Sorry if I missed anyone else discussing this, and it is a little late... but does anyone besides me find that the posts on the "newsprint" background are difficult to read? No "getting old" jokes... please!

HEY! I resemble that remark! Course I don't suppose you can read this cause its probably on the newsprint background...and I have trouble reading it as well...not even nose prints on the screen help out on this prob.

There was a great deal of talk about his setup when it first showed up.
If you're having trouble reading the postings over the blue dots, you could try increasing the point size of your browser display.

Really? You can do that? Change the point size? Then everything else would be weird. Actually, I don't think it is a size thing. I think it is more of a contrast thing. I can just run my cursor over the text and highlight it as if I were going to copy it. This gives real good contrast.

Please let me be the first one to say...

DEEBS, YOU ROCK! cool

Well, I'm sure I'm not the first one to say it, but maybe I've said it eary enough to today, to be the first today?

The change to the background is awesome, even though the previous one was very much livable! You never cease to amaze me, you've very committed to this board and always take the time to make changes and address our concerns. Absolutely amazing and appreciated more than I can express!

Thank You!

Thank you so much for letting me know how much you appreciate it.

I'm glad to know the changes I make have a positive impact sometimes.

I still like the idea of halftone color, though-- so I've got another change now.

Is this hard on anyone's eyes?

I'll change is back to the mellower background in short order if it is.

Wow. Ask and the Deebs will provide. I do find this one easier to read.

Love the board.

Love the new Chat too - it's wicked fast.

Thanks Deirdre!
