Todd, I have made a rather startling discovery in myself, and I wonder if I'm alone. For the longest time, I was wondering why the Cool LEGO Site of the Week page wasn't linked to from the main LUGNET page. Obviously, I wasn't too bothered by this (...)

(...) I don't think you're alone -- I went through a bit of the same thing with the CLSotW icon. I don't have a problem with graphic links, it's more a consistency issue. Most everything else on the page is a text link, so I didn't think to click (...) (25 years ago, 30-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I guess I should chime in here. I didn't notice it for a while myself. (...) Very nicely. (25 years ago, 30-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Agreed! (Perhaps) unfortunately for Todd, the best solution I can see is for more small icons for the other links! :-, Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 30-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) A likely theory is: you've learned that random graphical links = advertisements, and mentally tune them out. I know I do. (25 years ago, 30-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Great!--glad you like it. BTW, here is a larger version of it, from an unfinished layout experiment last December (1998)... (URL) you think it's too big? On that page, it's 197x197 pixels and 15530 bytes. For comparison, the current CLSotW (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It's not too big for that page. (...) Even if you don't use the black bars, the layout changes would make the CLSotW page more useful. More useful for me, anyway--I'm an infrequent visitor, so I always want to check previous winners. Steve (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Another downside I just realized is that there's no longer any room for banner ads at the top -- not only do they look distracting below the other horizontal bars, but they also end up looking like a graphic title for the CLSotW site, which is (...)

(...) White text in graphics is ok, but white fonts are unprintable, and that irritates some people alot. KL (25 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Is white text always unprintable? Whenever I print a page with text in a table with its BGCOLOR set, it comes out great. Workie: <TABLE ... BGCOLOR="#000000"><TR><TD> <FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">foo foo foo</FONT> </TD></TR></TABLE> No workie: (...) (25 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish)

(...) Either will work if you set your printer preferences to "black and white". You may have to do this through your browser and/or your dos/windows printer settings (25 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.publish)
