RE: Bad choice on new colors on classified!
I thought I screwed something up in my settings.
I have been trying to find it and put it back.
I agree, not an improvement

RE: Bad choice on new colors on classified!
I think we were down this road before. Long ago I had mentioned that statistics indicate that guys prefer blue...the original RCU home page was green...the least liked color by most guys of course is green. RCU finally changed it to blue...thank you...much nicer. Now..we have to see our highlighted ads in...once again...some sort of offensive green. Oh you may call it yellow, but I would argue against that. You may call it gold, but it doesn't make it anymore likeable. A true yellow, a soft yellow, or even a dirty yellow....like a Cub..would work. Just modify the tint somewhat...please, get rid of the green tint!!!
Thank you.
Thank you.

It's funny how a color can upset you, I usually hang around the classified section for a good while and enjoy perusing through all kind of adds, but this color really ticks me off, it upsets my mood, so I am not going in there again and will try to avoid it except for maybe for one of the items that I have on my automatic searches. It is understandable now why some companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollar playing with colors and letter types on add signs, choosing the wrong one could send them to the poor house for good.

The weird green color is still there...I guess they are not listening. C'mon guys...it's not a cave in to the viewers..it's just good marketing to tone it down some since it seems to be getting bad press.

Hey Marc, & co. Thanx for adjusting out the green tint highlight in the marketplace...now that is a real yellow, and a lot more pleasing to my eyes.

Walt, I think you should completely quit using the market altogether because of the color. Hell, you oughta run from the hobby altogether. Can you believe what a moron I am for picking that stupid color??? I should be taken out back and shot.
Better yet, just ask. I changed the color. I'll change it a 100 times if people hate it.
OK...I'm calm now.

I forgive you my child, as probably an accident of nature made you color blind! Fear not, no one is going to physically abuse you and you shouldn't think any less of your quality as a person only because some people share different views than your own.
You've done good now and your worthiness is totally re established. You can go and fly in peace!
