My head is now spinning from all the recent changes around here. Still I approve.

Actally, it is NOT working. I have changed my background to dark grey, but the Moon is inoperative. Under the Customize menu, Dark Mode does nothing, the others can be moved to Green, but do not seem to do anything except the background.

Ask Charlie.

It works for me. I chose Dark and hit the Save button. That's it!

Yes.

It does work well.

I discovered the "dark"screen with a singular tap.

Maybe the tremors experienced by some of the alcoholic doddery elderly causes a double tap or no tap at all?

The dark mode is quite soothing.

 

 

[save the frogs]

dark mode might be the best option.

 

gamma, they are optimizing the site just so you can post more easily, and therefore more frequently, than ever. 

 

keep 'em coming. whatever pops into your head.

I'm only interested in DIY, Isaan, and sharing a beer at the pub.

I can't find any of those.

Edit. I've started 2 threads looking for a recommended dentist. How fricking difficult is that? I ended up just doing Google.

And so I'm thinking that this forum is better suited to a 40 year old looking for a kid to <deleted> than a 80 year old looking for a dentist.

Goodnight and take care....

Nope.  But I did go to a back-alley Japanese bar in Yokohama in the 1980s where it alley ended at a red door.  My friends an I went in.  The Japanese wait-staff tried to shoo us out as we were gaijin 外人, but I spoke some Japanese at the time and convinced them to let us stay as long as there were no other Japanese customers.  God - a sake hangover is terrible. Great fun though from a cultural point-of-view.

Beautiful story 

Are the Japanese still racist towards foreigners in their bars nowadays?

Ever been to the GREEN DOOR in Taipei?

 

Sadly, those days are over now...for the Formosans.

 

Seems the gov there has gentrified the place.

 

Went to the Green Door in Las Palmas once but that was 50 years ago. Probably different now.

I think White is still better than Dark mode.

 

The only thing I am trying to figure out is why there is so much empty space on the right and left of the text part.

 

It's like those early maps of the world...

The known world.

And the BEYOND world where it was just left blank.

 

Still, thankfully, we have this orange box with arrow pointing to heaven.

So, this is good.

 

I am just trying to figure out what I can add on the right and left,...

Maybe pictures of my GFs...would me nice.

 

((I have no doubt that this is NOT the final iteration of the design.  Things like this proceed forward and upwards in jumps and starts...It's always this way with computer software and design....  So, I am waiting to see what will happen next....))

 

 

 

 

This is just a Benq 29 inch screen view.  At least I think it is 29 inch. I might have to check that....

But, with the 29 inch...there's tons of empty space for my GFs photos, and those of my dog, too,,,one and the same..maybe...

No worries.

 

It's easier to write fewer Topics.

 

However, I think it would be very difficult to write more.

 

 

Not on this FORUM!  every day is a new day and amazing at some of the choices as folks have run out of the "normal" ones.IMHO

OK.

I agree with you that the sidebar is extremely useful

I am not advocating ZOOMING so much that one loses sight of the sidebar.

 

However, even MORE IMPORTANT and critical than any SIDEBAR issue is this:

 

Every time I open the site, now my only thoughts revolve around TANG, the drink.

 

I think....Where can I get a glass of Tang.  How much does Tang cost in Thailand?  Are the astronauts on the International Space Station still drinking Tang, I wonder.... 

 

Thoughts such as these, but many more, and all about TANG.

 

Why is it that Thoughts of TANG are Spinning Through My Head, every time I open and use the TV site?

 

 

Fortunately, the reason I never drank Tang in my life was probably due to the color of it.

Not sure why Tang is orange, actually.

Must be a reason, though.

Perhaps the color of Tang was one that is most popular with kids back in the day.

I have no clue.

BTW GG most of the world's Tang supply is manufactured in Nam Phong, Khon Kaen province.

I would not mind returning to those days.

Coward was in important part of the culture of the time.

Many authors have mentioned his name in their novels.

For example, I think he was mentioned in Marjorie Morningstar.

May the sun never set on the British Empire, I say...!!!!!

Interesting.

 

Although, it sort of makes sense since, if Tang is mostly sugar, and I do not know that it is, then sugar cane can be found plentifully in these parts.

I’ve just clicked on Thai Visa to see if my past posts had any Nasty replies and that I had missed, nothing 😞. 

First thing I noticed is the great big Ads taking the page over are gone, good, so annoying. 
 

Looks pretty clean. 

[GammaGlobulin]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE......

 

These new squarish boxes for profile photos.......

 

Love them, in fact.

 

Here is what I mean....

 

 

Aesthetically speaking....

 

PURE GOLD....

