|

| When I read posts all the quote boxes are pink. Is there a way for me to change that or is that a program thing? If everyone's is the same, do we have a choice in the matter? If so, I vote for not pink. |

hehe I noticed this too. What colour do you think would be good for them?  |

| Wow, such service. If only I had that in my office. I know it sounds really boring, but I would vote for white, or even the gray. I think it's hard to skim with the colored background. But then, I'm an awful skimmer anyway. It may just be me. You can wait and see if anyone else has an issue with the pink. |

Thanks!
See I can get my pink on, when I want.
One more question, is it possible to have the recent topics scrolling thing nearer the top of the page? This isn't a big deal for me, just a suggestion. Much better the pink is gone. |

Happy to help
We're still working on the layout for the sidebars, so blocks are probably not going to stay where they are. I agree the Recent Topics block would be better closer to the top.

Now, while you're at it. Can you network my personal notebook in with my work computer? You move much faster than my IT guys...
Thanks for your work, indie. Hope to see you around on the forums. |

| While we are discussing quote boxes, one note that BookTalk.org forum users should note (and given the back and forth in some discussions, will surely appreciate!) is that with BB Code you can specify who you are quoting within the quote. Previously, many people used italics to quote people and if the quote box was used, you usually had to specify outside of the quote box who wrote the quote. Now with BB Code in this phpBB driven forum, the poster's user name can be included as part of the quote. You can notice the formatting and syntax of the BB Code if you click the "Quote" button on any forum post. |
