I love the staff color on official mod instructions. Super duper helpful. ---

I’m thinking they should be late-90s Geocities wallpaper style with pixelated animations and weirdly stretched images. That would really stand out. ---

And I very much appreciate that. I’m pretty sure that it was your idea to start using that, right? It was a good one. It’s just that sometimes mods still seem to forget at times, so I can understand someone being confused. ---

Actually **engineer\_comp\_geek** wrote up the Mod instructions for SDMB on Discourse and he had that included. As all the newer mods started modding the SDMB in Discourse, we’re probably a lot better about using the Staff Color to highlight official mod posts. So the credit goes to **ECG**. Sometimes, like when we were getting regular Friday night Trock attacks, we’re fighting fires for a bit and plenty of little things slip. I’m sure lots of Mod posts were missing the Staff Color in those cases. The Staff notices were something else **ECG** sussed out early but I probably use and/or abuse it the most. It cuts down on replies to off topic posts and I try to always use it on the OP is I move the OP or change the title. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > I think of it as Post-It yellow. Don’t let 3M know that, they’ll send a cease and desist. I’ve heard of at least one occasion where a piece of software had something very similar in style and color to a post-it note and 3M complained. ---

Note that the color depends on your theme. Most of the light themes are the post-it yellow. The Dark theme is poop-brown. The Straight Dope Dark theme is a yellowish green ([banana slug green?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_slug#/media/File:Two_Banana_Slugs.jpg)). Graceful theme is a pleasant light mint-green. And Vincent doesn’t have any color on mod notes. ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > And Vincent doesn’t have any color on mod notes. ?? Yes, it does. At least it does on my screen. I was just coming to say that in Vincent, it’s a Velveeta Cheese yellow orange. ---

And I’d say the Dark Theme is more burnt orange. ---

Here’s Straight Dope Dark for me: [![](https://i.imgur.com/crLP4nD.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/crLP4nD.png) Plain Dark: [![](https://i.imgur.com/2jaV5Dn.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/2jaV5Dn.png) And Vincent: [![](https://i.imgur.com/FCaLlas.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/FCaLlas.png) Burnt orange vs poop-brown could be difference in our monitors (or how we name colors). But I’m not sure why @Aspenglow sees a color with Vincent and I don’t. ---

Wow, no Velveeta cheese line on what you see, huh? You’re missing out! It’s even there for me in your embedded image. Yet another Discourse glitch… maybe post the concern in Site Feedback? I should mention, though, they don’t seem too concerned about how things show up in Vincent. I think it may be a non-supported theme now. ---

I see the cheese. It’s just not the entire post. It’s just a line on the side. I think that’s why @Aspenglow is referencing macaroni and cheese (i.e. Velveeta). It’s much less noticeable than in all the other themes. I didn’t notice it until @Aspenglow’s reply. ---

OK, I see it now. Although I’d say it’s more unnoticeable than “less noticeable.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=127) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=129)
