Preserved Topic: new look and feel

So far so good Doc....

It's getting there, I guess. Not much you can really *do* with this much text, other than make it all fit together somehow. I need to be doing some *GRAPHICS*, I be getting bored with too much scripting scripting and nothing else. :-)<P>Your pal, -doc-<P>------------------

I bet....mind must get frazzled after a while too. <P>Can I make a suggestion? Maybe it's just because of my computer settings (and my dark room and poor vision! lol) but the contrast of the bright orange lines distracts from the text - maybe it could be dulled a liitle?<P>and a question...what the hell is UBB???
<P>------------------

Yah, I could do that. Let me poke around with it later tonight, (no comments about your monitor or anything like that! :-)<P>-doc-<P>------------------

Oh yeah, UBB = "Ultimate Bulletin Board"<P> http://www.ultimatebb.com/ <P>-doc-

Okie-doke, the orange lines have been tweaked down, to #993300, how does this look?<P>-doc-

That's better. BTW, throughout the forum, when you edit a message among other things, the font is smaller than other places. (including our screen names.) Would it take a long time to make that font size just a little bigger, or is that too much of a chore?<P>Is there any way that we can change that thing that says "New Member"? (I noticed yours says "Freelance Terrorist"... hmmm...)<P>------------------

Hmm? It seems to be in a form window to me, typically fixed font size there. (Oh, IE will let you set the look and feel of them with a style tag, but it only works in that one browser, I usually don't bother.)<P>Hah! The "Freelance Terrorist" bit is how I always used to register my old shareware, I've been using it ever since, makes for some interesting spam, you betcha! "Dear Doc Ozone! We could halp you get even more business as a Freelance Terrorist!" Heh heh... <P>The FT deignation is for the forum owner only, that'd be me. At the start, everyone is "New Mamber", and then after 15 posts you're "Full Member". Any requests on what the names should be? <P>Your pal, -doc-<P>------------------

I just thought it would be cool if we could change that ourselves. Guess not. No problem.<P>Hey, maybe after a large number of posts, like 500 or so, you could become a "veteran member" or something... that would be neat.<p>[This message has been edited by Slime (edited 14-03-2000).]

I think "veteran member" is too clean cut. Maybe new members could be "virgins" and after so long become a "Two-Bit Whore" : )
<P>------------------

Hey DL-44, I agree. That definitely cracked me up. Maybe "floozy" in between "virgin" and "two bit whore".<P><P>------------------

It seems to have been changed...

Ya know something Slime, I'm kinda wondering if things might change again when the magic 15 postings comes around.
What do you think? <P>------------------<P>Finished wondering Doc...
<p>[This message has been edited by Phil (edited 15-03-2000).]

Wow, it changed again.<P>What is it; normal -> maniac -> lunatic? Then again, I don't think I have 15 posts yet...

the member "level" discussion reminds me of the bathroom labels thing we had ongoing at an old office I worked at... I was particularly proud of "Bats" and "Wombats" and laughed pretty hard when my "Dangling Participles" and "Split Infinitives" didn't last more than an hour.<P>-calyxa

Hah! That's a good one, I liked that! I remember I designed two bathroom icons for the industrial design department where I studied for a time, two blocky figures, identical in every respect, only one had an extra something hanging down. It worked, NO ONE was confused, but a few thought it too graphic, heh.

Would it be possible to set up a post counter so we would know when we were going to turn lunatics? That would be kinda ****!!!<P>------------------

The maniac moniker is too "flashdancy" imho, I'm beyond a lunatic so far as my present condition...hmmmm.... maybe after 100 or more posts you get elevated to the sublime degree of "committed" and after that "fubar" somethin' like that <IMG SRC="http://www.ozones.com/forum/cool.gif">
