RE: Distracting General Forum Page?

With all the symbols and flashing lights, does anybody else have visual trouble when they get to the first page of the threads?

I m having a hard time reading the actual subject lines. And since we have discussed muffins, perhaps someone could enlighten me as to what those yellow things are after the subjects.

They look like nipples to me[

sandykayakThose sandwich thingies are throbbing, as in throbbing headache. I think a different color would be more useful than throbbing sandwiches.

sandykayakMaybe they are the bells and whistles the new board has.[

sandykayakBut what the heck are those muffins for?

sandykayakYeah, the muffins. Everytime I see those things I want to go and get something to eat. And now it s the sandwiches.....Geez....Got to go see what is in the fridge. Be right back![

This hard to get used to -- I like to see the availability to " active topics since last login" like the old board had.

Are the sandwiches the things in the far left column?

sandykayakThey are actually fat little stars denoting your being a Charter Member as of Jan 5. One star means Charter Member after Jan 5. No more stars after Jan 31..

I ve waited a while before commenting in order to get over the " newness." I have no problem with the icons or the web design. My only negative, at this point, is the black background with yellow-green type employed on the General Forum page. I can read it OK on my work computer with its 22" screen. That is definitely not the same on my laptop at home. I have a hard time reading the topics. Surely, I m not the only one with that problem. I m not criticizing Dave or the enterprise. It s simply a case of legibility.

WidewaderWidewader,

How are you getting yellow type on black background. I have black type on gray background and its very easy to read. Hmmmmmmm

sandykayakWidewader, have no fear! You are not alone!
On my home PC computer, I too have the black background and greenish yellow letters on the General forum page, but on my Mac OS at work the page is gray and black letters. Why is that?
Well I noticed that on Internet Explorer the color is gray but on Netscape the background is black. Can it be changed?
