I think it's a BIG improvement!

Thanks for running with that ball.

Nice to see we're no longer being warned about the site downtime this Sunday 3 Sundays ago.

 

[patracy]

Ooops! Got that downtime notice removed.

It's a shame because I completely overlooked the donation drive because the brain blocks out anything that says politics. I would never have seen it if we were not discussing it. That means many others that are not part of this conversation are never reading the fund drive stuff. Thanks for trying Andrew.

Chris gave me the green light to slim his notice a bit. So I've done what I can with it. I believe he still wants it to remain posted though.

Fair 'nough, all we can ask for. Thanks

Perhaps we could change the banner background color once in a while, to gain the attention, now and then.

Like Rick said, after a while, we block things out.

I guess I am in the minority, not only would I not even think of using a political avatar (I don't even have an avatar) I hate politics and politicians. Therefore I ignore anything political. No reminding needed at all.

Speaking of colors, it appears the background in the forums is green one hour, then grey another.

Is it just me seeing this. I'm using the same laptop. Are there two different servers with two different background colors?

I love the green. Reminds me of Las Vegas Casinos, and how they choose colors for mood enhancement. Grey is depressing, but green is gold. My personal observation is, I stay online longer with the green, and am anxious to get offline when grey. It's weird. Really weird.

Dell... maybe, you really need an "upgrade"...?

Anyway, haven't noticed that. So I just took some color samples... and will repeat that in an hour or two... MS-Paint will tell the truth!...

I havent seen a color change, but I do miss the green background. To me this gray is like watching a 1960s tv. I think I am beginning to show signs of depression.

 

[rickf]

Go all the way to the bottom of the page on the left corner and click "higher contrast" you will get the green.

That is so much better Rick. It makes all the differance in the world. You made my night. Now I can throw away my prozac.

I hope that's part of the issue and I hope the fix helps keep it moving Rick.
SteelSoldiers (Chris) also has a thread about the Wounded Warrior Fund which some folks keep bumping to keep it new.

Heck...I may as well plug it here as a temporary thread highjack (sorry DH and others).

We are up to $2075.00 and the goal is $7500.00 by 31 December.

Some ole cranky bastard said that if only 1,000 members out of nearly 42,000 members gave 5 bucks, the goal would easily be met.

(But you didn't hear that from me)

Can I have your old Prozac? PM sent.
