Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

I much prefer the new style 'HkTan' (less strain on my old eyes)

Cool!
Any changes you see could be made
Please feel free to offer suggestions/ideas. Y'all know I try to please.

No changes from me. One question though, are you considering having pre-made avatars available? If so I would like to request a set of National and State Flags so those who wish to can display their origin/allegiance. There is a set of 428 Flags from all Countries, many States (inc. all US States), Organisations and even Naval Signal Flags.You can find it near the bottom of the page (3D Flag Avatars-Super Pack):-

I'm glad you brought that up. :D
I won't mention any names yet, but I got an email asking if I'd like to add railroad logos for avatars, so they may be forth-coming.
I'll look into the flag thing too.
Good idea. Any comments from anyone on this?

Hi Hawk

I've just sent you an e-mail with an unusual flag combination which I hope you'll be able to add to your collection. I wear this badge often, not as a political but a personal symbol, as ours is an Anglo-American marriage. I'd love to be able to have it as an avatar.

Shame about the pictures, but security comes first.

How 'bout that? :D

I do like this better than the blue and silver, but the colors are a little 'peachy'. I know you live in Georgia but I'd like a bit less pink.

I know, 'picky, picky'. I sure am glad to have this forum back and have a place to be picky about! :)

Hey, it took me 3 days to figure out how to get all the colors in place and now you're complainin' they're too peachy?
It's really s'posed to be tan. What browser are you using? Which colors do you call peachy?

Hey, it's not bad! :D Better then white, for sure.

Thanks Ed.

The comments show up in alternating bands of dark and light. The light-colored band could be more tan and less pink (IE peach).

Hmm? OK! I know which color looks peachy to you now. I just need to figure out which box I need to change in the code.
Still looks light tan to me.

Also a "Welcome back Hawk!" from me.

Molse.
It's been an interesting experience.

yep,
nice new colours /theme hawk. :)
Just like the old one, and way better than the default sub-silver thingee.

It took some work for me trying to figure out the right tables for the new colors, and their use of images for some tables was a bit tricky.

What do the different colors in the subjects of threads mean. On my computer some of them are blue and some are green. Any significance to the text colors?

Active links are blue. Visited links are green. If you hover the link it will be red.

What do you mean by "Active" vs. "Visited"? I've "visited" all the threads, so shouldn't they all be green? Or is just those visited since invoking the new "peachy" colored board.

I believe the green visited links are reset every time you refresh the board.
I also think the green color only affects the post and not the thread title nor forum.
To be honest I'm not 100% sure but I'll start keeping an eye on it and experimenting a bit and let you know what I figure out.

hey hawk, just my opinion as I just navigated myself here with the help of bookmarks, but the link to connect to the "Forum" should be more evident I think. I mean, your site is huge with a lot of downloads and stationary pages and things, but I would think that the "living, breathing" soul of your site would have to be where people meet and congregate and discuss - hell, I would make the link to the Forum in 72 point font! might direct more people to the discussion area, especially if they are looking for help. Just an idea :D
