Colour Swap Around?

Have you any suggestions for additional forums or improvements?

Colour Swap Around?

Postby || Andy || » Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:58 am

If we swaped the posting colours around so that post #1 would be white and post #2 would be blue..

Maybe it would solve all this border malarky..  :)

Straight from the horse's mouth  ;)

I suppose it is - but yabb seems to require manual html editing to get the actual entry pages to look a certain way - the forums are split up so the surround is one design & the content pages are another ....  ::)

I'll have a think as I can see your point. Thanks

As to the original subject....

Tests were made and the color swapping causes more (visual) problems than *just*  change the order of the postings.....

The quick workaround would be to create a first post (automatic blue background) with a quick abstract/story of the images and then immediately create the second post (automatic white background) WITH the images/captions, etc.
