    The forum has had a large influx of new users over the past month, and I'm now getting several requests a week from these members that are having trouble figuring out how to post. My theory is that they couldn't find the "New Thread" or "Post Reply" buttons, because the green buttons do blend in somewhat with the default green theme.

    To help users find the buttons, I've replaced the green with blue. It does seem to make them stand out a bit more.


    If you're using the old blue and white forum theme, you'll have no idea what I'm talking about, so feel free to ignore this.

    Well I guess the blue is OK. But if you want to attract attention, why not use "dayglo orange?":biggrin_2559:

    Well now, my REPLY button is blue, but the NEW POST button is still green??????

    Civil the NEW POST button is in topic heading section, in the same location as the REPLY button is on the threads. That is center left hand side of the page. (And I thought I was the only one who needed new glasses!):biggrin_25523:
