Format of negative comments.

Post by eman1_2 »

Not sure if this is the right forum or not.

Is there a setting I can change to modify the feedback look? When I look at a persons feedback rating, a negative rating is a blue text on a maroon field. Extremely hard for me to read. Is that the norm? Or do I have some board setting wrong?

Thanks
Mike

- A simple 'not interested' to a trade offer is just being polite. It helps people setting up multiple trades know where they stand.

Sorry.. you have it right. Dark text on a Dark Red Field.

Was decided to go that route so that you had to focus on what you were reading, if I remember correctly.
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Actually, it's because the Admin at the time (Pork & I were not Admin then) wanted all negatives to stand out in red. Unfortunately, they were limited on what text color could be used, as it is the same text color on ALL ref's.
The one used now is the one that was easiest to read (sadly).

We're kind of limited on what can be done with the ITL, since phpbb was not made to be compatable with it. Adam had to tweak it.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Smart and clever. Good idea IMO.

On topic: one thing that I do (as I get older :roll: ), because I also have difficult reading it occasionally, is to increase the "view" of your browser and/or copy-paste the text into a word document and change the background / font color for what's best for you to read.

Hope that helps.

Text from ref pages cannot be copied. That feature is disabled for... security purposes...

Bummer - worth a shot I guess. I use the browser zoom feature.

Print Screen/Screen Capture perhaps?
