I like them, they're kinky.
And they bring out my eyes. :-p

I'm not down with them.

The thing I truly love about this site is the smart people and very little to no ads.

Note: I never notice any ads although there is one at the top all the time.

^ So you seriously didn't notice that the buttons changed to bright green? I'm confused. Or maybe you were just pulling Smurf's leg. Bah...

I just noticed it right now. But i have my reasons for slowed perception. They're well known, i need not renumerate them again.

My buttons are not green. The only buttons I see are on my 501s. and I think I hate eveyone for trying to confuse me. I'm going to work now.

Moonbear, that's a classic. Using the quote button was a particularly entertaining touch.

Uh, no, my quote button is still the same shade of blue it has always been. :confused: Really, this isn't like Tsu insisting she sees orange as red, there isn't any change on my screen at all (other than a few days ago, someone rearranged all the smilies; none added, none missing, but they're not in the same places they used to be). Do you really see your quote buttons in green? Strange things are happening around here!

woah crazy buttons!

This is so weird. If everyone else has green buttons, why don't I? :cry: Oh, wait, green would look pretty hideous with the theme of this page. Neener neener, you got stuck with the green buttons! :smile: Maybe that will be the new contributor perk...get rid of the hideous green buttons and have nice, aesthetically pleasing blue one. :biggrin:

My buttons are green too. I first thought it must be a St Patrick's day gimmick, but I'm starting to wonder when this thread gets moved to Skepticism & Debunking :rolleyes:
 
  • #26
Yep, the "edit" "quote" and "reply" buttons are green now. Greg must've gotten bored. :smile:

Mine are still blue! :cry: Greg left me out! It's like choosing teams all over again, I'm always the last picked!

Then again, I like being different, even if being different means sticking to old-fashioned, boring, blue buttons that perfectly color-coordinate with everything else on my screen. :biggrin:

Moonbear, don't be so eager to get back to your computer so you can post on PF. Your buttons are obviously appearing blue due to Doppler shift.

By the way, are you sure that color is green? It looks kind of like the color of tennis balls and the cans always say that they are yellow.

Smart aleck! I've hit refresh plenty of times, and since they first started mentioning green buttons, have even shut down the browser, disconnected the modem, gone to sleep, and reconnected and started the browser and still no green buttons. From your description of the color, I hope I'm kept left out!

You trust a can over us? (I am sober now, i can be trusted.)

OMG, thank you whoever it was who said to hit refresh, you were right. I see them now. Moonbear, hit ctrl+shift+r for firefox, I think it is the same for ie, and other browsers; this will refresh and override the cache.

Another convert to our secret plot[/size] way of seeing things. Hopefully now Moonbear will be brought into the fold[/size] will be able to actually see these fancy new green buttons we all love so much.

GREEN POWER![/size]

I see that color of green in the GI Lab a lot. Also when we do these really fun xray exams involving the gallbladder and the common bile duct and...scissors! :smile: :smile:

p.s.
this exam doesn't involve sticking things into a butt, franz - so you probably wouldn't be interested... :smile: :smile: :smile:

I use Safari. As I said, I HAVE hit refresh. But from the description, I'm not about to go clearing the cache now. I think I'd like to avoid hideous clashing colors as long as I can! I think I'll wait until Greg's done with the makeover before I subject myself to that. I already have a headache today and don't need to worsen it.

Well hitting Refresh will not do anything!

You do not need to delete the cache, I think, I am not sure about safari. What ctrl+shift+r does in firefox, is refresh and override the cache. It is not a normal refresh.

What I did not say in my other post was that hitting refresh did not work; however, hearing that idea led to the thought of refreshing while overriding the cache, which did work.

Funny you should mention that, because we're getting a game of PF Dodgeball going. Mentors are team captains. When you see green buttons, it means that you were picked.

:smile: I finally got picked! But I had to switch computers. Hmm..and I always thought my laptop was the more popular of my two computers and this old desktop in the office was rather slow.

Now I know I'm going to go to great lengths not to clear the cache on my laptop. (I guess that will probably last until Monday when I usually run software update...my luck is there will be a Safari update that does something to force me to look at the green). I hope Greg doesn't have any aspirations to become an interior decorator! I think he needs a woman's touch to help with the color coordination around here. :biggrin:

I can see it now... Moonbear has been selected to redesign the buttons. All of a sudden we see little Moonbear pictures wrapped in a lovely pick ribbon to post reply and Moonbear hugging a little puppy to quote... :smile: then for the edit button - a picture of Moonbear holding a box of broken cookies (or may an electroejaculator! :smile:) :smile: :smile: :smile:

All I can say is, if - within this 'picking' of Dodgeball Teams - the Sisterhood is not on the same team, there's going to be TROUBLE! :biggrin:

Oh, maybe that's why it took so long. Evo just picked the other sisters first, and since the rules always require selecting boy/girl/boy/girl, it just took a little while before she could get all the sisters onto the team. Now I don't feel so bad anymore. Thanks Tsu. :approve:

:smile: I think the electroejaculator should replace the exclamation mark (or whatever that is) for reporting a bad post. Rest assured, I wouldn't decorate with pink ribbon (shhhh...don't tell tribdog, but I really don't like pink). Though, paw prints might work for "edit" (there's a loose association of "cleaning up" for both of those). Even a different shade of green would work, more like a sea green, or any muted green - something with a bluish-gray hint to it.

I do like the little beakers on the posts though. Those are cute.

Edit: I just figured it out...Gokul is Greg's favorite! I always suspected, but now we know. Those green buttons match Gokul's ribbon. Now he's all color-coordinated. :biggrin:

Yeah right ! Now everyone's going to think I'm some kind of glorified "reply" button ! It's even hard to tell I'm there anymore...perfect camouflage ! Methinks Greg just wanted to hide me among the greenery.

Moonbear, you're not alone in the delayed observation of the greenies. I didn't see them this morning when people were talking about them - that was from my home computer. Now, at school, I see it all.

These buttons look a lot like Flash-generated buttons... but they are not flash buttons... they are .gifs. How strange. The color contrast is striking... really doesn't fit at all.

Green buttons are starting to appear on my home computer! :eek: The quote buttons haven't changed yet, but the new thread button just appeared in green. Weird that it's happening in stages.

The process of assimilation is starting to affect moonbear. It won't be long before our secret lair is fully operational and then we will export our secret plot to the rest of the world.
Muhahahahaha

Green Power!
