Switched to a different machine, and sandybrown it is. Actually, this is a very washed-out monitor, and I'm looking at it from a bad angle - so the extra color intensity helps *in these specific circumstances*. But on a high-quality monitor, positioned correctly, I suspect lemonchiffon would be better.Still "sandybrown" here. Perhaps you've got a cached copy of the custom_dark.css file? Or maybe just beer goggles? ;^)I'm still seeing 'lemonchiffron' here - 'sandybrown' must have happened while I was out at the pub.ARRRRRGHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhI agree. Edit - back downstairs on the daily driver, and a Ctrl-F5 to reload the cache. Sandybrown it is (by name: closer to salmon pink on the screen) Edit2 - (from Number Crunching) Code blocks are wrapping. That's not good for syntax. |

Finally found the secret. HDMI from my GTX660 to my 48' Sony LCD TV setting display to VIVID and WIDE ZOOM. I can READ it! It's BEAUTIFUL! ............... "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

HDMI from my GTX660 to my 48' Sony LCD TV 48 foot HDTV?? No wonder you like it. My gripe is that when following a link and returning it doesn't return to the place you clicked on but to the first place you started from. |

Edit2 - (from Number Crunching) Code blocks are wrapping. That's not good for syntax. Yep, they sure are. On the other hand, "Pre" blocks in the forums don't wrap and may stretch the page, while "Pre" blocks for Stderr output on Task detail pages have horizontal scroll bars (where it probably doesn't much matter whether the pages stretch or not). I think it's because those are standalone <pre> elements, while on the forum pages they're subordinate to <table> and <div> elements which must be overriding the "overflow" attribute. Anyway, they all now have white text on dark gray backgrounds. The dance of the deck chairs continues. |

The new thread icons are terrible. Nearly indecipherable. On the other hand, the new stats page headers look very nice. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I know someone is trying on the thread icons. I also remember the last redesign of the website. Someone got smart and hired a professional graphic designer and their name was home page. I think there was a reason for that. We have https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_forum.php?id=232, perhaps there is someone with prior experience who might be willing who can fit into the budget? As to the icons, in places they are better, and in places they are worse. Watch out for how they scale and how much border is around them. |

Anybody else tired of Firfox 'updates' occurring every 3 days? Worse than Micro$oft........... Maybe time to find another browser........... "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

Anybody else tired of Firfox 'updates' occurring every 3 days? Worse than Micro$oft........... I have used Seamonkey since the original Netscape went away. It has been stable enough that there have been no updates since earlier this year. I chose it early on, because it kept the email embedded. Try it. You'll like it. Meow.

My problem with the white on gray display is that 99% of the other websites I visit are black text on white. When going from SETI to those sites my eyes take a beating trying to adjust. There is a REASON the majority of sites use black on white. Not the simple vanity of being 'different', but the need to be READABLE. After reading someone 's suggestion, I installed Color That Site! then inverted the colors.  I'm not a believer of installing a plethora of unnecessary add-ons, I prefer a more streamlined installation.  But, why would it be necessary to surf the web fine, and be forced to Fudtz with your browser (add-ons or preferences) because of one site?  Additionally, there remains an issue with some pages not wrapping text and, oh yeah, I discovered this 'undocumented feature', which never happened previously. If there was an unsatiable urge to fix something that was not broken, then start small and only modify the layout. Barring self-control to do that and because the end of s@h is nigh, why not come full circle by using the style of the 'classic' site?  If not that, then why not utilize BOINC's style?  It's clean, it's fresh, not garish. Sad that at least 2 SETi devs spend their time on WEB-design issues instead of very topic of this project. Sadder still is that volunteer development resources (ie Raistmer, Richard H, et al) are being squandered on debugging the site's CSS instead of improving the science apps. NOTE - I'm not speaking for those gents, it's only my interpretation from reading these threads. |

I can see that it has gone from bad to worse... It is a pity that the resources weren't put on something that is more important, such a waste. |

Anybody else tired of Firfox 'updates' occurring every 3 days? Worse than Micro$oft........... If you dislike updates then go for a browser which isn't very popular. Many updates for Chrome/FF are just security fixes. Exploits are found on a regular basis and need to be fixed ASAP. Now, if you use some obscure browser you're less likely to see many updates because nobody bothers to find exploits for a browser almost nobody uses, and because there are much less devs for those browsers then for the "big ones". Or just disable automatic updates for FF and update manually whenever you like. |

Just to note that there is a lot of sensitivity to the readability of the website style depending on the device being used for display... I had a quite a giggle for an earlier comment about the site looking good on a HD extra-wideview 40-foot display set to extra-vivid... (ok, slight exaggeration ;-) ) ... Well... Moving from a graphics pad to now my normal computer monitor and, despite no 40-foot extra-vivid monster, the normal display almost knocks me off my chair in comparison... Two notes from that:
