Have I missed something?

[paulineward]

After a busy week, I pop on to see pink blocking on threads. When did this happen? Seems quite handy actually...what has been the consensus of opinion, without me searching?

[bridgenut]

Hi PaulineWard , don't think anyone has passed a comment on it yet , agree it's not a bad addition to the site .Think it's only just happened , BTW , belated birthday wishes .

[paulineward]

Thanks bridgenut...just getting back to normal!?? Was amazed at the amount of greetings I got! Think the Herculis competition had something to do with it!! ..No on second thoughts my Birthday influenced all the Herculis entries...sounds better!!.. ;-) ..wishful thinking maybe!
Was lovely though and very much appreciated! Think Sarumite started it off!! Bles!!!
Anyway..I actually think having the original questioner highlighted helps, and reminds you who it was, and to hope if they are not still contributing, that you are not all wearing them down!!!
Good to hear from you...take great care..and good luck with the puzzles!

[paulineward]

P.S. Just wanted to see how I looked in Pink!!!!!!

[ontarioice]

Pauline: I'm not seeing pink anywhere so don't know what you mean. Please explain. Thanks.

[paulineward]

Hi Ontarioice...sorry was busy on another thread! Been off for a few days...just popping on now and again..and think it was yesterday noticed that whoever posts the question has all their responses (on their posting) okay, as normal, but any they submit themselves are headed Question Author and the reply is in a pink 'block'. Why I don't know as yet, but is probably quite useful.
Hope you are okay.....and as much as we have talked and exchanged,..and mutual respect and all that...WATCH OUT FOR SATURDAY!!!...only joking ..you did brill!!!

[ontarioice]

Thanks Pauline. I'm seeing the words "Question Author" in yellow and not pink. Maybe the colour leaked crossing the Atlantic. :)
I'm almost afraid to enter on Saturday as I know it'll be a shock if I bomb this week.
However, it's good fun and we all need something to make us smile.

[paulineward]

I prefer yellow to pink! It's more exhilarating!!
You had better enter on Saturday!!!! You are a celebratory guest!! ..and after last week you have shown to think slightly differently helps! ...only don't try too hard!!!!
Good Luck anyway...great to hear from you...you are a very welcome member to our group of puzzlers!

[paulineward]

P.S. ontarioice...could the time difference in Canada still make a newly 50 year old still 49 somehow????...please!!!

[ontarioice]

Thanks again, Pauline. I've always enjoy it when you're around. Lots of others very nice, too. There are some I'd rather not deal with, but then "That's life" as they say.
I'm away now to have a read before bedtime.
Take care. O-Ice

[ontarioice]

PS. Not if you turned 50 on Saturday. We're not that far behind. lol

[paulineward]

ALL are welcome!...despite grumpy people you get EVERYWHERE!!!...most of us on here are okay...we will all say to others if not!!! Greetings across the pond..seas ...skies.....!

The highlighting is coming out pale yellow on my computer. I quite like it, but I do think the time used changing it would have been better spent getting rid of the sub-sections.

[shaneystar2]

I have a nice shade of magnolia pauline !!
Hope all is well and that you have recovered from the celebrations ...off to take my aged aunt round the garden centre ...see you tomorrow ..take care .

[paulineward]

Jools..you have made me tilt my laptop!! When I do that it is yellow...must be how the light was shining on it where I was sat!!!..or as my daughter has just suggested ..I am going colour blind with age!!! Cheeky thing...she should have left for college by now anyway!! Agrree about the subsections...only this section I forget they are there!!

[paulineward]

Speak tomorrow shaneystar no doubt! Enjoy the garden centre!! Love those places!!!
P.S. The Week comes today, so pop on tonight please!!!!!

[JoolsTwo]

Daughters are not very sympathetic are they. Thats the sort of comment I get from my daughter. They forget they are going to be our age one day. :-)

Hi paulineward (and others)
Here is the definitive answer as to what shade the box colour is. It is hexadecimal FFF3DB.

For the non-technical amongst you, that means that the colour is made up of a mixture of red, green and blue light that has the red at 100% of its maximum intensity, green at 95.3% of its maximum intensity, and blue at 85.9% of its maximum intensity.

Or to put it another way, it is a pale slightly orangy yellow.
Any variation in its appearance on your monitor screen is down to the individual settings and/or viewing conditions.

[JoolsTwo]

Thanks for that gen2 - That has made it very clear :-/.
Well I think it has - Hasn't it. Ummmmm oooh oh dear. :-)

[paulineward]

gen2...I will sleep tontight now!!!! When I tilt the laptop it is yellow. My daughter says I am going clour blind as well...cos it is yellow at every angle to her!!
Will read your explanation to her...probably won't post the reply!!
They are awful aren't they Jools! Mine thinks it sad I spent book vouchers on a Chambers, and was getting a buzz out of it!!! On my 50th, she informed me I may qualify for Saga Holidays now!!
Wouldn't be without them though eh!!!??? Well ....

[JoolsTwo]

Well I have Chambers on my Christmas wish list. But I haven't told my daughter, I couldn't stand the sarcasm. Jim is going to get it for me I think. But your right I wouldn't be without her.
