Maybe use Lynx.

Oooh good point, or perhaps Telnet - that's definitely got a black background....

Lol. Is there a WATMM-official mud?

go in ur accessibly options and maybe u will find a option for to make all ur stuff reverse colored? ull have to change ur windows back to white cuz it will make ur windows be black (oppsiite of wite)

No, you can only make half of the screen inverted, I think. My old netbook inverted all of the colors on me once, so if I ever wanted to look at a picture, I had to do that. Or open it in mspaint and ctrl+I.

Fuck HP Minis.

if you had a mac, you could just do control+option+command+8

You already asked this once before. If you'd like to donate 25 dollars, I'll purchase a custom skin and install it - I was thinking of adding some alternate skins to the forum anyway...

type "custom CSS for IE" into google (without the quotes) and that should be a good starting point.

And I appreciate your support! However, advertising revenue has been down in the last few months, so we're barely squeaking by paying for the hosting with the ad revenue+donations. Anything extra like a skin, or even renewing the board license (the blog license is up for renewal, but I'm thinking about letting that slide and ask all the WATMM bloggers if they'd miss the feature) is extra that I either pay out of pocket or with any residual donation funds that come in after the hosting is paid.

BTW, this is the skin I was thinking about: http://www.ipbforumskins.com/skindemo/index.php?amp;&settingNewSkin=20&k=880ea6a14ea49e853634fbdc5015a024

This is another one I was considering: http://www.ipbforumskins.com/skindemo/index.php?&settingNewSkin=26&k=880ea6a14ea49e853634fbdc5015a024

I like that first link a lot. When you finalize the skins, Joyrex, you should make a thread and we'll vote :D

Well, unless I was making them myself, they'd probably come from that site, since the guy who runs it is one of the best IPB skin makers around... much easier to tweak his designs than start from scratch.

I guess I could get him to do a custom skin... I should get a quote from him.

Oh I see, for some reason I thought you or chaos were making the skins. In that case, do whatever you want.

<off-topic>

I wish we could have a little donation page where we could donate to get certain things on this board. If people could donate their money to specific causes I'd assume they'd be more apt to donate.

Of course, an app like this would probably cost money or something.

cause everytime i fucking mention the fact that i use IE some asshole "computer expert" (aka everyone who decided to install firefox over IE) decides it's their civic duty to inform me that im an idiot who knows nothing about computers.

 

they're not assholes, IE really does suck on many fronts. but fine, do it your wrong way.

 

you just made my point and invalided yours at the same time. how do you not feel like an asshole by saying something a complete asshole would say, something like "fine, do it your wrong way <intentional period>"

 

it's not a wrong way, it's a decision. see that's why you're an asshole. you assume your way is right and mine is wrong. fact is ive used IE for years and only had small problems like this, i guess if i lived on the fucking internet and never did anything else than it would be a huge deal.

But it is the wrong way.

IE is much more insecure than other internet browsers and is much slower.

Ironically it is also both LESS user friendly ~AND~ LESS customizable than most other browsers. Typically there's an inverse relationship but in the case Firefox and Chrome just trump.

hey

jots down "hardcode is sorta a retard" in my watmm notebook.

also, while i'm here, *high fives luke viia* edit: not for anything he said in this thread, mind you, but because he's boss, and his name is boss, and my name is boss, and we're bosses.

final bosses !

careful, i told him that once and i was banished from ever directly addressing him ever again.

i've sorta been busy and away from watmm in the past year or more, so i've lost track of the really funny people who take stuff seriously.

oh DJ Hardcode is an absolute gem. real nice guy.

DJ Internet Explorer

Light text on a dark background is harder to read and puts more strain on your eyes - at least, in print. Not sure about screens.

hey DJ HARDCODE.... you could just go here instead
