actually chocolate, so I wasn't spoiling at all. Then I woke up.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

This comment is entirely pointless, but there is currently 41 comments and I want the 42nd. Don't mind me.

Yaaaay, a color scheme I can read! As one of those complainers, I like this design MUCH better. Plus, nebula = pretty.

Sitting at my laptop,clutching a snotty crumpled tissue. Genuinely concerned about my laptop touchpad due to the amount of tears and snot on it. I just finished watching Journey's End. I started crying ridiculously early on this time. I was sobbing by the time Donna saved the day when she was all DoctorDonna-y. Like, gasping, choking sobs, when you body convulses and your face twists into previously unrealised positions. By the time Wilf told the Doctor he would look up to the sky for him, I was an inconsolable mess. At one point I choked out "I miss you!" to Donna, unwillingly, and "Oh Doctor!" too.
This episode.
I need to go to bed.
