I like your new look. The old blue took a while for Firefox to load and was kind of hard on my eyes.

Yes. I could try that. Coincidentally, Coming Anarchy just changed their blog format as well. Hmmm….. Must be a trend.

You could also change the screen resolution and increase the font size. The template is 900 pixels wide, so it actually isn’t much bigger than the previous one.

I am at 640 x 480. If I go to 1024 x 768 I don’t have to scroll but then the print’s enough smaller that I better have my glasses on. I only asked because I made the same suggestion to my cousin when he was building a site for his PC security business. He told me that other people had made the same comment so he changed it as it was no big deal. He also said he was working from a different screen and he hadn’t realized that people had to scroll back and forth to view everything. But don’t change it just for me if 90% are happy the way it is. I can easily live with it.

That’s a function of the resolution you have your screen set at. My browser stats says that less than 10% of all users have a low screen resolution. What is yours set at?

Is there any way you can reformat the page so that we don’t have to scroll left and right to see it?

text color better?

——————————-

Yes, a bit better. Thanks! Up a couple shades.

As with any site revamping it takes a few hits to get used to it.

Oh, now I get it. I’ll see if there is another way to do that. But I had to turn it on when another massive spam wave hit.

Most of the blogs that I comment upon, that use captcha have it show up after “Submit” and I am apparently not bright enough to notice it on thhe way by.

So I hit “submit” and get slapped. And the priceless prose is gone.

You don’t explicitly delete it–the “stupid commenter” lopgic doesn’t preserve it. So I can’t just fill in the captcha and go on.

I’ll live.

Looks good. But the topics and content of this site has always been top quality, so please don’t change that.

I don’t understand the bit about “captcha”, Laurence. And I haven’t discarded any comments today except a one from a driveby who violated the policy in his first sentence.

Except for a text color change, this is an off the shelf template – I didn’t and couldn’t program any of it.
