Why can't I see the glowing/colored usernames?

Hi, I just bought a username color and entered F0F8FF, but it never changed. Did I do it wrong? Does it take a while? Thanks!

I see your color... It's a pale shade, like off-white or pale blue. What browser are you using? I've heard that some of the name color effects aren't visible on certain browsers.

Okay, I tried it in Internet Explorer and I can see it. Sorry!
It is kinda hard to see... maybe I should Bold it.

Do You think I should Bold it or use the Glow feature?
You should be able to preview things like that.

It is weird how I can see other colors though...

Hey your new shadowed username looks great!

Thanks... Sorry about deleting the WHOLE thread... I was trying out CPF on Internet Explorer and it messed up on me, I meant to delete the second post I made, which did get deleted I guess...

Ah, no problem there, mods can see threads and posts that members delete, and I just thought it was a good question. I'm sure your thread will be helpful to others who have different browsers and don't see the effects, they don't know what they're missing! Thanks for letting me undelete it.

No they don't... I have used Firefox for a long time, but I think I will be using IE for at least CPF, I'm amazed at how many people have username fx! Yours looks really cool, the title is hard to see though.

Do you think it's better now? I'll have to find a different font, I don't like it that bold.

Yeah, That is a lot easier to see, some of the letters are very close together though, but don't change the colors, I like how it matches your username. I don't have enough CPF$$ to play around with mine. But do try another font and see how it looks.

Not even necessary. You can get an extension for FireFox called IEtab. It will allow you to view pages in IE while still using FF. Check it out.

Oh, I know. I have it, but that is what I was using when it got messed up and I deleted this thread. So I'm just gonna use IE for now on CPF. I'm kinda sad...

I might even try the Yahoo! Browser that I got from Verizon.

~~It's basically a skinned version of IE7, so it has Tabs which is one of the main reasons I like Firefox. But IE/Yahoo! Browser is sooooo slow compared to Firefox. That is the real reason I like Firefox, along with the fact I only get like 1 popup every few weeks!~~

When the letters are close together when you first view a page using FF with IEtab, just refresh the page.

Just did it here and it looks fine.

Well, I have Netscape Browser 8.1 and I actually really like it. It is basically Firefox with IEtab built in because all of the settings and download manger are almost exactly like Firefox 1.5.0.3 but it is so far more compatible with sites than Firefox is. I'm sorry Mozilla. By the way, if it wern't for Netscape, there wouldn't be a Firefox.

My only problem with Netscape and IE, is they both have the problem with, if have more than one NS or IE Window open, if one crashes it takes them all with it. Have not had that problem with FF. If one dies, I just kill the one that dies and the rest stay open. IE on the other hand will more often than not cause windows it get "HINKY" if it crashes for some reason, forcing a reboot.

I know I know, don't use Windows. Hehehe well if I wanna keep playing a few of the games I like playing on my computer I'm gonna have to keep windows, at least on that system anyway.

Okay everyone, I AM back on Firefox! It is really just so much faster (on DSL) and I love all the extensions, I just wish Adblock Plus worked with IETab. But there is also an extension called reloadchromezilla, that will restart firefox without actually closing/opening back up Firefox in case you install a lot of extensions or themes.


Sorry about getting off-track. hehe. Ciao.



P.S. Go here and tell us what Extensions and themes you use!
