Bryan Just reading this in an email I receive on a daily basis.You might want to pass it along to your graphic people. Ed Forrest <<PC Computing E-Letter Comments? E-mail us at pcc_letter@zd.com NET UPDATE ---------- PROBLEM: You're building a Web site. Is there anything you should do to make the site easier for the visually impaired to use? SOLUTION: Since almost 10 percent of the world's population is color blind, one help would be to keep the colors red and green separate from one another. Also, it's wise to avoid using similar colors close together--for example, white next to yellow or blue against black. The best combination for a Web site is usually dark text on a light-colored background.<<

Bryan, after turning off the Classic option, I get the following... New SI subject list New Classic SI message list New SI message Also, it seemed that I was briefly getting the extra space I asked for between messages in the message list. Am I dreaming, or are they fiddling around with this? Greg

"Is anyone else having this problem?" Bryan - It happens to me when I go to SubjectMarks (in New) then click on a Subject. I then revert to the Classic list of messages - actually it is kinda nice! Then when I click on a message, it goes back to the new format. It also happened to me a couple of times yesterday when I was reading posts. When I went to the next post it suddenly reverted to the old format....but I couldn't pin that down except to say that the post I had been reading was posted in classic (confirmed by the poster).

Bryan Further data on the flip flop situation. Last night using windows 98 with IE5 I accessed SI Home Page, clicked on subjects, clicked on one of my bookmarks --bingo-- Classic SI list of messages. Clicked on a message--flip to New SI. This am running windows 95 and IE5, same scenario. Then after reading a few messages and 2 different subjects I am now totally back to New SI. Disclaimer: I won't guarantee that it'll stay on New SI<vbg> thought the exact key strokes might help. :-) JD EDIT: Glad I put in the disclaimer. LOL More data now. OK posted this message then clicked on "Classic SI Customization Option" ie subject headed for this thread and again flipped back to Classic. 2nd EDIT: It can be duplicated. I just did it:-) JD

Thanks to everyone who submitted information on the "flip-flop" problem. Our engineers have identified the source, and rolled back the Classic SI Customization Option late this morning (PST). The option will be re-released when this has been resolved. Depending on when the re-release occurs, we will be including some of the requested additions to the classic interface mentioned on this thread. For those who haven't seen Bryan's post on tweaks / additions we will be making to the classic interface, please read: Message 12334452 John Busby
