Sorry voddy - I changed to orange I consider myself slapped - didn't read the part about using vivid colours as I am new to this and don't know all the rules yet.

Well as one of the chat room op's I was thinking that I should offer a new years resolution of peace and goodwill to all men.....
then I woke up and thought sod it, zero tolerance would be more effective.
Maybe we should have a re-think of the rules. (but as a large number dont even read them) why should we waste our time.?
Only my opinion

OOPS sorry Voddy hun but icepie wrote some crap AGAIN I was trying to responde to but guess what as I hit publish he took it off :wanker:
Happy yule to one and all.
I gave up with the chatroom due to those who don't know how to use it properly and now keep in touch with people via pms/email and the dog.
I have trouble reading the dark colours so the vivid ones i dont have a chance
ermmm i wonder if thats because of my age
but i do agree there are some idiots who just love to go against the rules just for fun
and i also agree with midsman give us all kick buttons

I don't use the chatroom very often and certainly don't use the colours but can I just point out that there are plenty of people who use mIRC who have scripts that automatically add the colours! I used to programme scripts and the popup options often used colours and the majority of users do not know how to use the scripts properly.
I can certainly agree that the majority of colours are difficult to see easily ... but it does depend on a number of variables. If the java programme has a white background then the colours are harder to see than say on a black background (I have a black background on my mIRC).
For users of mIRC the options are limitless (ascii art, popups commands, music additions) and people are not necessarily idiots for using their own choice of software properly or improperly as th case maybe.
I've seen the mIRC interface recommended so many times and people just don't know how to use it properly.
Also maybe I might be missing something but "where" in the rules does it say colours are not allowed?

Just to throw in some trivia! Yellow is the last of the colours people who are losing their sight can distinguish (lime green and orange remain visable for quite some time too). That's why on public transport bell pushes and hand rails are usually these colours.
The person who had the problem in the chat room the other night was me
since my stroke and brain operation I have a problem with fluorescent coloured fonts
especially the lime green, pink and yellow
No theres no rules about colours
But I for one get shooting pains in my head if exposed to them for a period of time. That particlular night there were several very fluorescent yellow fonts . and i had to leave. The pain was unbearable, and i had a headache on and off for 2 days.
Its something i have to live with but would like it pointed out that bright especially fluorescent colours can also bring on migraines, and yes sometimes epileptic fits.
Is there any chance the fluorescent colours can be removed from the colour chart?
Sorry to be a pain in the bum

Vicky, I have no idea if you use mIRC or aleady know this but if you use mIRC then you do have the option to select which colours are used on your screen. You can set the background to one colour and text lines to any other colour. Each section is set differently so you can set all the Op commands for example to appear as another colour than red. Popups can be set as another colour .. and so on of your choosing.
You can then eliminate colours that you find give you headaches etc.
I suffer from migraines ... I find that a black background and white text in a large font and size helps me no end on mIRC. It might be an idea to have a fiddle with your settings.
