I have to confess that I can't see a bit of difference with the background but then I am on Netscape so maybe I have just had the blue all along as Dra did.

I like the blue, too. It's easier to read.

I don't see anything different with the background. I'm on a Mac, too. It looks the same to me as always. When people started talking about it being blue, I thought I was missing something, LOL.

Well, apparently the only effect this has had is for folks on PCs using Internet Explorer and the only area of the page is the very outside edges. Nothing in the messages themselves, the menus at the top, or the 'Add Your Message Here' has changed (well, except if your vision has been altered by staring at sheer curtains for a long time, but that isn't our fault! )

Hermi, the background of the main page, from new messages, was always white on my computer. Today is the first time the blue has appeared for me.

It does make a difference to me.

I'm use Explorer at work and at home and the new msg page is totally blue now and my eyes have to adjust when I'm multi-tasking. In other words it's a pita to me.

I'm a little slow getting in here but I wanted to say thank you to the new owners of TVCH and to all the moderators. I mostly read in here but in times of joy or sadness, I can count on somebody to give me the support I need.
You all are very appreciated and I wish you success in all of your life.

I see no color change whatsoever. Has alway been pale blue-gray for me, two different shades, with black lettering and blackish red Usernames.

And I agree, Spygirl, this board does take its wittiest posters and turn them into non-posting mods. Sigh ...

GAL, I wrote to Mware a few weeks ago and asked after his well-being. He replied that he is fine but doesn't have time to post anymore.

I didn't see any change either until I went to the front page and then came back...all of the sudden it was blue! I like it.

"Dogs are red-green color blind. They see a brighter and less detailed world when compared to humans. Peripheral vision is better than humans (dogs see more of the world), but distance is not judged quite as well. Dogs excel at night vision and the detection of moving objects."

Oh shoot, changing colors and now disappearing posts? What have I done this time??? Oh wait, that wasn't an accident. A post was removed from here in order that we can review the situation, obtain additional information as to what we are being accused of, and then allow us to discuss our response to be posted here soon. This is how we handle every situation as best as we can.

Would the poster who's message was removed please contact us directly through e-mail to moderator@tvclubhouse.com and provide more details of exactly what you are referring to so that we can best answer your questions.

Thank you.

Well at some point I have met most of the moderators now admins/owners of the Board and from personal experience I can say they are the souls of kindness. I have been moderated and had off-board conversations with several. And each of them have had constructive and extremely valuable advice as to my posting style and how particular arguments/statements/glib patter might be received by some who are not familiar with me. Particularly Karuuna had an early and very thoughtful invervention with me that steered me away from a more confrontational and expounding style of communication (which lawyers are trained in) toward warmer waters where real conversation and friendships might develop. I probably wouldn't still be here if it weren't for that series of conversations. Each moderation has caused me to think before hitting "post." I have had to completely rework my writing style to have acceptable communications on the Board (hello, I can be profane if not downright nasty at times).

We are in good hands. The rules of moderation are for our own and for each others' good and for the good of the Board. No one is in a better position to determine what that "good" is than the moderators. And the simple rules of efficiency for people who are volunteering a huge chunk of their time to making this Board sing dictate that a "don't even start because I will end it" be a part of their vocabulary. There's simply too much to do around here than worry about responding to the Board as a whole why one particular post is inappropriate or poorly-thought-out under the restrictions of the Board. And by the way, we are not customers here, we are not sold anything - our participation is free of charge and un-molested by pop-ups. We are welcome but not necessarily solicited guests who have been given the privilege of posting here within a set of rules which the admins/moderators determine. We are also not in a democracy. The country is set up in a constitutional format, we decide whether or not we want to live under its rules. The saying "it's a privilege, not a right" applies in this forum. And why argue about that? Whatever drawbacks the rules create for posting are outweighed a million times by the warm and welcoming environment that all well-intentioned posters enjoy here. It's a huge part of why this is the best online community of friends and sparring partners I've ever witnessed.

OK no one asked me so I will shut up now. I'll probably get moderated too for responding to a post that has been removed. I just wanted to say I appreciate the Board and whatever you all say I have to do I'll do it LOL. Except you, Rabbit. And even then I'll throw you a piece of cabbage occasionally (but not very often, I wouldn't want anyone to think I was kissing your ass).
