Illegible in Alabaster

Hi

I recommend you use the "Preview in Alabaster" function when you next edit this, (and do it soon). I admit to having no idea whether or not what you have written is any good, since it is so near to being illegible as makes no difference.

All the best

Alabaster makes a big difference, eh!

Hi agcBen,

Thanks a lot for letting me know! I switched to goo a while ago and then found out I could use different colour fonts on my user space. Since I never really planned for this to go in to the guide, I figured there was no harm in adding a splash of colour to it. How bad does that look in Alabaster, though! Thanks for warning me! smiley - cheers

If you're interested, I've changed it now and it should be possible to *see* the words! smiley - biggrin I doubt if there's any news in there for you, from what I can make out you know all the ins and outs around here. smiley - smiley

By the way, presumably you are unable (or seriously loathe) to see anything in goo. Is this a browser thing? A PC thing? What kind of a 'thing' is it? Just wondering.

Thanks again.

Definitely a Peachy entry. Have you put it into Peer Review yet?

I have nothing against goo. I like it actually and think it looks better, but I am used to Alabaster, and prefer the layout, particularly of Personal Spaces. I use my personal space to see what conversations have been replied to (sorry about the delay on this one, btw). And that is much easier in Alabaster.

Roll on the new skins. (Or skin up with the new roles smiley - weird )

Keep writing!

All the best
