Lurk Report HERE

I'm divided. I like some color but at some point it gets a little too distracting.

For me, some of the gray didn't show up well against the forum background, but that might just be this monitor/color settings.

I liked the purple until somepone added another post. (Notice the alternating backgrounds). The light background works fine - the dark does not work well.

Anyways, here's another post to put it back on the light background....

Well, hump!

I will do the next LURK REPORT using a table. Did use one for the LURK REPORT. So the background of the report won't change from post to post. Live and learn.

Comment: Deceided to add the table to this week's LURK REPORT .

Thanks, to all of you for the comments!

Wow, I like the fancy new look of the Lurk Report!

As mentioned by others, I also found that the grey was hard to read. But it's kind of fun that way, too.

It reminds me of an old game called Omega Race I used to play on the Commodore 64. You fly around in a little fighter and shoot down alien robots and ships. There was a settings menu to change the colors of the background and foreground. Normally, it's white ships on black background, but my friend and I had fun changing the colors so that it's something like greenish light brown on brownish green, so that everything was really hard to see. We took turns changing the colors for each other, and we kept adjusting it so that the ships were even harder to see with each game! The good old days...

Hmm... see they grey and purple work fine for these old eyes of mine. But, then the olive drab of the Shrapnel Intel Forums already made it hard for me to read, so anything is good, I guess.

Arkcon, they may be easy on your eyes with the dark background. But look at them with a light background. I can't even see the grey with it on the light brown background.

rags and anyone else, about the 'gray' being hard to read! geesh!! The 'new color added' LURK REPORT is a work in progress. I could already tell that either the 'gray' text, the background color or both need to be changed. And still do. I put in the 'table' so it was easier on the eye for all the 'purple' text. I will change it all for the next 'LURK REPORT'. Wheather the next report is with or without 'color'.
