Thanks, Desi... and I noticed my karma went up again. wooo... this could go to my head. (and now I'm just post very *friendly* personting... wondering what I evolve into when I hit 100 posts. if I evolve.) (gee... I'm normally quite tame in my language but I just used a web-common but rude term for someone who posts repeatedly just to get their post counts up... and the forum changed the rude word to 'very friendly person'. But I could have made this a whole new post, instead of modifying the old one... so I guess I have some scruples left. ;D)

Magpie:
I did see all the colors on the sample page you had posted, but I printed it out and those colors did not come thru on the printout. So naturally, a few days later, I had forgot what I had seen and was reading off the printout!
Well, if everyone likes the greens (and I do, too) I will leave it alone!
As far as moving up, I can't remember how many posts we set between levels! Didn't we post the levels on this forum somewhere....up toward Gaffer's Gab or the Istari help center somewhere? I will have to go look for it. Or I can go into the administration area and see what we set it at, too.
And good for you to have such excellent scruples!

I've discovered a problem with the Lothlorien skin. Let me see if I can explain it adequately. When I visit TR, I go to the page that has the 10 most recent posts. tolkiensring.proboards30.com/index.cgi?action=recentAlong the top of each post is a row - with a green background in the Lothlorien skin - that has Author Topic: (Read xx times) After Topic: the title of the thread should appear but it doesn't since the font color is the same as the row background color. I was kind of confused for awhile when I couldn't figure out what to click to go the actual thread (instead of staying in the 10 most recent posts page). I figured it was because I was dense but it was because I couldn't see the thread subject title. Now, once we go into the thread itself, that row is only at the top of page and the font is light. So that's not a problem. But, if I go to my profile and search for my (say...) 25 most recent posts (to find this thread, for example)... I get up a page of my recent posts and those thread titles are 'hidden' as well. The other thing I find distracting about this skin but not a 'problem' is the change in background color that happens when you hover your mouse over a cell. On the main TR page, if one hovers over 'boards' (like Istari Help Center or Palantir Post) the background color of the cell turns dark and the font is partially unreadable, partially difficult to read. If you go into a board and hover over a thread title, the font is completely unreadable. I do find this distracting and but since I can revert back to the lighter color background by moving the mouse, I can read it. I would recommend trying to fix the hidden font issue. The hovering color change is a call that you can make depending on how you feel about the issue and your time constraints. But the designer in me thinks it isn't the best design element. Thanks. M

I will let Stormrider mess with changing the font so that it is not the same as the background, but when you say hovering over a cell is it like you move your mouse over a section and that section highlights? If that is what you are talking about there is a problem with proboards and we can not change the highlight colors for some reason, maybe some day they will fix it and we can chnage that color.

Yes, Desi.. that's what I'm talking about. If it's a proboard function then we'll just have to live with it, won't we?

I believe I fixed this a bit. The text is not quite the same color as the background there now. I hope this works for you.
You said the background color turns DARK when you mouse over the cells? Is it highlighting as one of the dark greens that match the text color? Even the main forum page is dark? My main forum page will not change the highlight color to anything but the original dark golden color that is on the Gold Leather skin! However, once into a forum, the cell highlight was changing to the color I had changed it.
Anyway, I had the cell highlight colors set to a dark green and that was the problem. So now I have changed the cell highlight color to cream and that should be a big improvement.

You've fixed the problem, Stormrider. The light cream did the trick. Thanks. btw... I exalted all three of you for your perserverence in solving the missing image puzzle.

Why thank you, Magpie. I see you are now a Dwarf--which reminds me, we have not decided or finalized our levels for posting yet. I just haven't had time to think about it or change them even if we had figured them out!
Well.....Desi and I are off to
this week and won't be back until next Monday afternoon.
