Hi Adrianne,
I hope the speed improvement holds. We made some changes at about
9:30pm Sunday.
We changed the discussion headings to blue just because it was
standard web link color, but the Bold seems unnecessary to me also.
If it bugs enough people, we can change it.

Adrienne,
Getting headaches from somthing you see might indicate some neurological problem. And then again, it might not. It couldn't hurt to mention it to your M.D. Better to know than to press on regardless.

I know what you mean. It comes at you like one big mass. It's tough w/o the last date and time of posting also. To me , the blue's not that bad, but you are right about the spacing! I'll follow the above advice and mention it to my M.D., but I don't think he can change the color of the FHb boards! Jeff
*My vote is for plain text instead of bold, also. Would make them stand out from folders too. Speed is definitely improved since last night.

Adrianne: Many browsers will allow the
i recipient
to change the color of links. Try going to "preferences" in your brower and poke around until you find it.

*I did turn off the bold and try to increase the spacing a little; so, the page doesn't come out at everyone like a big screaming blue wall.I hope that helps a little.DavidPS The debate over how to changes the button is raging even stronger in here at Taunton then it did on the boards - if you can believe that. So much for trying to be democratic.

Well Adrianne, I'm pretty jealeous! Looks like you got your wish pronto! Too bad the subfolders couldn't stay bolded like Rich suggested above.

Hi Matt,
It is possible to make the folders bold and the discussions plain. Would that help? I thought that the folder icon vs. the page icon was a pretty good distinguisher?

Well as long as we are tinkering....how bout toning down the white to a dull offwhite pine color...you could try colors each day till we all cry have mercy, no more changes!!!!
near the stream, loved the colors over a year ago,

Making that insider stock call!....Who else owned MEDX for the last six months!!?? and check out XLA for more stability over the long term CMGI should fly!
*I second aj about knocking back the bright white a bit.
*Do y'all remember the original incarnation of Breaktime had a soothing beige type page colour, which Sean ended up changing after the first year (?) to white supposedly because users of certain older Macs were complaining that there was not enough contrast to read the pages. .. I wonder if they've upgraded yet. At the time of that change over,it was suggested that individuals could tweak their own preferences within their browser, which is true, but as I found out, it also screws with every other site that you use, to the detriment of most I discovered. What I ended up doing was going back to the original default colours, and turning down the brightness and contrast controls on my monitor. . .whadda relief. . .it remains that way yet. . .no more glare induced eye wobble-pm
*I have changed the background for my home computer, but I access this site with my work and night class computer as well. Since I'm not the only one one these, I'd better not muck with 'em too much.
*David:Yes, I think that bold font on the folder names would help to further distinguish them from the regular threads. I think it would help the subfolders get more "traffic", and therefore, more people would use them to look for information and post their questions. The folder icons was definitely a step in the right direction, however, it doesn't seem to have much of an effect yet. Thanks,Matt

Hi Matt,
Will do.

Like the speed, although now I can't boil water for tea while it's downloading!! But.........am I the only one who finds the bold, neon blue color text heading (or is it heading text?) to be hard on the eyes? Between the color and the brightness and not enough white space between the headings, I get a headache real fast, and that's not even scrolling down yet! I know there's a study somewhere about just this kind of thing, of course darn if I know where it is or what it's in, but I know I read it, 'cuz we had people getting headaches at work, too, because of the color of the type. Maybe if a plea can be made to "sysop"???

Thanks much David. I think it will help.
I hope the bold font subfolders don't bother anyone too much. If it is a problem, perhaps the bold could be replaced with a larger font - if the software will allow. Sorry, I shoulda thought of that before.
