Do whatever you want, it's your style now

Well it would help. I'm sure that a colour could be identified that is in keeping with the theme but make the links more obvious. At present, it's just a slightly brighter/bolder version of the whitish text of the rest of the post. Too subtle for my eyes. Links in black/cyan could be cyan and in black/orange could be orange for example. Nice and obvious and still in keeping with the theme (assuming that colouring them so wouldn't clash with anything else).

Or maybe links can be underlined or have some other device to make them stand out a bit more?

The link colors can be adjusted - if Tormentor doesn't mind.

Hmmm... having now not noticed links in 3 different posts until long after I read them the first time, I think I'm going to have to go back to a skin that makes links in posts more obvious. Shame because I really quite liked Black/Cyan.

The "height" part of the image is not explicit - that's what causes that. It's only the "width" portion that's being set.

No idea whats wrong with the poll

I do but, IMO, an improvement would be to make the "new sub forum post" icon a bit more obvious. It may be easier to spot at lower screen resolutions but at my screen res, it isn't particularly obvious. eg, in this attached screenshot, there is a new post in the news thread (in fact, the one you just made) but it doesn't really leap out enough IMO.

It's kind of the DRD version of Where's Wally/Waldo

Can anything be done there?



(and I have had my eyes tested recently so I know it's not that. )

Glad that you like the new styles

Welcome to education and, more specifically, computer policies established by Scottish local authorities. If I could update I would. Using ie6 is laughable. It's not that long since we upgraded from 5.5!

And I remember waaaay back, Brian at notgod.com (the owner of the site that Zdoom used to be hosted on) complaining about ie's broken png transparency support. How long has Zdoom been hosted on its own domain?

I always had a sneaking suspicion that MS were dragging their heels in properly supporting PNGs given that they were a free alternative to other image formats that had copyright issues (such as gif) but not an MS alternative. (Kind of like MP3 support was patchy compared to MS formats for a long time and ogg still is).

Isn't IE in its ninth or tenth revision now anyway? Using IE6 in the last month of 2009 is kinda like using Mosaic.

Transparency was never inherently supported in IE6. It was a flaw in Microsoft's design that I'll never understand. I'm guessing they originally had a PNG implementation that was relied on for one thing or another in the browser, and then when somebody realized that they needed to support transparency it was a last-minute deal that required a work-around to achieve.

In order to get transparent images, you needed to call a plug-in (which was always included with IE, but still inconvenient). That's one reason why I don't support IE6 anymore is because of little things such as this.

Someday, in the future, I might put in a script that executes the plug-in automatically, but... well, for now, IE6 is outta luck.

I hate to go "Graf mode," but yeah... IE 6 is a shining example of poorly organized and hacky coding, that up to the point when it was released, Microsoft was famous for.

Here's a couple of examples of how things look at work. Silly ie 6.0

Pretty sweet. I'm liking the Black/Orange one best

Nice work, I like the original cyan as well.
