A couple minor gripes with the new look

[Videssian]

A very very minor bug I also noticed earlier:
If you look at a message of yours that you've just posted, there's an edit button. So far so good.. but if you hover the mouse pointer over it, it does say "edit/delete".. but I (as a community supporter) can't delete my own messages.. (I assume this is deliberate).. so the tooltip text needs to be changed.. (again, a very very minor issue)

Not necessarily, Videssian; moderators can delete posts. so it's accurate in that regard.

I kind of like the orange text, although we still have to unbold the unread threads. Michael is doing this for us in his spare time, bless him, and can't do everything at once.

Mark me down for disliking the orange...I really preferred the classic pale gold (not the recent bright yellow) on black and grey...maybe I'm just a traditionalist.

I don't mind having the unread threads marked bold. I even like it.

Guys, I want to point out something real fast - the recent "bright yellow" was the #ff9900 The SAME COLOR as it was before the board swap. I don't know if the background was a different color, I don't think so.

The point of multiple styles is to let folks choose their favorite. In the meanwhile I'll do what I can when I can to get this main style perfected. The only reason I went ahead and did the large text style is that it only took 2 minutes to do.

Oh yeah, forgot that, thanks Psionicist for remining me.

The a:hover color for links is a sort of dark green. It's kinda unreadable. Maybe a a:hover background color could adress that, or, more simply, changing the color to something closer to normal (like the bright yellow that has been dumped for normal links, I don't think that one at a time would be a problem).

Not a bad idea Gez - done even

The main problem I (and the visually impaired) have with the board is the dark-grey-on-black color scheme for read threads... This is hard to read, for me, on a good day, and requires mousing over to see it, on a bad day. Could it be lightened up to light-grey-on-black, or something?

I can live with it, if I have to, but it surely is annoying, on a bad day! Easy to read is a good thing!

This is what I designed the Large Text Styleset for. Stealth is another alternative.
