I like soft colours so it's OK with me

Much better for me, thank you Chris . . . not so much white space now and FF has the nice rounded blue border.

[Clutter]

Very nice adjustments Chrissie. Thank you.

[Chrissie]

Lol Jerry - I think I'd rather put up with the cat hairs

Glad you like the soft colours Scylla

Perpy, the outer border, is actually a very pale shade of grey

YW Clutter & glad you like it

Well here I am back again and all seems to be well now, everyone is happy. Well done, Chrissie!

My margins are 'just right' and I can live without blue or blue/grey borders perfectly happily if AOL is too behind-the-times to display such exotica.

I even have Firefox on the pc but rarely use it, I did spend some time this morning updating it to the latest version but then got horribly bogged down because it was grizzling about some of my Add-Ons (like Adobe Reader) being out-of-date and not compatible. Wasted some time trying to update those to keep it happy but lost my patience after a while (actually after the third time the Adobe Reader update failed...!!) and eventually gave up before my brain melted.

I've meant to mention a couple of times that there is one tiny, tiny thing which would be great if it were slightly easier to use: the "Jump to page number" thing at the bottom left when you have multi-page posts.

On my machine if there are (say) 5 pages in a thread, I hover the cursor over the "Jump to" bit then have to dive onto the page number I want while it is visible and click on it. The page numbers are only visible for a couple of seconds, so if I miss the one I'm aiming for or don't click fast enough, they disappear and I have to start over again. I do realise that owning up to this happening fairly frequently means I'm admitting to not being very good at aiming my cursor , but it would be easier if the page numbers stayed on view for just a little bit longer than they do!

If by any chance this too is an AOL foible, please ignore this totally - I get there in the end, and obviously will continue to do so.

[Chrissie]

Tetsy, I think I might be able to code it so that all the page numbers display, I'll see what I can do. However, you can always put the page number you want to go to in the small white box & then click go

Was it the adobe flash player update that wouldn't install? If so, thee is a known problem with it. -

Unless it's quick and easy I wouldn't worry too much about it, Chrissie - I can't help thinking that although displaying all the page numbers would be fine for a 5-page thread, this might not work out so well for a 27-page one. As you say, I can always enter the number in the white box. Just me being lazy - if there's a shortcut there I'll always try that first! Thanks for looking at it though - you're becoming quite the coding expert now; I am most impressed and probably a little jealous.

Oddly enough, the Flash update installed fine without a hitch; it was just the Reader one that wouldn't. Tried turning off the Antivirus etc, no dice, it repeatedly fails partway through the download. I've concluded it might possibly be due to my elderly pc still running XP when the rest of the world has all moved on and decided to ignore it. There are definitely parts of the new, improved Firefox which are inoperative as I'm not running Windows 7 so I may as well get used to it! (and basically the pc's had all the housekeeping it's likely to get this week now, life being far, far too short...)

Drives me nutz, Tetsy, always has. The numbers are too small for one thing, and they won't stay visible for another >

A phone that you can connect a carto to, now there's an idea
Jason, get them gnomes on it right away

Then you can sell me a phone

[Chrissie]

Glad you like the change Blakey

ROFL Jason

What colours would you like Jemima? Need some that stand out.

Also going to try & make the numbers larger but not found a way of doing so yet.

[Jemima]

How about a whiter colour for the pages you arent on .... then maybe some hot pink for the page you are ? lol (I know the boys would appreciate that colour)
