ot what's with the orange underlined print? 

Post#1 » by MajorDad » Mon Feb 11, 2008 1:51 am

this was mentioned in the old posters who have left thread.

what has happened to real gm?

Every time I place my mouse over a post, it turns orange and is underlined. if i move my mouse somewhere else on the screen the type goes back to black.

To whomever came up with this idea at real gm, I have to say it's very irritating.

almost to the BOILER UP point.

It has something to do with giving more "power" to realgm. At least according to the thread on it in the Feedback and Suggestions board. They have a Commish working on it now.

I really don't see how it is that big of a deal that it needs to be complained about. Has complaining about the Bucks finally gotten so old that we need to nitpick about something like that?

I find it so appropriate that the user with the name ALLCAPSGOBUCKS is putting this complaint down.

We don't until April. That's when the playoff race begins.

:noway:
I obviously type in all caps all the time.
And my user name obviously has a lot to do with the current situation.

When you are reading a post and you move your cursor over any type of URL link in the post, the font type will normally change to orange and underline in an effort to show you are highlighting a URL link you can click.

For whatever reason, the software here yesterday was functioning in such a way that whenever you moved the cursor into the body of any post, not just over a URL, the entire text was getting that orange underlined treatment.

They seem to have it fixed now.

I brought this up at home sunday and was told this:

"Dude, lay off the shrooms next time you log on. "



It's all back to normal here at work today..

it's back to normal.

the problem with the orange type is that it did not provide very much contrast between the type and the tan background. it was not a bright orange, but rather a rust or burnt orange.. those of us with limited eyesight had a hard time reading the text.

Oh, I see.
I thought everyone was just talking about the links turning orange, I didn't know you meant the whole text was turning orange.
I apologize for being rude about it.
