I'm so glad you added that qualifier in your last sentence: most of Duke's opinions are simple. Very Happy

Is it possible to alter things so that quotes from previous messages show up with enough contrast to be readable?

Subject: Re: What you would like to see on bersalive? Thu Feb 10, 2011 4:32 pm

why the bifocals not strong enough?

Subject: Re: What you would like to see on bersalive? Thu Feb 10, 2011 4:34 pm

i'm actually thinking about the color and contrast on the board. my admin panel has a simple and advance setting, I've already made a few things that were unable to be reversed so I had to start fresh. i'll take a look. if i could get white in quotes would that be good?

I think I could read white on black or some other dark color.

Duke: Don't bifocals make you see everything twice?
Just askin'.

A quick reply box at the bottom is always a nice thing to have. Wink

You're doing well with it Calvin!

yeah, it's a great forum for a free host site. i'd love the quick reply and new posts thing like we have on the V formatted bulletins, but it'll have to suffice for now. there is a forum for forums on forumotion.com lol, so i'm learning alot. if i change the skin or version it might be there, but i'm going to wait a while until we get lots of new members and show some various formats/skins and let everyone vote on it. the first version i had i hated, because it didn't show categories, just all the topics.
thanks

So after coming back to my house and using my fairly large screen I discovered the font size I've had on for the past 2 days was way too small. I turned it up 2 sizes, but want some info from you guys with the text colours/background. There are thousands upon thousands of skins and versions to use. Some are very simple and some are quite elaborate and too much on the eyes. I have something (brain tumor, eye problem, lesion, optic nerve, hell idk which) that causes lines to move if I look at them with both eyes open and causes me to squint or close one to view clearly. I may be changing the white on black but that will entail a different skin. Feedback

So we've got an Ammo section - how about a general gear section? To discuss things like holsters, magazines, grips, gun safes, accessories, that sort of thing?

Maybe even a sticky thread with links to some of the vendors out there who specialize in Bersa-related products. Like holster-makers, grip-makers, and the like.

Just a thought. Depends on whether you want this place to be more of a coffee shop where we sit around and chat, or an information resource for Bersa owners, or something else entirely!

Might also add a section on Concealed Carry.

calvin:

i personally like the white print on black background. & i also like the "quotes" in yellow. all very easy to read.

you might also consider a news forum aside from the political forum. political forums get to be a catch-all for anything newsy.

news forum would contain the latest firearms related releases from the NRA, Gun Owners of America, Guns & Patriots & all the relevant stuff ncfly posts over there etc.

we all surf different forums so we everyone can post the links toany pertinent news articles.

It appears that the screen names of Admin and Mods are appearing in dark blue, which is really hard to read against the black background. I think a lighter color would be more readable.

interesting, on my screen they show up red. i'll work on it. it shows blue for moderators and admins too, yet I think every newest member is the same blue. i'm slowly tweaking it all out guys

Don't know if this is a problem, a clitch or what, but...
When I sign on, categories have a red emblem in the far left column, making it easy to know where to find new posts.
However, when I select one category, everything goes back to blue.

Lance when it goes to all the threads within that category look for a little yellow/white paper or folder looking icon in front of the thread. It's small, but that indicates the unread threads in that category
