Tone and Sue liked the brighter blue, I found a bit too fluorescent. So currently it's a bit less bright -- could Sue and Tone (and anyone else interested) tell me if it's still ok for them?

Paul,
Well ... Errr ... Ummm ... I have to admit I have no idea what blue we're talking about. I lost the plot on this one a long time ago and never bothered to catch up. I believe it's the blue used for links that we're talking about; if so, is it the same colour used for users' names? I've had no trouble with the blue for links, or names, at any time and it still looks OK to me.

An example of each possibility could be a good idea for those with "optical difficulties" ;D.

Or, for added emphasis: [glow=red,2,300]LINK [/glow][glow=blue,2,300]LINK [/glow][glow=teal,2,300]LINK [/glow]
Some of the darker, green/blue colours, look the best to me.

I see all the colours in the first set, and prefer the blue. The 'added emphasis' ones all appear in plain black. |

Users' names are links, so it's the same blue used for them. Vadim, thank you. It's not just a question of clarity though -- some of the reds and greens, when used across the entire board, look absolutely vile against the background colours of pastel blue and pale yellow. |

> background colours of pastel blue and pale yellow <
Good heavens - never realised the bits between the yellow were pale blue! Until made to look, just now, I always saw them as white.
I was fine with the previous blue for the links, Paul, but do prefer the now brighter version.

There are four background colours here: the grey page background, the yellow message background, the blue message background, and the white "Quick Reply" background.
Message text is black, links are blue, separator bars are blue gradient. There are some graphics for the buttons.
I'm planning on leaving the current blue for links unless other opinions emerge.

> So currently it's a bit less bright -- could Sue and Tone (and anyone else interested) tell me if it's still ok for them?<Definitely not as obvious as it was -- but at least now detectable (if a link is expected). It doesn't seem to matter which background it's on. (But why don't people say it's link when they post one?  ) Tone

You can change the color of the links you post. |

Paul,
Just to add my two-pennyworth's to the consensus. All the colours, as is, are fine for me.
G-E.

I feel as is is an idiomatic phrase.

>I feel as is is an idiomatic phrase.<Or legal: The term as is gives notice to buyers that they are taking a risk on the quality of the goods. The buyer is free to inspect the goods before purchase; but if any hidden defects are discovered after purchase, the buyer has no recourse against the seller. Any implied or express warranties that usually accompany goods for sale are excluded in an "as is" sale. But that, I suppose, prompts the question, "Is Legal English an idiom?".  Tone
