If you mean the boxes surrounding quoted posts, I don't see any pumpkin or salmon, I see a light yellow.

Your monitor needs calibrated :- )

OH MY EYES!! Can we get at least one dark forum skin? Seriously..........I have to limit my use of the forum because I'm blinded by this stark, white screen.

For those of you that are using Firefox, there is a cool little add on called Color That Site! :: Add-ons for Firefox . You can change any of the foreground and background colors on the site, the contrast, brightness, etc. I find it extremely useful.

There is a simular add on for IE, but unfortunately I don't know what it is called.

I hope this is helpful for some of you.

Unfortunately yes. I know there is one for IE but I don't know what it's called. There may be other simular add-ons for other browsers but I only use Firefox.

If anyone does know or find the one for IE I'd sure appreciate it. I'm looking but haven't found one yet. And does anyone know if Chrome supports touch screen on a laptop? I know Firefox doesn't, since I have two sites I like that only work with it. I'd been trying to avoid having three browsers on the same machine, but I have to be able to do something.

Though in the meantime I'm getting a lot more done around the house since I have to give my eyes a break every 10 minutes.

Here is another option in Chrome:
Deluminate - Chrome Web Store

Here is what I found searching Google using the following "Color That Site! for Microsoft IE" (that can also be found here: https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/conversations/add Other solutions can also be found using the same wordage too . . . ) :

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. The new software is who wants to spread them across to other threads, not me.

How did you do it before?

If you have a bunch of quotes and only want to use some (and save the others), you can still add them all to the reply box, then just copy/paste the whole thing. Delete the ones you don't want in that reply and the rest you can paste into the next reply (if needed).

Supposedly this is available for those who use "Google's Chrome" it is free and can be added to "Chrome":

High Contrast - Chrome Web Store​

How did you do it before?

Before, I could mark posts to multi-quote, wander around ECF and mark posts to multi-quote on other threads, then come back later (whenever I had the energy to actually post) and just multi-quote whatever posts I had chosen on that one thread (without effecting any of my multi-quotes saved on other threads).

If you have a bunch of quotes and only want to use some (and save the others), you can still add them all to the reply box, then just copy/paste the whole thing. Delete the ones you don't want in that reply and the rest you can paste into the next reply (if needed).

Yup, pretty much what I'm doing now. I just wish I knew how it worked BEFORE I lost a bunch of the quotes I was saving to respond to.

 

[kathi17]

Am I the only one who is bothered by the alarming shade of pumpkin (or is salmon?) of the quoted post boxes?

I like the blues and the grays, but pumpkin?

That said, this new platform is growing on me. So many cool features. Kudos to ECF and thank you Admin and mods for doing a great job and for putting up with our constant whining.

And speaking of whining:

Spoiler

I still think that the User Name and Title should go above the avatar.

I'm glad you sad that, because I didn't want to complain, but orange, (or pumpkin), is my least favorite color. I think blue is a color that no one finds offensive.

Yeah, there are a lot of nice features.

That's all I could find as well, but it doesn't seem to play well with Xen Foro. I can change the background, font, etc. but a lot of the fields stay bright and/or just show up as boxes. I guess for now I keep using the 10 minutes method or try Chrome.

Why aren't the likes displaying in all of the threads?

I'm reading back, and threads I know I gave a like to isn't showing, yet there is a small link to "unlike". So it knows I liked it, but WHERE ARE THE OLD LIKES????

By way of example.
Triton Coil Complete Rebuild | E-Cigarette Forum

I liked this first post. And I know many others did, too.

 

[Katdarling]

Yeeouch. Changing all the colors, illuminations, backgrounds, fonts and all has given me one big Advil moment. Woah.

Katyaya, do you have the old green smiley saved somewhere?

If you mean this one: just type a colon and a D
edit: maybe that's not the one, since the one I posted is in the smiley list.
