New BBS look?

New BBS look? - 27/04/2001 07:41

Not sure if I am having browser trouble, but about an hour ago, some of the cells on the BBS were turning shades of red instead of blue. I came back, and every thing was back to normal, but now it is red again! Is my browser taking a dump or is the BBS switching to a look that better matches the RioCar site? I was going to suggest this a week back, but never got to it.. Either way, I think moving to a white background would improve the look a bit... IMHO.

Nah, I definitely prefer this look. White backgrounds have really started to annoy me. I like sites like these to take the stress off my eyes. Plus, white would not go with these colors at all. If the colors changed, well, that would be too bad

Besides, why would they try to match the RioCar site? The sites don't even have the same name And I don't think PaulH was trying to match anyone's colors to begin with. empeg had different colors for their site.

I don't know, just my 2 cents

Darn, and I just rebooted the Internet for you, thinking that was the problem.

Actually, I was doing some word processing earlier today and got too much white out on the screen. I think that caused the problem..

If the colors did change, it wouldn't have to be forced on everyone... WWWThreads (the latest version) use stylesheets to specify what the color settings are for the page, so if the colors were changed in any way it certainly wouldn't be difficult to make a backup of the stylesheet and name it "Old Colors Which Everyone Loves", which you can then change back to in your profile... :)

The wonders of technology these days...

That is cool. I like how we can change the size of the compose window and turn preview on or off.

DSM owners are eccentric in general.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the stylesheets. Although SE, as far as I've been able to tell, you can't turn the preview off. I mentioned this to PaulH but it looks like he still hasn't fixed it.

I think that the preview off worked for a bit... but now it doesn't. I never bothered to try to turn it off again and just assumed that it was my fault...
