Hi,
I am colorblind...
The new change from Red to Green for the text of high voted posts is bad for me, I almost don't see any difference between the green messages and the grey ones.
I know I could change the contrast/brightness of my monitor, but it's perfectly fine me for everything else.
Would it not be possible to at least have a setting for defining the color ?
Thanks,
Stephane

Apologies, Stephane. I checked the colours using a website to simulate the effect on those who are colourblind and it seemed the changes would not cause any issues. Clearly there's no substitute for the real thing.
If you had a few minutes spare I could email you a test page with some colour variations.
Adding a "high contrast" option is something I could do as well.

thanks,

HI Stephane
Apologies for the delay. I decided against diving in too deeply into colours and instead am using a star to highlight popular posts. This unfortunately means that upvotes (but not officially marked as "popular") messages can be green and unstarred. Does this make it difficult to read the title, or merely difficult to tell they are green?
cheers,

Hi Chris,
I have no problem at all reading the green text (or the grey text).
It is just hard to differentiate them.
The star helps finding the greens of course

Since switching to the new more decorative quote format, FF4 is unable to quote text when replying to a post. When the "quote seleted text" button is pressed the result is to attmpt to submit the reply, and an "empty post" error is generated if the quoted text would have been the first content of the reply. Things work fine if IE8 is used instead.

I posted the original message in FF5, quoting only your message and not adding any text.
When the issue happens for you, are you seeing any javascript error in FF? (Ctrl+Shift+J shows the javascript console).
The decorative quote was purely a CSS change that affects message layout. There was no change made to posting, storing or processing messages themselves.

It's not only a frequent request, it is a popular request, yet nothing is ever done. I fail to see why Chris is so reluctant to do something so simple.

I don't know at which number you are already, but I second, third, fourth, fifth... two-thousand-million-xxx that.
PLEASE!
PS: And it would also be nice to have a sports forum for naked people inside the bed while drinking beer.

I'm not sure that qualifies as a real 'sport'...

I have a vision of you chasing MM. My eyes are burning, it cannot be unseen.

Nagy... you are still too near to chicken soup to discuss what can be a sport. 
Oh... and don't worry... I'll call MM to come here and discuss with you about sport... and I guess he is still naked... 
And all this post should be a joke, but there is no icon for that here...

No it's not a good idea once you do that you turn it into a programming and sport site.
If you don't like Sport, don't read the post.

That's not an acceptable answer, and never has been.

Go to your profile, and click the "Reputation" tab. There's a box that explains it.

Oh, if people would just check out their rep page first, before they post about the loss of points. Looks like we are having this question here for several more days, till really everybody got it.
