Bright red buttons???

They are there as a design feature, one would assume, to allow us to find the sub-forum we're looking for more easily.

You having a lot of trouble finding forums Art?

Well you noticed them didn't you?

So they most work

Noticed?  Yes.  Found useful?  No.

I don't know about Art, but there sure are LOTS of "newer" folks that didn't seem to understand the difference between the "3RS Forum" and the "3-Rail Trains Forum"!

Hopefully these new "Red Buttons" will reduce some of that "confusion".

Reading and comprehension, generally works too.

Maybe that's the point.  Just brings back memories of all the red titles.

I think it would be more helpful to separate the different forums if each had a different color background.

Trains: red

Layout building: green

Control systems: blue

etc.

Different colors are an interesting idea, and would probably be easier to pick out the correct forums.

Don't know if you noticed but the OGR logo is red and white.  Just sayin'

I'm not sure what the color of the logo has to do with color coding forum sections...

Hmmm...not a bad idea.

Give me a suggestion for a "color code" for the various forums. Those colors and the graphics themselves can be changed.

Yeah, color coding. Why didn't I think of that?

Maybe put orange lettering on a blue background for the DCS forum, and yellow on purple for TMCC/Legacy, and...oh, wait,......maybe not!!!

I wasn't trying to take credit for your idea, honest, I was just agreeing with you.

I know you weren't trying to take the credit. That was for Rich.

All I can say is, "Yeah, color coding. Why didn't I think of that?" 

I'll try your idea, Jim. Orange and blue, yellow and purple...shoot...that's EASY!

I thought the "buttons" were a good idea, to help call attention to the different forum categories. Color coding could be an even better idea, as long as the different color combinations all have good contrast for easy readability.

Well, now I know how Rodney Dangerfield felt.

Yeah...I don't get no respect...  

I have an natural, instinctive aversion to the red buttons because, after all, everyone knows you NEVER push the red button.

Well, we have something in common there.

The new color coding of the "buttons" looks good and helps differentiate the forms.

(idea originally suggested by Vulcan)

Real trains = Reading green and yellow OR black with yellow lettering like 765 and Reading T-1's in Iron Horse Ramble paint schemes

3 Rail = Maybe orange for flame wars or black and blue for posts that slug it out

Just a thought, maybe each of the sub-groups should have a common color combo, like the National Club News and Forum Help.

Now, THAT is a great idea!  

Hey ! I like the colors
