MERRY CHRISTMAS!!  [santa_thumb]

MB...can you explain why in addition to red text, everything is underlined?

It's cool watching the snow here...now that I'm in Georgia, this'll be about the closest I get to snow!! (Praise the Lord, can't decided.)

PS, thanks Gerard for the awesome suggestion....it's great!!

Seeing snow falling on Collinwood as I logged in tonight has special meaning since snow has been falling heavily where I live tonight.

I wish it was snowing here.  [ski]  [60c4]  [snowball]  We're supposed to be getting some, but nothing so far.  [santa_cry]


the red type for messages isn't easy to read for aging eyes.

The red type is a tad difficult to read for us oldsters

You should have seen what the Arcane Magic theme was like before I got hold of it. It originally featured this color text against this color background, so it looked like this:

Umm - it isn't. For example, you post should be looking something like this:


I wish I could explain why everything is underlined in your browser.  [santa_undecided]

the garland that's supposed to display between the list of each category on the BoardIndex does not display in IE.

It's all very odd. The CSS code for the garland is exactly the same as that for the icicles in the header - yet the icicles display in IE and the garland doesn't.  [santa_undecided]

Oh, the joys of working with IE.  [santa_angry]

I like the theme. It is easy to see the type,  when we type.  The red on green can be a challange
but I can get used to it for a month.

Isn't this the only time that it snowed at Collinwood?

That's a beautiful image of Collinwood at the top of the page.  I would love to have one of those "It's snowing!" paperweights with that frosty Collinwood inside it.

It's all underlined on my browser at work too. I'll check at home when I get there.

Nice layout!  [santa_grin]

Thanks - I had fun creating it. And who knows, maybe in my spare time I'll make paperweights with it and sell them on eBay.  [santa_wink]

How odd. Patti and arashi, I'm assuming you're both using IE, but which version and on which version of Windows? As much as I tried yesterday, I couldn't get underlining to come up with IE7 on WinXP SP2.  [hdscrt]

I've just discovered a new bizarre problem: thumbnails of attachments appear for only the smallest fraction of a second and then disappear. Though at least the same thing is happening in all browsers, so it's not just an IE thing. But rest assured I'll be looking into it.

The thumbnails are back. However, clicking on them brings up the larger image on a separate page rather than replacing the thumbnail within the post itself. I'm not quite sure why that is - but at least the larger image IS displaying, so at least for now that's what's most important.

It would be!  [santa_wink]  Well, if I actually had spare time - and IF I actually knew how to make paperweights.  [santa_grin]


Oh, and BTW, bah, humbug, Mark Rainey! There will surely be a lump of coal in your stocking this year.  [santa_tongue]  [santa_wink]

I'm seeing it in IE7 version 7.0.6000.16546 in Vista Home Premium. No garland, either. These anomalies are not present in Firefox 2.0.0.11.

I also just noticed that the underlines only appear when the mouse pointer is within the IE window. In other words, if the window isn't maximized and the mouse is elsewhere on the screen, the lines disappear but move the mouse back into the IE window and whoa Nellie!
