   (...) OK, lots of other people were having the same gripe about it. It's fixed now. (...) You're saying you have an issue of readability with the font size? Can you send a screenshot? (...) What if clicking "Brief" gave you #96-#77, and clicking (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        A lurkers opinion (formerly: Re: 2 Things...) —Don Heyse
     OK, you've forced me out of lurkerdom with the new interface. I realize as a lurker, my opinions may be less valuable than some, but since you seem to be open to suggestions... I like seeing the recent news on the front page, but I would prefer to (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

     (...) OK, check out the traffic page now. (URL) 4 messages is NEVER enough to catch up after a few hours of work. 20 is (...) The 4-message intro pages aren't really intended to be used as a newsreader. They're there as an invitation to see what a (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: A lurkers opinion (formerly: Re: 2 Things...) —Don Heyse
      (...) 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)

          Re: A lurkers opinion (formerly: Re: 2 Things...) —Don Heyse
      (...) 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...) —Jeff Stembel
      (...) You can always do what I did: put a link to the Browse Pause page in your toolbar. It is the same number of clicks, but you don't have to type a URL, and if you need to look for a set that you don't know the number for, all the data is right (...)

          Re: A lurkers opinion (formerly: Re: 2 Things...) —Don Heyse
      (...) 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. And I would have to add this to every machine that (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: A lurkers opinion (formerly: Re: 2 Things...) —Todd Lehman
     (...) 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. If you want to read just some specific group without its subgroups, you can also click a special link in (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: 2 Things... —James Brown
   (...) Yes, but for reasons too complicated to explain, not 'til later tonight. To hazard an opinion, I would suggest that size=-1/-2 is just too small for most uses. (...) More or less, yes. On an average (work) day, I'm accessing the 'net through (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: 2 Things... —Todd Lehman
   (...) 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)
   
        Re: 2 Things... —James Brown
     (...) <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)

   (...) 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)
