Jim Gilchrist Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi, Jeff I really like the new look for the board. I find it much easier on the eyes. Thanks for taking the time to implement it. Best regards, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am really liking this new look and everything is performing better in terms of function --- change is good. - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Trew Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I agree that a change of scenery can be good, and you do an admirable job of keeping it fresh. My suggestion still would be to consider spacing the "recent posts" section to make it a little easier to read (quickly scan) and to include a few more lines. Thanks for pointing out the expansion icon, but that goes to a page that is huber spread out, with the first lines of the discussion instead of a more compact view of the titles. But, as always, Jeff, a great job at creating and maintaining a valuable forum. gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Boisvert Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've got 2 beefs with the new look; 1- Quotes take up more room than the reply. 2- Links aren't highlighted. Petty stuff, I agree. But if you want to make this great resource close to perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've got 2 beefs with the new look; 1- Quotes take up more room than the reply. 2- Links aren't highlighted. Petty stuff, I agree. But if you want to make this great resource close to perfect... I was able to further edit the CSS so that QUOTES are displayed smaller than the text in regular posts and I altered the line spacing as well. Looks better, Thank you. Links are not highlighted but they do have a "hover" response to verify that they are links and confirm your cursor position. This seems okay to me... if you see something that looks like a link, mousing over it confirms that it IS a link and is clickable.

Laurence Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Jeff, just in case you feel like fiddling with it some more, your CSS code for the link states looks like this... /* Normal, standard links. */ a:link { color: #2b2b2b; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { color: #2b2b2b; text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color: #5b5b5b; text-decoration: underline; } Once you locate that, you would want to edit the color for a:link and also for a:visited by changing their hexadecimal values of #2b2b2b to something new. Perhaps pick a color from here http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/Color_Charts Laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Jeff, just in case you feel like fiddling with it some more, your CSS code for the link states looks like this... Laurence You're the man... thanks Laurence. I am getting better at CSS editing and I had located the style parameters you found that relate to the way links behave and are displayed. I just didn't really want to mess with it right now. Thanks as always for your help and guidance. - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Without getting too deep into the details, I can read the board without changing from my progressive bifocals to my computer "cheaters" so I'm still very happy with the new look. Everything else is a bonus. Thanks again for all the time and care you take with this board, Jeff. Best regards, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
