:smile: When I first read this thread last night, and had no idea what buttons anyone was talking about, I was starting to think that's what Smurf meant, something he was going to wear to school today with crazy buttons on it. :-p

It's still strange that half the green things have appeared (on each forum's main page, the new formatting is there, but not when I read or reply to threads).

Gokul, it must be because we're in Ohio. Progress is slow to reach this state. :biggrin:

Moonbear's theory that she got to keep blue buttons as a contributor perk was funny! Sheesh! If they were going to introduce contributor perks, why not actually give the contributors some improvements, instead of doing the opposite to everybody else! :smile:

I also agree with her assessment on the buttons. They're quite hideous.

:smile: Purple is good. Jolly Rancher green is rather disturbing. And they've taken over my laptop too! I guess I couldn't avoid it forever. Well, at least we shouldn't have any problems with new people saying they don't know how to quote. No way you could miss that button now! :biggrin:

This thread has been active for a while and we still haven't gotten a clear answer regarding the enigmatic new buttons.

This is the perfect time to create evil conspiracy theories regarding those mysterious buttons. My conspiracy theory? They will slowly shift the entire site to this bright color. Still trying to formulate a motive...

Oh, there's a serious answer in feedback. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=61634

...but don't let this stop you from creating wild conspiracy theories. :biggrin: We already have two theories. Mine is that it's to help Gokul color coordinate with the site, and Gokul's is that it's so we don't see him camouflaged amongst all the greenery.

^ 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 noticed them right away! And, why is the quick reply button still blue?
