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.

ps; don't forget to mention chomsky in every single thread

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

If you were to ZOOM your screen in CHROME, then you would not even see the sidebar.

I want to see the sidebar. It is useful. Sometimes there are even other topics there besides yours.

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.

I'm not entirely convinced that the forum might welcome it if I suddenly doubled my output.

 

[jerrymahoney]

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.

There’s nothing wrong with standing on your short shadow.
