I've adressed this issue as well.........................slugish to say the least. But I have gotten PM's. This has been going on for a while. Marc says there's not a problem on his end but several members have raised this question over and over again

Treasure_Hunter pointed out that the envelope box icon changes to green when I have mail, but being color blind I just can't tell!

The sluggishness's, I still have no clue!

Thanks CJH!!

When they're that wide of a line and on a white background and side by side I can see enough of a difference to tell that they are different.

Where they are on the header with the smaller lines delineating the icon and different colors at different times, I can see NO difference!

It's red/green colorblindness Jeff.

I can't see a blood trail on leaves/grass either, and that has made things a bit rough in the past.

A lot of folks think it's a joke when I tell 'em about it, but it ain't.. Most popular thing I'm asked is "How can you tell when a traffic light is green?"

The answer is this: There's enough difference in the shades of color on a traffic light to tell, but the yellow and red light are another story altogether!

Here are the colored shades that are near impossible for me to see difference in: Red/Green, Pink/Green, Green/Orange, Purple/Blue, Silver/Grey, Brown/Green, Yellow/Red

and damned near any combination thereof. However it's still a beautiful world out there! After all I only miss the shades, at least I can see!

Imagine my surprise when I took my exam at the MEPS and found out I was colorblind! Folks wonder how could I NOT know; I wonder how I COULD POSSIBLY know since I had nothing to

compare it (my own vision) to?

How many website owners will make a change to a website because a member says they have trouble seeing something because they are color blind.... Marc, your the man

That's a fact for sure Treasure_Hunter!

One of the reasons this is my favorite site on the 'net!

Well, I like the little green envelope - so it's staying

... but ... to help out ... I have re-enabled the alert box so it once again pops up when you have new mail.... "You have one or more new messages".

Just look go here...

http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?action=profile;sa=pmprefs

... and make sure you have "Show a popup when you receive new messages" selected.

Thanks for the feedback!

Marc
