The color palette is god-awful pukey. The white background here is so much easier to read, easier on the eyes. Like I said, Daddy has no design skill. Too many limitations in pre-packaged software. I really love the bullshit "I-am-leader-hear-me-roar" bullet points. Her love of the "grinch" makes me think she doesn't enjoy Christmas much. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love giving gifts.

Members RockHardNYC Posted December 6, 2018 Members Posted December 6, 2018 I took a second look at the beta version, and this time clicked in the Lounge. The sandstone backdrop is fine (I prefer as much white as possible), but each post has a white background. So it's not terrible. I decided to do a light dig and had some luck with the page numbers. Took me three minutes. I came across the Hooboy has left the building thread. The thread is a fascinating read. There are other good threads surrounding this one, such as Rick Munroe's tribute. I always thought Rick was a talented writer. Speaking of death, while there I discovered Tristan Baldwin's post about the death of TravelerNorth. I thought TN was a nice guy, and I know he and TB had a special relationship. I offer my sincere condolences. The site is in beta, so the links may not always work. Quote

Members Latbear4blk Posted December 7, 2018 Members Posted December 7, 2018 The upgrades over there are looking good. It is not just modernizing the interface's appearance. Inserting Tweets now is super easy and looks great. They are also working in a new system of warnings and time outs that seems to be functioning well. I have been banned and also warned (just in testing mode), all with the proper communications and letting me know why. The home page looks significantly more attractive, I think. Quote

Millions of people own Photoshop (tons of bootleg versions) and have no idea what's available in that program or how to use a majority of the tools.