 

Love is not a strong enough word for what I feel when I see this new thing.

 

So much better than being ROUND.

 

I know the guy on the bottom.

But...

Who is on top?

 

 

[GammaGlobulin]

Also, I can tell you one very nice thing about this new ..... LOOK...which is....

 

Around about 4:45AM, when one's eyes are completely bloodshot, and even seeing straight is not an option, and when even a dim light is painful....then....

 

This new easy-to-turn-on Dark Mode switch is a ....

TRUE BLESSING.

 

So, this is just one more thing, out of many things, that is a positive step forward....

 

IMHO.

 

I LOVE this, too....!!!

 

(It's so good that I have already forgotten any negative points I had originally thought of.....so far.)

 

 

STILL....Absolutely NOTHING can compare with the true beauty of the LOOK of that never-to-be-forgotten MASTERPIECE which was and still is....

 

TRADITIONAL OS/2 Desktop.

 

Those geniuses really got it RIGHT when they designed the OS/2 desktop....

I mean the original OS/2 desktop...in case....

Anyone might still recall it.

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Thanks to SOMEBODY for fixing my spatial problem.

It is easily solved by doing this....

I am sure that I did not turn on this switch, myself.

Must have been a one of those gremlins that scratched Tucker Carlson, while he was sleeping the other day.

 

 

But now where will I put my dog and gf images?

 

 

 

 

 

 

[GammaGlobulin]

NOW EXTREMELY PLEASED with the functioning of this NEW ThaiVisa Site....!!!!

 

a. I have never been one to complain.

 

b. Instead, I have always been one to look on...The Bright Side of Life....

 

c. SERIOUSLY...though....

Anyone who spends a bit of time on TV, as do I, both using handheld devices, as well as desktops, will have noticed a MAJOR improvement in this site, probably due to MUCH hard work...and....not a small amount of money spent on programming and design.

 

d.  In fact, compared to a year ago, this site works so much better than it has ever done....

 

Now, it's just so much FASTER.

 

e.  IMHO, I would say that it needs no further improvements.  This site, in such a short time, has improved....

 

EXPONENTIALLY....and in an increasing slope kind of way.....

 

In other words, if you look at the "increasing slope" example....

Then you can easily see that the improvements made to ThaiVisa have followed this rapid rise, and then a gradual tapering-off of possible further improvements.

 

This means to me that:

 

ThaiVisa has now reached NEAR PERFECTION.

 

OK...this is obvious.

 

And, there is NOBODY here that has any reason to complain...for sure....about the vastly-improved functinoality of this site.

 

Nuff Said...!

 

f.  HOWEVER, I would still like to say that my favorite color is NOT that of Tang Breakfast Drink, which I truly hated.

 

Instead, I would like to suggest a different color, besides that of TANG Orange...which, by the way, seems to be Trump's favorite color.

 

I am talking about the color....  Maroon.

 

I love the color Maroon.

And, many kids also love Maroon 5.

 

So, now that ThaiVisa has reached near-perfection in functionality on both hand-held-device platforms, as well as on desktop platforms....

 

Then...

 

I think we might consider changing the color scheme from Trump-Orange to.... Maroon-5-Maroon....?

 

I love this color...deeply....

 

This color would go well with all other colors on our ThaiVisa Site....for sure!

 

g.  And, what does the color maroon sound like?

 

Well, I learned a long time ago that....

Thai uni students who listen to Moron 5, and this song by these Morons, have never even heard of Jagger....!!!!

What's up with this type of ignorance....

Anyway?

 

Allusions are lost on the Thai uni youth, ...maybe....

 

Does Jagger even move like Jagger, these days?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[GammaGlobulin]

OK!!!!

 

I am about to.....

GO DARK, now......

 

 

SERIOUSLY.....

 

This ThaiVisa Site is now.....

 

Working...FINE.....!!!!

 

Totally HAPPY with the functionality, and SUPER Fast performance.

No more lost comments...

It really does work GREAT....

 

Now, if only we could change.....

 

The TANG color to....maroon...then....

I would give this site a score of 11 out of 10....absolutely.

 

((Still, the Color of Trump is a small price to pay....now that we have already gotten almost everything we ever asked for....and for FREE.))

 

Color preferences are so subjective, anyway....

Therefore, I am not complaining.

 

Note: If you do not like the color TANG, then just wear a pair of Ray-Bans while posting Topics....

This is what I do.

 

Ray-Bans change the colors on this site from Green to Red.....

 

 

It's faster now.....

 

Amazingly commendable progress in such a short time....

And for all users.

 

Now....

If we could just find a few commendable writers.....
