Hi people. I've pretty much figured out this stuff for the board and I am going to do my best to improve the overall appearance of the board. I am going to experiment with the 'skins' and other visable attributes of this board to make it more enticing and pleasing to look at. The design is too 'generic' right now and it's going to change.
I do not like shutting it down for maintenance. I just hate going to sites where you find them closed because they are working on them. There are times you will see changes to the design come up only to see them disappear by the next time you sign on. I am working on things and I want to see how they look. You can comment on what you'd like. This board is coming along just fine and we are always having continuous 'conversational threads' going on. We'll have several people posting to various threads and many of us just go from thread to thread giving our three cents worth.
We had a lot of 'visitors' today and I think we totalled 37 at one time during a 24-hour period and 9-10 members signed on. Looking good. Only thing is that membership number remains at 21. I am going to (with your help and suggestions) make this board more visually appealing. I want to 'wow' our visitors (and members) when they pop up the home page here.

sorry about that. I didn't get around to checking everything. Couple things I have to change back. Will fix shortly.
8:36 pm (wed) update: Having a bad hair day. Trying to change it back, but am having problems.

I use the most recent posts a lot, too.
I didn't think that 10 was enough and I'm not sure that 15 will be either. But, whatever works for everyone is good for me...
This ought to be exciting -- every time I visit the board, it will be a new experience with all the changes...

The situation has been remedied. Sorry for the inconvenience. Can not use a dark colored background for that because the link color does not show up. Have to go light anything on that. Looks good. Made other distinctive changes. I hope you all like them. Need to wake up some people with different colors. I will do this occasionally.

While I was driving down the road today a sign really "stood out" It was bright yellow with red and blue lettering. Really attention catching......... just thought I would share the colors.

I had a dark background last week and it looked decent, but the 'links' located on top were not coming in very good. I couldn't change the color of that font, because the whole thing would change and I want something dark.
As you well noticed, I made the background yellow for a few days and it hurt my eyes. The fonts came in great. I decided to go with this color for the time being. Looks okay. Don't panic if you ever see someting weird happening with the colors, etc. because the Mad Scientist will be experimenting.

RE: Yellow. I have the brightest John Deere yellow and green table cloth at the front table. It is the biggest draw you can imagine. My dad used to stick a yellow bicycle on the corner of his space. He used to call it the lure bicycle! Worked every time!
