We probably should avoid the blue and violet link >colors for obvious reasons. I would vote, as a frequent reader and very rarely a poster, to use as few colors as possible. I *can* read the threads with multiple quotations just fine as it is now, but I do not like the way they look. The old way with black on white was just fine. Having one extra color for all levels of quotations (dark grey perhaps) would not be bad. Any more, though, I would not like at all. >I may also be able to offer various color options customizable by each user (as >well as other viewing and filtering options), by using cookies (gasp!), or >possibly by storing settings for each user on the server. But these ideas >would have to wait for a different time of year. I would hope that the implementation of colors could wait for that different time of year as well. Then I could just turn them off since I do not like them. So, in effect, this is one vote against colour. Sometimes the old way is the best. Pekka K.
