My techno-fu is weak.

Two things I cannot figure out:
1. I have a problem reading black font on a blue background. Is there a way I can change it?
2. Are avatars enabled? If so, I can't seem to make it work.

Nits - not a big deal in the overall scheme of things.

Again, Thanks very much for setting us up!

I enabled avatars for COTEP member. Goto UserCP at top then Edit Avatar on the left.

How is the text now?

maybe your image is too large Knott? Or it could be the connection is cutting out where you're at. IDK

Does that mean I have to change mine to a pink mimber with just an anchor to keep from being banned?:confused: lol

Yes, some of it. I changed the message body background. Maybe I can add another color scheme at some point and people can choose what they like.

No worries. It's just my aging eyes. You should see some of the strange pants/shirt/tie color combos I wear to work. It gives the girls something to laugh about:)

Hmmm, idk then Knott. You can open the pic with the "paint" program that comes free on your pc and change its size in there then save it. Copy the pic first so you dont jack up the original.

Might need to check what format the pic is in also...make sure its a "jpeg" and not some other type of file. If it's the wrong type, just open it with paint or some other program and then "save as" it and change it to jpeg in the save-as window.
