If you find something not working, please PM me.

I have one more to add and then we will be removing some.

When I open a thread using a color/skin other than red, the page automatically goes to the bottom & places my cursor in the "Quick Reply" box. Does that happen to anyone else? Is there a way to prevent it? (It did not happen with the "Blue Toast" either.)

It's so annoying having to scroll back to the top of the page! Not that it's anything major - just a bit annoying.

The Spring and Black have rollover dropdown in the NavBar.

Windows XP mouse Snap To

Enable the Microsoft Window XP mouse Snap To feature to automatically focus on dialog box buttons. Enabling this feature will automatically move your mouse cursor to the default button on any dialog box that appears on Windows. This is a great way to save a little time and not have to move you mouse cursor to the "Ok" button each time a dialog box appears. To enable this feature follow the below steps.

Click Start, Settings, Control Panel.

Double-click the Mouse icon

In the Mouse Properties window click the Pointer Options tab and check the "Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box" option.

My wife commented she could see Fancy Red better than other skins, so I kept at it even though it was broken badly in many ways.

So Black having the same base colors was to help her here in part.

She said she can see Spring better still. I have noted Bishop1 and Steadfast sometimes type in larger fonts..... perhaps the new colors will help them!
