Hmmm, same era as me, so what's your real excuse

It is Simon, it was fine up until a couple of days ago. I do like that theme though, easy on the eyes usually

I loved my Atari 520 STFM. It was the best thing ever made

I actually prefer the default theme, I think its because its what I've used from day one and all the others seem too alien to me.

I think when I went on to another forum, they had a similar one to the one here that changed, and it was much easier to look at and less glary on the eyes, I changed it when we got the new board up and had it ever since.

Robby, I was asked to tone down the blue on the black/grey skin, so did so. I'm thinking of changing the blue to a completely different colour but I struggle with dark skins, so find it hard to find a right balance

Hi Chrissie,

I use the default theme, and must admit I'm not keen on the smaller Times Roman font on the posts. Have just changed it to the 'Blues' theme to see any difference and now can't get back to default. The 'Settings' option appears to have disappeared. This could be me, as it's getting late

Raffles, I've not added Times Roman to the default or any other themes & can't work out at the moment why it 's showing as that. I've got every area of text coded as Verdana or serif

Ok Chrissie, It`s just about unreadable now though, not to worry, I`ll use another one

Keep up the good work `gal`.

Lol Robby, believe it or not, I'd had complaints via PM that the brighter blue text on the black/grey theme made it unreadable I do agree with you though, so I'm going to brighten it up again to a certain degree.

Bomber & Jeff, glad you both like the Blue theme

PS Although the 'smileys' appear on 'Quick Reply' they don't work.

PPS Why do you always find problems when it's time to go to bed?

I have the same problem with the roman font, i have tried the other colors but the default theme is the best 4 me except the fonts

[Chrissie]

Blooming typical, I set aside this afternoon to go through everything again to try & find out why the default theme text in posts is different to the other themes. However, there is yet another Proboard glitch (reported by several on Proboards support), all the saved styles & CSS are showing as blank in that area of admin control

[Bluefish]

Used the blue since we started and all ok apart from the smileys on strike lol
