New rule added to the forum

Post by IanKennedy »

Certain users have been appointed by the administrators as forum moderators - they're the ones with their names in green. Their role is to assist the admins in running the forum, such as by ensuring threads are in the right place and by enforcing the rules of the forum. If they ask you to do something, in particular, if they post an instruction in green writing, it is an indication that they are acting in their official role, and their instructions should be followed immediately. The use of such green text is limited to administrators and moderators for this purpose only.
So please take note that the instructions given to you by the mods in this way are binding and that the use of this colour of text is reserved for mod use only.

Well, Mark can't tell the difference between the shades of green... so I guess that would be all of them.

Honestly, with no joke it's never been noticable really until recently. I just realized I have a problem differentiating shades this last year, and my medical ins only covers one eye doctor visit every two years. I'll be elligable in 2011, so I fully intend to have that checked.

Green isn't the only problem, but its the worst. I've got problems with yellow shades too, and I can't tell certain blues from greens either.

Good god......I see in 16 bits!!! :worried:

Seems to have a slightly more blueish hue than green when looking closely.

But the big smiley...it SAYS "mr green" so I'm sure its green....but still looks a bit blue to me.

I can't either, but I'm horrifically colour blind. The green doesn't even look green to me :lol:

Darker shades tend to go more browny, lighter shades go more yellow. It does depend entirely how tired I am fairly knackered at the moment.

I had a test three years ago. Lovely book with numbers made of coloured dots. Colour blinds find different patterns on than those with normal vision. Both me and the old man have it, and have it quite strongly. I can see colours, just they are normally mixed up. Red usually becomes orange or brown, green becomes yellow or brown, blue an purple are horrible interchangeable. Some bluer shades of green physically hurt to look at.

Actually, Deep, I don't see that happening. You can be a hard-ass sunuvabitch, but you usually argue during the course of an argument.
