What’s with the purple-and-yellow headline thing? Have we been taken over by crazed Amherst and NYU graduates? Like Boris Karloff said: “Friend GOOD…Change BAD.” Let’s all yell and scream like we did with the flaming folders, and see if we can get management to change it back to blue-and-white! * * * Uke ---

Um…what are you talking about? Right now, the ad is purple and yellow, but that’s it. Everything else is plain old blue and white, just like always. * * * “Buffalo Bills? Oh, yeah. The guys that always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.” --WallyM7 ---

I just saw it too! I thought there was something wrong with this computer I just started using! I suppose we _could_ get used to it, but… Shouldn’t this topic be in “About This Message Board”? * * * \>\< DARWIN \> \_\_ **L\_\_\_L** ---

I don’t really _mind_ the new colors, but it looks crappy with everything else in blue and white (particuarly when the purple and orange logo is on a blue field). Usually you do changes like this on a test server and then copy it all over in one swell foop, but maybe they don’t have one and so are changing the look incrementally. * * * “It’s like I always said…there’s nothing an agnostic can’t do if he really doesn’t know whether he believes in anything or not” --Monty Python, “The Meaning of Life” ---

That thing is a bit scary the way it jumps right out at you. The fact that it has University of Michigan colors does not sit well with this OSU Buckeye fan either. ---

Hmmmmmmm…Drain (Ohio) and Arnold (Calif) don’t have it yet, so it must be originating on the EAST coast and slowly oozing westward… YO! Pennsylvanians! Blue-and-white still, or purple-and-yellow? Let’s track this thing, group! Or maybe not the east coast…maybe it’s coming from EUROPE, that old-world font of evil and decay… (jab: This may be About the Message Board, but above and beyond anything else, it’s Mundane and Pointless.) * * * Uke ---
