    Thank Goodness!

    I almost ran shrieking from my desk.

    But now that I think about it, running around the office shrieking does sound like a good idea.

    Kow,

    Edit: apparently the edit function does not allow the "title bar" thingy on top to be be tampered with.

    Does this forum use UBB or HTML code?

    Hi, again, beebuddy! I've enjoyed your posts. Thanks for staying around a day and helping us get roused to start baling water off this sinking ship called Western Civilisation. Sorry, if that seems far-fetched, but I believe our civilisation is badly off kilter, and that Buddhist thought and practice will be of great benefit to our woes.

    Brian or someone can tell you about whether this site uses UBB. HTML code is an option you can check in a box. You can send Brian (The Duke of Nothingham) a Private Message, by either looking for his name under members list at top of forum and clicking on Send a Private Message on the right in red, or finding one of his posts and clicking on his name in that.

    Is there any way to change the default font color and size globally? It's so small and low contrast that it causes eyestrain to these old eyes. No can see.

    Globally, there doesn't seem to be. God bless Federica and anyone else that posts in font size 2. They also don't have a debate board and there are MANY statements on this forum that are false and need to be challenged.

    I would love you to start a "challenge" thread, if Fede and Brian allow it. If there are, as you say, Kowtaaia, MANY statements to challenge, why not entitle the thread(s) "CHALLENGE" and we'll know it is disputational?

    It needs to be a section, not just a thread. Where does the thread go? Here's the problem. Say you read something on the BUDDHISM 101 board that's ridiculous, ignorant trash, founded on inattention. (strong enough?) Rather than challenge the 'r-i-t' there, it would be "better" to say well this statement is r-i-t and let's debate it, you know where. It's just an idea.

    * Whether Brian opens a separate forum specifically devoted to Discussions and Debates, or whether the above option is chosen, I really don't mind.
    But I think it extremely important to be even more mindful of language, terminology and content, and to be skillful with regard to our attitude towards others.
    As I have said before, (so I apologise for the repetition) there are no hard-and-fast Forum Rules, Regulations or Guidelines, because people are expected to be mature, considerate and adult enough to do the above for themselves. so I guess observation of what you know to be right, applies.
    Everyone is probably familiar with other fora, and aware of their Rules, Reg's and Guidelines. Everyone here is, I'm sure, aware of what constitutes 'Right Everything'.
    So: providing people are Mindful and Skillful...
    game on - !! *

    Tell you what - I'll post something in the 'Staff Forum and Discussions' where my colleagues and I talk about you all behind your backs!:wow: :lol:
    I'll see if I can get something concrete from Brian.... :)

    The problem is legibility when reading, obviously. The gray font color that displays in one's browser is too low a contrast for those with vision problems. Most browsers allow enlarging the font manually, but there's no way to change the color at the browser level.

    Some Bulletin Board systems allow some personal choice in the display. If this forum software doesn't permit that, it will limit the ability of certain posters (including this one) to participate. The gray is just too hard to see. :(

    SPAGHETTI SQUASH PIE

    1 med. spaghetti squash
    2 unbaked 9 inch pie crust or shells
    1 1/2 c. sugar
    1 tbsp. cornstarch
    1/2 c. butter, melted
    4 eggs yolks, beaten
    1 c. milk
    2 tsp. vanilla extract
    1/4 tsp. salt
    Whipped cream (optional)

    Cook squash in large pot with 2 inches salted water 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp tender turn after 10 minutes to cook evenly. Drain and set aside to cool. Using a fork, remove seeds and discard. Continue using fork, remove spaghetti like strands from inside squash. Place half of squash strands in each pastry shell. Spread evenly over bottom. Combine remaining ingredients except whipped cream. Mix well. Pour half of milk mixture over strands in each pastry shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until filling is set. Serve warm or cool. Top with whipped cream if desired. Makes 2 pies.
    May be used in place of coconut in pie or cake. Fun vegetable
