Don't be afraid to post comments about why you voted the way you did, or just to add your input about things you'd like to have on TGH!

I changed the Wooden background pages to include the dropdown navigation bar (along with a couple other page changes)

I guess I voted lol

Mr. James, sir... for some reason Junie Girl and probably many others don't see the reply set of buttons. If I log out, I can't see them either. I set all the permissions so even guests could vote and comment on this topic. I'm sure that a genius of you magnitude will flip the appropriate switch and then rightfully laugh at your poor old Pop.
On the other hand we all know what can happen if I start touching stuff

It is fixed now. I voted through three different changes you made. I think you are doing a good job.
I voted against most of the slide shows. I have DSL but for some reason slide shows tend to bog down my computer and make it run slower. I have to reboot to get back up to speed.
I voted that I like the woven background page best but I wanted to say that the option buttons on the left were a little dark and hard to see on that page.

yep, it is fixed. and I am so ahppy for that. I thank you both.

I voted pretty much like Tina did. except that I do not care for her slide show reason. I do not care for slide shows when I am researching something or wanting to learn.

How about the new buttons on the Woody Page?

I dont mind it, but it is possible that a lighter tan might allow the purple words to stand out more.

You don't like my buttons???

I like your buttons and really they are fine as is.
very nicely done & easy to understand.
I was just saying that a lighter backround & a dark font makes it easier on my "older" eyes.

but I realize everything cannot be the same color.

your best bet would be to ignore me when figuring what to do & how.

Yeah same for me too

I LOVE the light green color---

This poll is now closed!
As always, thank you all for your input! I learned many things that I was unaware or oblivious to.
For the moment, I lightened up the background color of the buttons on the 'Wooden style' pages and the 'Woven style' pages. The entire concept of my button links will be changing drastically soon. I added the 'drop down navigation' bar to the 'Wooden' pages.
The Ving Plants page is also the first page to have the slide show replaced with a linked photograph. I'll leave the slide shows on a dozen pages or so, but replace the rest with photos. On my computer the slide shows load instantly so I just assumed.... This was the best thing I learned from the poll. This will be a priority fix.
Feel free to start another comment topic, or I will as soon as there are any significant changes.
