New Forum Layout!

Hello Rotary World!

As EVERYONE can see, we are working with some new styles for the forum. We are excited on from the new layout, and believe many will enjoy the new reading comfort offered from this color style.

CHANGE! OH NO!

For those users who do not like the new change, or simply want the old color style; please follow these directions:

1) Go into your personal CONTROL PANNEL.
2) Go into EDIT OPTIONS.
2) Scroll to the bottom, and choose a different style under STYLE SET.


Thanks!

Mike

Not to be ignorant...but what color is the back of this screen? I am color blind and it is much harder for me to see this than the other screen. I guess it is better for everyone else to see. It really doesn't matter to me what color the screen is it's the content i come here for. Glad you guys are making it better for everyone. thanks, Vic

Its kind of a darkish blue color, with scanlines.
Its appreciated that they have made 2 styles available, and I beleive they are offering a 3rd pretty soon.

This one is default, and then you can choose the "old style" if you prefer the whites, and I am not sure what the 3rd style will be

I like the look of the new background, but it locks up my Windows 98 as soon as I try to scroll down the list of post, every time. I can't figure out why.

I was able to sign in at work (Windows NT) and change my color prefs back to the old ones, and works fine again.

If anyone has insight on why this happens, let me know. Ebay does the same thing to my PC after a few screens.

I like the old style better. I'm glad we have the option to switch back!

Cool!!! I like it so much that I decided to slip out of "lurker" mode and reveal myself.

Now... back to the shadows...

Baaa! Didn't anyone tell you that locking up is a M$ feature!

BTW, Linux doesn't have that feature.

Great layout BUT...it would be great if the little area of text that tells you if you have any message is on the first page displayed......perhaps right at the top in on of the unused areas left or right?

ok....I switched from new to old, now how...

....do I switch back to the new layout now that I've "seen the light"? I can't do it from the old white background layout through user profile and edit options.

I Have the same problem

Also the new style takes like 50 times longer to load and scroll, at home on my ancient Power Mac 7200/90 w/ Dial up on a 56k modem
