Thank you Thank you Thank you. No we just need to convince the magazine they need to rename their chat to Open House (good work, Ruth!). 🙂

    What color are you seeing now? I think I might need to clear my cache.

        Ann,

        are you really seeing it as blue? It is a Green here on my screen. The buttons are blue but the forum stuff is very much a green. Hex#669966 to be exact...SYSOP[email protected]

        1. thebttmline | Oct 10, 2003 07:27pm | #6

          #669966 is a web safe color - meaning browsers should render it correctly. It is definitely greenish for me...

            Thats why I was wondering how she was seeing something other than green... Sometimes we go with something other than websafe but must of the time we don't... Strange.SYSOP[email protected]

          Oops, no, the buttons are blue, but the folders are indeed green.  :-) AnnL; MotherHen/Hobby Farmer

            I'm getting Ann's colors: green folders and blue buttons.  The bar at the top of the page is still Torrid Taupe, tho.

            The bar at the top of the page is still Torrid Taupe, tho.

            Yes, but it's that color in all the forums.  :-(

            A very very slightly warmish green. Nile green, I'd call it."Our whole American way of life is a great war of ideas, and librarians are the arms dealers selling weapons to both sides."-James Quinn

    Bingo!  'Open House' is super!  It won't turn off the guys or the gals either.  Good choice.
