As all should now be able to see, 4um has a new look. The gist of everything is in place but there will be further tweaking of the look in the coming days. The software is being specifically redesigned to work with style sheets (css). This will allow fine tuning of fonts to the preference of the forum owner, which was hardcoded into the software previously. That work will be on-going. Enjoy!

Thanks Neil it's looking so good!!
Crisp and clean! I like simple and unclutered sites. The biggest mistake I see on the internet are sites that are too busy and try and ram everything on one page. Mark
Looks fantastic!
Excellent! The links on the left side are very helpful. Thank You!!

There's too much blank space at the top of the screen. Thank you for your service nevertheless.
Hey you know women..always redecorating.. :P
Where do you mean? Between the image and the article title?
I HATE IT! IT STINKS! (kidding) it's really nice!
At the top of the page, it's blank for the first 25% of the screen, then occurs the top line -- Home Headlines Latest Articles etc.
Hmm what browser are you using? You're not seeing an image at the top of the page?
Looks good. Have to get used to the feel of it though.
OK, I turned on "show pictures," and I see it now.
As you navigate, you'll see some things that need tweaking as far as font size and color. It's a work in progress but we were anxious for everyone to see the new logo and art! The design was a joint effort by Zipporah and me, however, we hired a local webdesigner, Chalant Print, who also designed my Bring 'Em Home site, to do the work. Neil is the one who is integrating and implementing it all. Thanks, Neil, for all your effort. Zip and I are very pleased.
My horoscope for today. Daily bad news reminds you that there will always be a colorful array of potential catastrophes available for your panicking pleasure. How appropriate.
Dear God, Please make the fonts larger. Thank you.
It looks so good chris.. And Neil has been hard working to incorporate it with his software... thanks Neil. There are a lot of new options for posters with links to news sites, some good resources .. browse around and you'll find there are lots of new things other than just the look.. although I will say thats the best part.. :)
Neil's working on it.. as he said there are some things that will change as he goes along.. be patient! ;)
Nice look!
jim, see my post above. be patient, please. for now, you can make the font larger in your browser.

Font sizes in general should be pretty much set. Changes there would affect the site for everyone.
the comments are tiny font now and so are the article titles on LC. the poster's names are larger than the comments. it should be the opposite. something got messed up. it wasn't like that yesterday.

the taglines are larger than the replies too.

i should specify i'm using IE. it's not as bad in firefox, but both were properly sized yesterday. also, if i set my browser at largest fonts, the go buttons go outside the middle column.

The post comment page is readable and nice. I'll be visiting my father tomorrow, so maybe things will be all better here upon my return. Good luck with it.
My MyIE2 font setting is at the LARGEST, btw, and Ctrl plus wheel scrolling has no effect upon the font size, for what that may be worth...resolution is 1280 x 1084. Now it seems that the Post Comment page has caught the teeny-tiny disease.
Looks Great! It's about twice as wide as my little monitor, though. Anyone else?
that's what i'm seeing too. teeny tiny.

what is your monitor resolution set at? it should be 1024x768.

I've jacked up the font size of the comments when reading threads. Let me know how that looks. I have to sign off here for the day shortly but will be back on tomorrow.
#31. To: Elliott Jackalope (#29)
Thanks!! That's precisely what chris and I were striving for..
Whoa! Very nice, very classy look. I'm impressed.
#32. To: christine (#28)
Thanx. For some reason I thought this monitor had to be at 800x600. Duh.
#33. To: Neil McIver (#30)
It's much better, but don't hesitate to give it another goose or two when you get a chance. Thanks much! Cheers.
Let me know how that looks.
#34. To: Neil McIver (#30)
on IE, it's still too small. the comments are smaller than the taglines and the article titles on the LC page are still too small. i should be on til mid afternoon tomorrow to work with you on it. see you then. have a good evening!

Looks good, can you just adjust the pape to fit in without me scrowling left-right all the time. Foti
#36. To: LostBody (#35)
Please refer to the post chris did to valis.. it has to do with the resolution you have your monitor set on.. thanks
#37. To: LostBody (#35)
check your screen resolution, Foti. it should be at 1024x768. it will fit perfectly without the L/R scroll then.

Gosh......... need a double triple set of glasses to read it. LOLOLOLOL. It's ok i'll get used to it.
#39. To: LostBody (#38)
we're still working on the font size. it's too small for me too. neil has to sign off for today though. we'll get it all fixed over the next couple of days.

Thanks for all the hard work sprucing up this site. The background color is a lot easier on the eyes than the old WHITE, and I already feel a lot more at home with the informal patriotic graphics theme. Y'all got class! - r.

*blush* i just checked my resolution. i had it way up there. i just changed it to 1152x864 and it makes a big difference. in IE, the poster comments are still smaller than the taglines, but the article titles on LC are fine. in firefox, everything looks good.
