Forum Board Styles
Now that the old site is back up I logged in, went to the user control page, board preferences, then to My Board Style. In that I had and option of how the page was displayed. That forum had several styles set and you could choose which one suited you. The forum only has one style. It makes me think we could do a few styles.

In my experience, variations in users' interfaces can be helpful to those who might visually benefit from an alternative color scheme or different fonts to make computer screens easier to read and/or to organize content. It's an important consideration. Thanks for bringing that up.

Re: Forum Board Styles
Exactly. But I must admit Dave's design here is better than any of the ones on the other site. Dave really nailed the style. But I do think it could be tweaked a bit. To avoid computer conflicts we have areas that we take care of and the style isn't my area. I suspect at some point I'll make a style of my own but for now the wheel isn't broken.CT_Shooter wrote:In my experience, variations in users' interfaces can be helpful to those who might visually benefit from an alternative color scheme or different fonts to make computer screens easier to read and/or to organize content.

Re: Forum Board Styles
Hello,
I like the pale blue/gray background here with the BLACK INK because it is easier to read.
I like a forum that is easy to READ and post on without a lot of stuff on it that could cause it to malfunction, get a virus or have malware issues even if a person has a good firewall and GOOD computer protection.
One thing for sure, when a forum or website gets a LOT of ads on it... sooner or later you WILL have issues with malware and many other issues.
You name the forum, I can show you what happened to it over time. Yet, the site owners let it continue and do not fix the issue at hand.
You can even tell when you CLICK ON A THREAD on some forums if there is something in it with a person's post with or without a LINK, their signature with a lot of stuff on it or even with a picture and your computer will go haywire alerting you to this.
This happened on many forums not just GUN ones over the years.
I would like this forum to stay simple and easy to use.
I don't know about the other MODERN format forum stuff except that this forum seems pretty NICE to me and easy to use.
Thank you.
Cate

I like your signature and have no problems with it. MY computer has NO problems with it since it is a safe signature.
I am talking about OTHER forums where there have been problems with specific things that cause a computer to go nuts.
I think that you are kidding me but sometimes I have a problem in getting the joke. Sorry about that!
I am talking about malware issues, virus crapola and other things on OTHER forums from a to z.

Cate,
We plan to keep this one pretty safe. If anything gets to be a problem, just let us know. A member spotted the spammed that got through before we did.
