It just happened overnight...

Rebooted my system and all fine now.

Cam,

I have not adjusted the background of the forum display at all. It was always white just shows that changing some other elements can play tricks on the eyes. I am as you mentioned always working on the layout and display format. We are hacking our way through a major navigation update also.

Thanks for the reply David,

I am convinced though that on my work system here, it has been my "background" colour being gray (the middle bit NOT the sides). My home system using firefox has been white, but on my second monitor there I have it toned done somewhat so it's not as noticeable.

I very much do notice it here though. Maybe my IE here wasn't reading the style sheet correctly.???

Not complaining, just commenting :)
Interesting though, as I type this the BG is gray for the edting window.

Cheers Cam

Ah that is a different problem - you have setup the screen background to gray is that correct?

If you have changed the background colour then I can see what is happening. I have styled to page to white background to allow me to support the grayish RHS and LHS boundary margins and hence this will go over your background.

I am not sure if I can get around that easily leave it with me.

Yes that's right.

Time is all yours...

Cheers Cam

Apparently mid-dark green is the most soothing colour to the eyes. This is horrible for a computer screen so I use the rather bland gray. It works for me as my eye strain is almost non-existant with good screens and a good contrast while using them day-in day-out for years.
Whenever I use a computer with white backgrounds, my eyes revolt and give me headaches and they take a while to adjust to the documents I am looking at while working. After a while this sucks.

It used to be in the old days of web design to assign the background to white by default (at least Microsoft did that to everything). These days the style sheets have allowed personal choice to take over.

I am not up to date with the most recent trends so I'll leave it up to your judgement.

Hooroo Cam

The man with the answers!!

Looks good when it is all in proportion. Keep up the good work

Also the man who breaks it so hopefully I have the answers sometimes. Glad it is sorted now.

More updates will be comming over the next few weeks so if it looks wrong just go the REFRESH once and it should be sorted. In fact it would not hurt on any website to peridiocally do a REFRESH if you visit frequently.

what/where is the refresh button

F5

If you have a new keyboard with F-Lock then ensure this is set on before you try F5 the other choice to be sure is in the browser menu under VIEW select Refresh or Reload - dependent on browser.

David,

The "reload" thing worked fine

Much appreciated

Regards
