No change from the original. Still looks like white text on white background.

I switched back to the white background - the only solution I could come up with to make it viewable on all background styles was to make the text all red. Do not like doing that but had no choice...

Thanks for the help - something to watch out for with the different theme style backgrounds...

So a pitfall of going over to the dark side of ECF?
seems like it, semi reported it on the dark theme thread as an issue. Dunno if they can do anything about that though, but just to let folks know. I am on the default, don't like the dark one

Yes me too. Tried the dark side but found my way back to the side of light.

Hmmmm... still looks fine on my end though - maybe it's Edge - lemme try it on chrome.

Ok, well now it looks maroon... on edge it showed just fine.

Sounds like it is a translation thing between the themes and the web viewer you are using... hmmm - if that is the case it would be harder to fix...

I am using the light one but not the old one. The darkside was cool but I like the light one. Not the original.

After using the dark theme for a few days - switching to the standard white view is painful on the eyes...

Even that post has me stumped...? In all my grand knowledge of bulletin boards, forum postings, etc... I can't figure it out either. Oh I loved the day when I dialed a number to connect to a DOS based chat room... or when I dialed my friends phone number and connected to their computer for some DOOM or DESCENT... gone are the glory days.

OK what about it mine is purple with red highlights. What is it supposed to be

When I originally posted it - I made the Mike part and the Date Red to make it stand out - I did not intentionally change anything else - I made it red, maroon or whatever you want to call it after Mike reported the problem to me.

For some reason when I made the color change on the two small parts - it messed up almost the entire post - got to be more careful in the future...

No worries man... tech happens - and when it does, it breaks. Just know you're not alone.

NAILED IT! Woot!

Hope you only used finishing nails - them 16 penny ribbed nails are a bugger to get out if you change your mind later.

Made my living in the tech world half of my life, but that does not mean I have to like it or understand it... :tumble:

Glory days at a blazing 300 baud?
