124750 2003-02-28 11:07:00 The other thing that annoys me is sites that use anything but black text on white because if you print some sites they chew through your colour cartridges for no good reason. mikebartnz (21)
124751 2003-02-28 13:50:00 mikebartnz,
Surely you don't really want to print the paradise homepage?

I can see however that the "help" or "plans" page might be good to print.
It looks like you would just have to copy the text into a new text document, and print the text document instead...

As for the look of the page? Printible or not, i likes it.

You could always try selecting the text you want printed and then tell your printer to print your selection? - that seems to change the text to black and leave out the background ;)

If you don't like the Paradise colour scheme, why don't you just get another home page?

124754 2003-03-01 00:40:00 Hi Baldy - I actually never said that Paradise.net is my home page. nzcity.co.nz is. The Paradise.net site is my ISP and therefore I need to visit it for various reasons and I cannot help but think it is hard to read. The site that -=JM=- gave us a link to is a black background with white writing also, but much crisper and more interesting.
:|

Mikebartnz has a very good point - i should have provided a link (I am new to this) so here it is:
url=http://www.paradise.net.nz (why has that not worked ?)
:)
I know I could change my ISP, which I may do yet - but not just for that reason. Paradise seems to have become a bit impersonal since they got taken over by a larger company. Still changing ISP's is a scary thing - almost as scary as changing power companies !!
:D

Because you didn't use the square brackets properly, check it out in Formatting Options.

Cheers (made a zillion blues myself) mark :D c

124756 2003-03-01 00:53:00 Hi Misty

I have just been to the link you provided http://www.paradise.net.nz and would have to say it looked spot on to me. Very easy on the eyes (and my eyesight is shocking LOL)

Changing your ISP isn't all that scary. Just make sure you send an email out to everyone telling your new email addy and everything else will look after itself

124757 2003-03-01 01:10:00 I thought that the brackets were just to show the beginning and end and not to use ! I must try a bit harder and not give up so easily.

Anyway this is a link you will be particularly interested in Baldy and it gives me practice to make sure that I can do a link ok:

[www.haggis.co.nz

You may well know of Gordon Smart's Haggis Hatchery at Wellsford already though ! They make great haggis !!! and black puddings.

now down to 99,996, I hate all white text of black background,

But could it be something to do with the monitor, I have one a few years of age, and if I won lotto it would be the first replacement I would get.

So, would you just buy a new monitor or buy out Paradise and change the colour sheme with your Lotto winnings?
