I couldn't even see that you replied until I hunted and hunted to see if there was something there. Plus, for me, as I mentioned briefly, I have some kind of a visual issue. I have avoided any dark (especially black) background website since the advent of the web. As soon as I look at one, I get flashy stars all around my visual field, and all sorts of things like that. It can also trigger a migraine real fast at times. Mostly I lose the ability to see clearly and it is almost painful. When I go back to white, I feel like someone is shining a super-bright light right in my eyes. I not only can't handle the colors when I view this, if I go back to my charts I'm fried, and then back to the forum, and I'm totally out of it.

I know any given website can't cater to someone who has such an issue, I'm just saying, if this is the new format and we have no way to change our viewing colors individually, I won't be able to come back. Even now my eyes are like jiggling and I'm trying hard not to look at the screen as I type. Oh, well, just one more fantastic thing in life gone in a flash. Maybe I should use this event to help me prep for when the big collapse comes and I have to lose even more. Wow, am I in a bad mood now...

Nah, I bet 27 gazillion dollars that this is no glitch, it's an 'upgrade'. I'm sure the topics not showing up and the sentences not lining up is a glitch and will get fixed, but this is the new format, watch and see. I am going to miss this forum sooooooooo much, it's a part of my life.... Darn it, darn it, darn it...

I tried this in IE and I can see the topics, and the sentences line up. I use Firefox, which is more popular than IE nowadays. Can anyone else tell me what they are seeing and what browser they are using? I do not want to go back to IE, but none of that solves the color issue for me anyway. So, I guess this is just going to be how it is, and I'll see you all on the other side, I guess (since that's likely the next time we'll meet up)...

I use Google Chrome, and things appear to line up. I do not know what to do about the color. I do not like the new color scheme. It makes it harder to read for me.

Thanks, Al. It must be a Firefox issue. Any other Firefox users out there? Are you seeing the same issue?

Here's a topic to voice your opinion on the new format. Please go there and voice your opinion unless you don't care if the forum goes away. Understand, I am not able to visit webpages with dark backgrounds (I guess this is way more unusual, like just about everything about me, that I thought), so if they don't change back I will, unfortunately, have to leave the forum. Please don't mention your are a member of the KT forum as that may open you up to attack. Just state your opinion and leave it at that.

Barkley,

I'm not understanding your reply. I grasp that Chrome lines it up, as I suspected, since that is the #1 browser so I'm sure they tested it on that and no one has complained about alignment yet. But then you did you mean 'but' very hard to read? If so, then you are struggling like everyone else I have heard so far. Please see the link and voice your opinion there. Thanks

How one would look like going to buy bread for cash?
I'm not kidding. This photo is from Zimbabwe.

Problem is, a roll of TP will be 10 zillion dollars... Remember that in the year of their hyperinflation Zimbabwe was the best performing stock market in the world in nominal terms. You can now get a $100 trillion bill on eBay for about $3.50 last time I checked. But, people are so stupid, I guess, that as long as the stock market is rising, even when they own no stocks, they think things are great, even if they are hungry. Consumer sentiment just broke out to a high not seen since 2007! Things are good!

Yes, this is quite funny.
Partitions is a series of three times when Austria, Russia and Prussia annexed parts of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth until they took over everything. So their point that this is only the beginning is really good.

This kid in the second poster is PM Donald Tusk also called Donaldinho (like Ronaldinho), as he spends more time playing soccer than working. ZUS - state owned fund.
And a writing below 'One more time' leaves no delusions. And showing chief communist here is well-aimed. After WWII communists nationalized everything including even the smallest groceries.
