Logged in? Are you series? This is hugh! You know the drill! BTW, you may be hallucinating on the color.

Nah. It's interesting that your post appears orange, though.

Nah. It's interesting that your post appears orange, though.

And yours seem so small, now.

And yours seem so small, now.

And, yours is purple. And flashing.

Don’t see it flashing. Reverse hallucination or blocked html code?

I'm still trying to figure out why the “new posts to you” glows constantly red — whether there are new posts there or not.

You have to click a button to clear your pings.

Apparently, you can go back to the old way in your preferences.

It's flashing on my browser. Can't say about yours, though.

You can push the button at the top to "mark all read" or go to your account and change the preferences to auto clear.

Okay.

Thank you.

[MinuteGal]

Thanks.....I was having the same problem (permanent red) till I happened on your post here. Spending too much time each morning trying to figure out the reconfiguration mystery of the day.

Browser problem. It works with FireFox.

Go to your “Account” click on “My Preferences” & change the pings to automatic.

On my "pings" page all of my posts just turned green.
Moose are not green.
Soylent Green is, well, green.
But, not my posts......

You're right, the puke green font is ugly and looks ridiculous.

I would think that Freepers are smart enough to figure out which posts are their own when they see their nicknames as the posters. (Besides just remembering their own words.)

I find that "explanation" quite condescending and insulting.

Besides, I can think of better ways to tell me something was my post other than making my words look like puke.

On top of that, the new one-color font lacks the features of a) distinguishing text when used as a link and b) distinguishing an unclicked link from a clicked link.

And the non-shrunken font helps make the whole page more cluttered-up and difficult to take in.

I wish they would just put my My Comments page back the way it was before.

I'll add that "Koran green" is the Muslims' favorite color.

The first time I saw the puke, I thought the site had been hacked by Islamicists.
