    We forgive you, Aaron!

    Everyone has a gastric indiscretion of the brain once in a while!

    Thanks for changing the skin back to the old one. My eyes especially thank you.

    Thank you!

    I'm sure I would've gotten used to the new scheme, but the old one does seem easier on my eyeballs.

    Thanks.

    The new color scheme did three things:

    1. Increased the contrast of the actual posts.
    2. Reduced the contrast of the interface, so it would compete less with the forum content.

    I certainly could have made the text darker and solved all of the contrast issues (and actually did because Keith was having trouble reading it).

    However, I turned the new skin on to determine:

    1. Compatibility of skins with a wider range of browsers
    2. The increase in load with a more stylized skin

    Both of the previous tests failed- some folks emailed me with trouble viewing in Opera and Safari (Mac). Also, the new CSS (stylesheets) caused much of the forums to render slower in IE7, about a half second noticeable delay.

    Thanks to all who gave feedback and participated (unwillingly or not) in this test.

    Hmmm !! It seems I slept right through the big colour change, and missed it entirely ... But apparently my eyes should be thankfull for this? .. Ahhh Ignorance IS Bliss...this time anyway
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore

    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    Every silver lining has a cloud around it
