Sorry David Anderson, you and your new fangled website has killed this place for me. Not that bad Chris. Give the site a chance. |

Sorry David Anderson, you and your new fangled website has killed this place for me. No let him go. Although he has a point, the spinning stars look terrible on the black background. |

They have time to spend hours and hours creating this crap, but spending a minute to post about problems or progress with the project, is too much to ask. It probably took as much grey matter to work this change out as it did to bring us Credit New, and we all know how screwed up that is. Cheers. |

Now we know who's here for the science, and who's here for the social networking. Ouch - a big white text edit box comes as a bit of a shock in a dark website on a dark winter's evening. |

Where's the option to change the background colours? |

Where's the option to change the background colours? Tut is right, I already looked, no adjustment is possible from our end, hopefully Eric could do something, yeah that's a "hail mary pass", but what else can We do? Besides post about this...

Now we know who's here for the science, and who's here for the social networking. If it were not for the "Social Networking" done here. Some if not more would not be doing the "science" that gets done here. |

I think some of you people forget that The University of California owns this forum and they occasionally use it for educational purposes. I seriously doubt that the Seti scientists suddenly decide to recode the forum. It is most likely that a student is learning or practicing coding in a real world environment Get a grip people. |

I will say that I don't like it but the main reason is that this is much harder for me to read. That seems to be the trend. As eyes get older they start to loose the ability to certain colors. This grey on grey is really hard to see. |

I can read it, though not without My 8 or 9 year old glasses, but then I have a 1600x900 screen, and I upped the font size years ago, at 56 I'm still young, but then I'm not 83 like My Cousin. Not yet at least. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

For future reference: Perhaps, participants' views could be solicited, before any changes made? |

Well I would not hire the guy who coded this without a user option for "classic". And I certainly wouldn't hire the guy who let him/her, because in the real world your suppliers matter. |

Posting to let everyone know to GO TO Number Crunching, GO TO the "Panic Mode...(103)..." Thread, find HAL9000's Post with a Link to Color-That-Site for Firefox. (If you have Firefox, that is...) Click said Link and Install Color-That-Site. Upon completion of Install, you will be prompted to Restart FF. Upon Restart of FF, go to SETI@Home Page: Go Here. THEN with the SETI@Home Page from above Open, GO TO "Tools" ---> Color That Site For me, at that point, ALL I had to do was go to Background Colors ---> "Invert Colors" - (Check Box) Then Foreground Colors ---> "Invert Colors" - (Check Box) THEN go up and hit Save. For some reason, at first, NOT every part of the Forum got Inverted... I had to set a couple of Pages in the Forum... All of a sudden, the WHOLE Site GOT FIXED!!! NOW, I have a Light Gray Background and Black Text all through the Site. UNFORTUNATELY, by Inverting the Color Scheme, my Sig is adversely affected. Natural Sig for me is Blue Text for "Have TARDIS will travel" and "Pluto is still a planet"... NOW with the Inversion, the Sig is Yellow. I'll GLADLY take the Yellow Sig if I can have the Light Gray Background with Black Text EVERYWHERE else!!! 😃 😃 😃 😃 TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

I tried invert on both background and foreground, plus separately, no dice, I could not read the page at all in FF 48. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Somebody needs to attend Psychology 101 classes. At least the previous settings were pleasing to the eyes, this is nothing short of depressing. |
