I actually changed to a different skin. The other one was a DreamWorks skin and it had a bright sky and clouds. What I was getting annoyed with was that I just didn't see it through LBTlover's and pokeplayer's points of view. To me it wasn't bright, but to them it was.

Lol, I actually thought the green added a nice touch to the forum Petrie. I really did.

It's a nice contrast of bright on dark.

For the record, I don't have any problems with the colors. (maybe it was changed since the first few messages but they're good as they are now).

Yeah they were changed and it's a LOT better now. BTW, I like the playlist.

You saw how people reacted to the green but everyone's cool with it after time.

I never really had a problem with the green thing myself.

Now the background....I don' t think I can ever grow to like it. Once CSS3 is fully supported in 2010, I'll show you how to make it so it doesn't repeat like it does. Then I'll like it.

EDIT:
Actually you can add the element right now. It won't do anything until 2010, but you can add it now so you won't have to worry about it later.

Code: on
body { background: url(bgimage.jpg) no-repeat; background-size: 100%; }

It adjusts the size of the background to match the user's screen resolution. Pretty neat huh? It doesn't even require Javascript to do it either.

You could fake it right now using CSS2, but you need access to HTML and I think Invisionfree only let's you edit the style sheet. If you can actually edit HTML, use the following code:

Code: on
html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

Code: on
<body> <img src="bgimage.jpg" alt="background image" id="bg" /> </body>

Code: on
img#bg { position:fixed; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; }

And you must put everything in a content element:

Code: on
<div id="content">All your content here - including headers, paragraphs, etc.</div>

Code: on
#content { position:relative; z-index:1; }

Then you have to have exceptions of IE of course:

Code: on
<!--[if IE 6]> <style type="text/css"> html { overflow-y: hidden; } body { overflow-y: auto; } #bg { position:absolute; z-index:-1; } #content { position:static; }

It's a matter of opinion, I guess. The color scheme does not hurt my eyes at all. There's nothing here to get worked up about. They're just tryin' to help, and even if ya don't need help, there's no need to get pissed off. As a Christian, I believe in lending a helping hand, but I also acknowledge that it is ultimately up to the receiver as to whether or not they accept the help. Believe me, sometimes constructive criticism and giving advice may come across as folks attempting to undermine your abilities, but that's not really what they're doin'

Tried the first part of code and it didn't work as I expected. I had to put the regular html code back in because I was hoping to get the image to remain in place, and the text just scrolled. That could be accomplished with this:

Code: on
<body background="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h141/action9000/lbtbgdarker.jpg" border="0"> <style> BODY { background-attachment:fixed } </style>

I don't know if there's any other way to do that, but let's not hijack this thread about Ratlady's board.

I like the playlist of songs near the top of the page, nice touch, and interesting idea for a theme and subject for a forum.
