Can you do something about that color of the link? The blue on orange is starting to make me feel ill Dead | X|

Petty? Yes, but painful on the eyes when going to look at the update list :-P

So the yellow is OK, but the orange should go? Or the blue should go and the orange stay? Or change the grey, take away the yellow, mix the blue with the orange and add some purple?

(sorry - I'm starting to hallucinate on flu tablets)

cheers,

I my recent article on drag/drop I have used a nested table with some amazing colors. Just check it out. You might want to use a similar color scheme. It's really stunning and well I know you'd really love it...

I am looking for a free racing game. Old style racing game without any complicated 3D stuff. Around 4 MB download. If anyone has such a game, please inform me.

The yellow and orange is fine, its the blue on the orange that is the problem, the links at the top for FAQ, What's New, etc use black for the link color so that would be a great choice Smile | :)

Dont worry James. I told Chris M to take a look at the wonderful color scheme I used on thoise nested HTML tables.

I guess he'll get a pointer or two from that, and might even give me back the Lounge-Rights Wink | ;-)

I just fiddled with the 'What's new' page and *just* realised you meant the link on the homepage.

Hybrid Categories

Could a hybrid category be setup? That way when I am looking for new articles on say ASP and MFC I don't have to switch categories all the time. Each user could select what categories they wanted. Just an idea.

Chat vs. Message Boards

Chris,

I don't know if it has been suggested before, but have you ever thought about setting up a chat client on the site? Alot of people seem to 'chat' on the message boards and I wonder if some would prefer a chat area for some of the non programming related topics. Just a thought.

A lot of CPains use Sonork to chat. That way it doesn't use up bandwidth or processor time for the CodeProject servers. If you want to try it out you can get it free at http://www.sonork.com/(New Window)

Is there a 'channel' or 'room' that all the CP people are in? It seems to be just an instant messenger. Not exactally what I had in mind... instant messengers tend to be annoying (to me at least).

You can make your own conferences. If you want I can start up a conferance Smile | :)

Colin Davies has done some negotiations with the people at Sonork and they have granted us an official sonork chat room.

Colin has called it "Bob's Hungout"

Usually CPians get together in that room and discuss stuff. Sometimes we only have 4 people in there, but I have seen it go as high as 16 once.

How do you get into this? Or is it like before, we have to create it?

Ok, I added that 'Tracker Room' (Said I wanted to be listed) but I see no change. I'm still left with a blank Users window and no other windows popped up or anything.

Am I doing something wrong?

James T. Johnson24-Mar-02 16:12

Tracker Room's are just a way for people to be listed in a central location the actual chat happens in a conference which someone has to start.

If you click on the robot head in the main window there is an option for Applications, choose conference. Now do a search for all conferences, if you see Bob's Hungout in the list join it; otherwise no one has it up and you can start it yourself (assuming you aren't behind a firewall).

Use sonork.
It's the unofficial CPian chat/IM client

Nish

Oh, I don't know why she's
leaving, or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
