No offense or anything, but I can't read any of the links on your page. That pale yellow does not show up against the white background. Have you considered putting in a different background?

I'm so sorry! I've seen my page in Alabaster, and I agree. It's truly horrible. I do keep meaning to do something about it.
It looks good in Classic Goo though. Can you try that?

The writing's OK. It's the colour scrolly thingie though isn't it. It does go other shades, not just yellow, so you could wait for that to happen.
You can vote for what I should do. Please choose from:
a) I just remove the colour scolly thingie (which would be a shame cos I like it).
b) I work out which are the light colours and change them to dark ones (which would be v hard for me cos I just nicked the code and don't actually understand it, but I could try.)
c) You change your PREFERENCES setting to Classic Goo, and see it as I intended. (My choice as it involves nothing from me!)
Over to you (and anyone else who would like to vote).

Alternatively Emar, you can type '&skin=classic' after the URL in your address bar. i.e. click this link below to see Coelacanth's page in Classic Goo:

Hope this helps

Alright, from this point forward I'll view your page in its true gooish glory! To tell you the truth, I'd completely forgotten that some sites might have been intended for 'Goo, as I'd been using Alabaster by default since I first registered here.

...Ahhh. Much nicer. Sorry for the inconveniece.

No, thank you for going to the trouble. There's quite a few people who have a "Best viewed in Classic Goo" logo up.
I'm working on changing the colours but keeping the pretty scrolly thingie.
I've done it!

Hmmmmm. Now, how WAS that done? Green in goo, but orange in alabas-AAA! Alliteration! NO! BAD!...sorry. Anyway, I don't know how you did it. So I'll just toss out a buzzword, and hope it's good enough to get me a prize: Something involving Javascript?
I've done it!

I know, I know. *jumps up and down, waving a hand in the air*
It does 'involve' javascript Emar, but I don't think that's what Coelacanth had in mind
