Hey, I can feel your pain. Just don't go postal on us and shoot up a whole school of kids or something!

Oh, no danger of that, such was the force of your arguments that I had my gun melted down before it could steal out of the closet and kill me in my sleep some night...

You sure it's not one of those new T-2000 model guns that can recreate itself after being melted? Ya never know!

i'm sorry to post this again, but have you thought about the possiblity of a pink/yellow/orange combo?

[shyHeidi]

Pink?! Pink?! Why ??

[135711]

pink and yellow or pink and orange is very very dynamic, i love it, i look for it. i saw a very beautiful silk woman's suit in yellow and pink tweedish fabric, i almost bought it but decided against it, i'm going to wait, another suit i saw that was out of this world, and nearly bought it was a deep tourquise color, with a little shimmer to it, i may go back for that one. they were very fashionable, but the length was not my first choice. i like a 3/4 lenth skirt best. i like dark green and one of those shopper ladies got me to buy a beautiful dark forest green sweater, which i loved, but i just changed my color scheme, don't worry shy, the board is not like a command thing it's just writing stuff and anyone can object.

Well actually, Craig said I can make themes.
That would solve the problem of the navigation being in the way, too.
... I just don't know how to do it.

[135711]

how's this for an idea. in order to differenciate between the boards, you have one page green, one page yellow, one page pink, one page orange, one page whatever. maybe the fencing page should have fencers fencing as a theme, the water cooler could open with a real water cooler as a 'watermark' maybe bubbling ideas, or a cup of water spilling onto a strip, or maybe you could have little water bubble that move, or periodically a fencer pops up somewhere. in the fantasy page you could go **** ape and have like space warriors fighting, in black and purple with yellow flames and stuff. do it shy, make it happen, page by glorious fencing page.

How about all black and white, all text?

Haha. If it was me doing them, they'd look very cheezy... I'm not good at making things look cool, I've always had problems trying to draw dragons, etcetera, they always end up looking like carebears with wings.

it looks good, don't worry about anything, please. we go insane every once in a while. it's healthy.[i'm trying to add the egypt smilie and can't bring it up. don't worry, its the computer.]

One plus: The "search posts" function is much improved by being significantly faster.

One minus: The excessive left margin forced by the placement of the "Drills, Forum, Calendar, etc, faq" links seems an annoying waste of space.

Another great "new" feature is the fact that the information regarding "having read a post" is being stored in the website rather than in my computer. In my case, I hop between four or five computers throughtout the day, and in a given day I might only use computer A to check the forum, and not use that computer again to check the forum in a week. I find this one of the most useful "new" features.

shy heidi: i have an idea. if you don't like it, don't worry, but here goes.


You know the heading on the board? if we cllicked onto the headings we could bring up the last day's news first, the way emails are sorted. you can click onto any of the headings and it will resort by date, subject, byte size etc. Then we could eliminate the thing that says: select last 5 days, last 10 days last 20 days etc.



["oh honey, could you move the piano on THAT wall?"]

[shyHeidi]

It'd be cool to be able to click-sort, actually. This isn't my realm, though, I'm just a little graphics student. Clueless. So, hey Craig, I'm officially passing the suggestion on to you.

Can it be done?

[135711]

stop it shy, i'm being sincere. you don't understand!!! we have artists in my family, i'm italian, i keep getting a rococo theme ......whaddyathink?

[Craig]

There is a new 'horizontal' style for the forum.

As to other colors, layouts - don't hold your breath just yet.

For additional "sort by" functionality - That will be taken into consideration, but it's prob. far off.
