Is This Supposed To Be Blue?

Post by Jerry Hudgens » Sun Jul 23, 2017 10:03 am

Is the color of this page supposed to be blue?

If it is, then I am having to give up on G503. I just can't take this blue. The green was fine.

Looks like a new version of the software has a new color...maybe they can change the color but right now there are other issues they seem to be sorting out.

Flyboys or blue orchids probably like it!

Blue orchids - Derogatory term for Air Force personnel [used by soldiers and sailors in reference to their preciousness and scarceness]. Also a non-derogatory term used to describe RAAF personnel during WW2 due to their Service Dress Uniform appearing more glamorous than that of other Commonwealth Air Forces.

Looks like Ron got a new provider; I don't like blue either, but we aren't the ones paying for it, are we?

Not to complain, but sometimes I cannot connect to the site. I'm sure Ron will get it straightened out soon.

As a currently serving Fly boy I suppose I better like it.......but I don't. Not complaining though, it's the content that makes the forum rather than its colour.

I haven't been on the GEE for a week or two. When did the color change to OD? I was okay with the blue, but it's like old times again now.
