Just to keep things neat and tidy, I was wondering if we could perhaps divide the main section into some of the different areas we are used to:
All Dragons CB Dragons Rare Dragons
And allow in those sections to make your post with either the "Have" first or the "Want" first.
and perhaps a few new ones (things that generally require lists): Holiday IOUs (Looking For) Holiday IOUs (Offered) 2nd-gen Tinsel IOUs
Cheers, Bantymom *sets out brownies for visitors*
To not double post, I would like to add another suggestion/request here. Would it be possible to tone down the dark salmon color that is used for every other post, the color this post is on? It is very hard on my eyes, even worse when images are posted on it. Perhaps a little lighter and less saturated (grayer), or more of a parchment color? I am dyslexic and it is causing the letters to jiggle and move around.
Thank you so much!

I hope it is okay to put a sugggestion under this one:
I would seriously love to have a possibility to post not "Haves" but "Wants" as well. Maybe a separate thread where everybody can post what he or she needs or looks for, so a lucky catcher of let's say, a bluesang or a CB stripe can filter out whom to offer the fresh catch. And maybe browse the scroll already and ask directly for a specific IOU from a pair of dragons. An IOU can't accidentally grow up on your scroll, a randomly caught rare/uncommon egg or hatchling can, therefore this sugggestion.
*bows and scurries out*

I will get on that right away, should be fixed the next time you login. To the poster right above me: You can go to the IRC channel and request it there, I have no control over what the admins do. I can, however, bring it to their attention at some point.

Thank you!!!!
Now for another one for the dyslexic among us. The beige is lovely, could we change the white to an off-white? A lighter version of the beige? It is the high contrast that makes letters bounce around.
Also, the buttons for "modify" and "new topic" and the like, the tiny outlined letters are nearly unreadable. Are those part of the button, or could they be changed to a more readable font? Not as big a deal as the background color because I will eventually get used to the placement, but it would really be nice.
Sorry, another one, could the print in the quote be the same size as in regular posts. Mouse print is so difficult to read for these old eyes. I'm just thinking that the easier you make this site to read and navigate, the more people it will attract.
Thank you.
Oh, regarding your answer to the other poster, don't the admins come to read this? I will have a really hard time contacting them in the IRC because I won't be able to go there hardly ever. I am putting all my hopes and eggs in this basket, the forum.

About your first question, yes, the font is a part of the button and cannot be changed. I apologize - I can only get so much from a free site. The second question: I come here and read through the suggestions, yes, and I realize that not everyone can come to the IRC, which is why Snow and I built this forum. You can always PM us and receive answers - we don't bite~

The buttons are a bit hard to read, but I find Ctrl+ to be my friend. I zoom way in on stuff that have a hard time reading. I'm glad there is this alternative. No additional suggestions at this time. Cheers!

Cheers! I can try and look into buttons being fixed, or making them into text. I know there' s an addon for that. Alright, edited it. Now every button is text. :3

Ahhhh, so nice and soft on the eyes now. Thank you very much! And thank you Gist and Darcia, for introducing yourselves! *sends brownies your way* I understand about free sites, which is why I considered that the text might be part of the buttons themselves. I'm so glad there was a text alternative.

If you could make the navigation menu just above the top of the text box (the one which says IOU Trading :: General :: Suggestions :: IOU Trading -- forum layout ideas/suggestions) a different color or bold it would be helpful.
It's hard to see right now.

I can't. I've tried, sorry about that. It bothers me too.

I'm not sure if this will be implemented, but users can start these threads (just separate threads, so the admins don't have to work too hard. :3)
