    I don't know what Grazelands looked like. A screenshot would help immensely, as that's how I built Ashlands, was off of a screenshot.

    It was your job to be prepared and keep screen shots. You failed.

    Actually, no. I wasn't brought on as a technical administrator until after the transfer had taken place.

    John wasn't an admin when we changed over. I didn't think of screen shots, that would have been a great idea. If anyone has some please post them in the skin thread.

    Did the move wipe our image galleries?

    My old pic of Sokar's post decomposing the board in stages started out as Grazelands.

    If there's a trace of that floating around anywhere, that would do it.

    That crummy little camera is the best 20 bucks I ever spent.
    Not the first time it's saved my ass.

    I'm sorry, I'm know i'm being a nitpicky pain, but the whole point of me using that skin was was to keep the white-burn out of my eyeballs.

    Aw yeah! :soma:

    99% there.

    The index page boxes, and the posts, a teensy tinge grey, and that's got it.

    Hue 86 red 183
    Sat 53 green 208
    Lum 184 blue 187

    seems nice for the BG... gets it a little more earthy

    Yes! That's it!!

    Now, everything else white/baby-blue that grey.

    The only white left should be form fields.

    Um, is that what this color is?
    looks grey to me.

    I meant, turn any residual baby-blue into this grey you've got inside the posts.

    There's some in the drop-downs.
    Dunno where else it's hiding, but that's where I'm seeing it.

    I've been getting trophies and I haven't even posted on the new board yet. I didn't realize nuWordforge was using Xbox Live.

    Kill the blue in the drop downs, and you've got it.

    It shouldn't be blu-ish in the inbox. I'm seeing gray. The user drop down menu is likely to stay it's slightly off-white/blu-ish self until I find the damned controls that let me modify that one color without trying to modify global colors, and yes, that's how this color system works.

    Okay.
    I thought it was maybe as easy as tinkering a Windows 3.5 theme...shoulda known better.
