  Re: 2 Things...
 
(...) Let's try this... Let's try an old 1994 web design trick: Not setting any LINK= or VLINK= attributes at all in the <BODY> tag, and letting the browser use its defaults, whatever they may be (usually bright blue and dark magenta). How does it (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) <In best televangelist voice> "Ah cahn see!" To be slightly more informative: That does make a difference. The links are significantly more distinct, regardless of the size of the little box. It also doesn't detract from the impression of the (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: A lurkers opinion (formerly: Re: 2 Things...)
 
(...) I like it! I like it a lot better! Now if you could attach the message titles to the little blue squares and make a bigger mousing target I'd be completely happy. Well actually, while you're at it there is one more small thing, and someone (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) OK, now there's a way to switch modes when you enter a group area -- you can click the "Redisplay: All | Compact" links to switch views.

(...) Thank you! Lugnet looks wonderful with my colors (works well with the background colors, too), which I've found to work on just about every website I've been to! ;) Link color: R0 G128 B0 (Green) Vlink color: R128 G64 B0 (Brownish-Orange) Jeff (25 years ago, 23-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yeah, that's it! And the "gimme 40 more messages" button is even better. (...) I realize you can indirectly get to the set picture by typing the number in the "search newsgroups" box and then hitting the link at the top. I was just hoping to (...)

  Re: A lurkers opinion (formerly: Re: 2 Things...)

(...) perfect. (...) Oh! No! You're ruining it! So far Todd has done everything I asked for. Your solution would require actual work on MY part. Actually it would require ALL users to do extra work.
