In Firefox you can change the background color of webpages by clicking the Firefox menu > Options > Options > Content (tab) > Colors. Then select your background color and uncheck the option that says Allow Webpages to Use their Own Color. It will effect all sites though.

Hi Guys!
 
I moved the threads to the Coffee House because they were taking up almost a whole page of the SONAR forum. I love all the conversations, but it just didn't seem relevant to SONAR. I know why people often put things in that forum, 'cause it's right at the top and where most people notice things. This newer software allows people to more easily see active topics in other forums now though, so it's much less necessary then it was before. I don't know about you guys, but I've been using the "Posts" drop down on the menu bar a lot (in the Default Theme) to see what's happening when I've had some down time.
 
Anyhow, when you move a thread, it asks if you would like to leave a notice. The "locked" threads you're seeing are just notices that threads were moved. After a while I sort of figured everyone knew things were being moved to the Coffee House so I stopped leaving notices.
 
All of the original threads are still open, they're just here in the Coffee House.
 
Sorry for the initial growing pains!

Hi, Ryan. Yeah, that's perfectly understandable. It was getting cluttered but the one big thread could have stayed. It would save you having to move more threads in the future as those locked threads will roll off soon and lots of users aren't here every day like some of us.
 
Just a suggestion.

A couple things you can do to reduce the sprawl is simply hit Ctrl - a couple times which brings things down to a more normal size. Another is in the user control panel under Additional Options you can hide the avatars. This makes it MUCH easier to view. However you don't get the visual cues of the avatars obviously which is why I've left that option as is.
 
 

Thanks for that reminder Beepster... I forgot about the page zoom and kept looking for such in the user settings of the forum! ;-)
 
Except it doesn't seem to be working... I just upgraded to Firefox 21 (can you believe it?) a few minutes ago so what will I blame? ;-)

[edit]
OK.. I got it zooming... It took re-starting firefox and removing the program I was using to emulate IE so that replies worked (tab?)... and even then I had to execute the commands then change windows back and forth to see it... What's up with that? ;-)
 
In any case it is a little better (tho there's still way too much "wasted" screen for my likes...

Thanks Ryan...
I'll definitely reserve any judgements until I have really put it thru some paces... May take me a while... right now my only peeve is that the zoom function isn't working in Firefox 21 and I really would love to reduce the size of all the data and have more on screen as I can scan faster...
