New Colors

[Jacob S]

I have noticed that you have changed some colors. On the name of the threads you can read them even better than you could before but the posts on those threads are a brighter blue which may be a little harder to read than the dark bold thread titles.

What do others think of this change? Is it possible to change these ourselves?

[Scott Greczkowski]

No colors have been changed that I know of. :shrug:

Anyone else noticing any new colors or is Jacobs computer haunted? :)

Yes the colors are different.
Using the dark scheme here (I think it's an option)
Different font maybe too?
Browser is Opera.

[Nick]

No change here- NS 7.0

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hmm that's odd. I didn't do anything to the colors, unless Chris did (but I don't believe he did, although I could be wrong) :)

I like things that get fixed or improved without doing anything. :D

I did add a new feature today, on the top of the screen in the headers you can click a link which will let you make your own DBSTalk.COM email address. :)

The message text is the same blue as the text in your sentence above. Everything that was white is blue now, I think that's what the change is.

Screen cap for proof. ;)

[Scott Greczkowski]

That is odd... I dont have no answers. :(

Maybe Chris can shed some light.

Is this only hapening in the dark color scheme?

[firephoto]

All color schemes are affected. Message text is always blue it seems.

[Chris Blount]

I didn't make any changes today. Colors look okay here.

[Scott Greczkowski]

Colors are fine here, and I checked the site from 5 different machines in the house. :shrug:

Here's what I am seeing...

[firephoto]

Odd.
The "new look" color scheme is readable along with the other light background ones. Just the dark scheme is hard to read.

Must be just us Opera users suffering. ;)

I tried identifying the browser as MSIE 6 and various mozillas(an option in Opera) and it still looked blue. Looks fine if i open the page with IE though so it must be an opera thing or a quirk in the html.

DBStalk looks the same here. Only when I browse to the Sat radio stations does it look different.

[Jacob S]

I am also using Opera and so I am guessing that it is affecting browsers that are not Explorer or Netscape.

The ligher blue text vs. the black text before does make it harder to read on the posts.

Another thing it is doing is when I turn on graphics I still cannot see the attached images, and the graphics that do show up such as profile, pm, search, buddy, edit, quote, etc. are very wide and stretched. At the very top where it says user cp it is stretched to the width of the whole computer screen. This is very odd and it has not done this before.

[Jacob S]

I also cannot see attached images.

UPDATE to the last post, I can now confirm that the "all bold text" problem I am experiencing DOES NOT affect Mozilla 1.3 for Linux. Therefore, I feel it's safe to assume something is wrong with DBSTalk's code (and the same thing is causing both these problems in the two different colour schemes); but it's minor enough as to not affect Mozilla (unsure about IE)

I've been looking at:
http://validator.w3.org/
and when I check this site I get:

I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is impossible to validate the document. The sources I tried are:
The HTTP Content-Type field.
The XML Declaration.
The HTML "META" element.

"And I even tried to autodetect it using the algorithm defined in Appendix F of the XML 1.0 Recommendation.
Since none of these sources yielded any usable information, I will not be able to validate this document. Sorry. Please make sure you specify the character encoding in use.
IANA maintains the list of official names for character sets. "

If I select iso-8859-1 (Western Europe) I get a big long list of problems :lol: . I don't claim to know what I am doing with this code checker yet though. :)

Hey Zac, you could go through and fix all the errors and give it a test on your machine locally. ;)

Hmmmmm, seems like I heard about another web browser the other day.........

[firephoto]

I just meant you could save the html file and "play" with it to make it work on your machine.

I haven't been able to find a web page yet that gets the thumbs up to the w3c markup validator. :lol:

Downloading phoenix now to give it a try.

[firephoto]

Works fine with Phoenix, and I see there is a DBSTalk.com icon on the web address. (must of been an opera thing.)

[Steve Mehs]

Everything looks fine here using the Dark Scheme and IE6 :confused:

[Mike]

New colors for me. 5.5 IE - white background that I've had since Saturday morning. Had to get a new password too. Old one from the cookie didn't work.

[firephoto]

That sounds more like just the default colors since you aren't logged in or your preferences aren't set.

Just a guess though. ;)

[firephoto]

Just upgraded to Opera 7.10 for windows (linux version available now too!) and the colors are back to normal. This isn't to say that the colors weren't back to normal a few minutes ago before I upgraded. ;)

I'd been using Phoenix for the last week or so.

[Jacob S]

I am upgrading for sure now, I just read about Opera 7.10 and I am gonna get it.
