Caesar

We have changed the default settings on the themes. The new default is "Inifinite" (light) with the color chooser. We have also changed the default color from blue #3a85ba to the Green - #029146. If you want to make blue your default please make the changes in the color picker.


Since the default settings on themes has changed I have started to experience probelms accessing the site with Internet Explorer. At almost every new page I am now getting the message "This tab has been recovered ... A problem with this web page has caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab.". Occasionally I get thrown out of the site with the message "We were unable to return you to mazdaracers.com"; several options are offered including return to mazdaracers.com.

When I change the theme to 'original' the problem appears to go away. I like the new 'green' theme but it looks like I need to stay with the original blue skin for the time being.

I am using Windows XP SP3 and Internet Explorer 8 all updates applied.

Thanks for your efforts

Terry

I'm running infinite dark and Dave wheelers post on the Stewart Shock problem had black fonts so very difficult to read.

Johnny, it looks like he is cutting and pasting from Word or somthing like that because he has custom styles on his font. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that other than have him just use our editor w no custom styles.

On Infinite, can you change the color of the quote font to something darker? It's very difficult to read.

Seems a bit better, but more would be helpful. Maybe making it dark blue would separate it from the normal message, but still be more readable. It probably varies with both monitor and background light, but there's just precious little contrast against the white background.

Unfortunately not, that is a function only available to the templates we added.
