ToolmakerForums are up...
Gentlemen,(and Ladies, I didn't forget you, Ann!) I finally got around to getting the forums up on my site. The address is:
http://thisoldshed.proboards38.com/index.cgi. Keep in mind this is a sight devoted to tinkerers and not to the extermination of
Felinus Domesticus. You're welcome to post
On Topic. Yes, regisration is required, mostly to keep out the spammers. The exception is the "Problems/Questions" forum, because I know that the antispamware can keep you from getting your password. I ask you not to just start posting there simply to avoid registering, it's there to help those posters with genuine forum problems.

TailgunnerIs it my eyes, or do the background/lettering colors make it very hard to read? Esp. the navy blue on dark gray combo

ToolmakerI generally use a dark background and a light text.
They're easier on the eyes than the light background black text as used here.
The blue is the standard color of links, as in your linking to a forum, profile etc.. The unclicked links are light blue and the clicked links are dark blue. I would have made them a different color, except blue is pretty much a universal link color.
Take a look at one of the threads and you'll see what I mean.

Rick KoehlerOK, I registered. Hafta wait 'til I get home to check my personal e-mail. Compu-nazis won't let us access "outside e-mail accounts."

Just because a bunch of teenagers and teenagers that never grew up write viruses every day. Little buggers. Why don't they grow up and do something meaningful? Like help control the world cat population?
Just waxing philosphical...
