Yellow mustard on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Try it. You'll thank me.

As do the elderly.

Hey Matt, how's the edit function for comments coming along? Do you need any help (not that I can, but I'm sure plenty of others can).

I guess he's talking about the link text on grey background? Maybe? Maybe not?

Allow me to demonstrate, visually, what I think he means.

I'm guessing the dog is getting a little ripe these days, and rxrfrx objects to the odor.

I guess it has to be about the link color on the MeTa background. Not sure what else he could be referring to.

Anyway, it looks fine to me. What doesn't go with gray?

heh, sorry for not being more specific. The problem is the gray bar with yellow links that's recently appeared in the Blue:

what browser are you using? I don't see anything like that in ie or ffx.
posted by boo_radley at 3:59 PM on June 23, 2006


Firefox 1.5.0.4, Windows XP, on two different computers. Greasemonkey and Adblock are disabled.

It looks fine in IE.
posted by rxrfrx at 4:01 PM on June 23, 2006


It's gray in Fx Safe Mode, too. But I just tried a third computer (same software) and it looks OK. Strange.

give a man an anus, and he'll eat for a day. teach a man to anus, and he'll eat for a lifetime.

If you had an anus, you'd be a menace to society. As you are anus-differently-abled, you are merely a menace to MeFi.

One person sees a gray bar with yellow print and right away someone else wants jam. That story has a moral, maybe.
posted by Cranberry at 11:47 PM on June 23, 2006


casconed, that is one of the funniest things I've read. Ever. Thank you.

IIHAA, that is an inspired illustration.
I can perfectly visualize one half million pounds of MetaFilter and it ain't pretty.

So a man walks into a gray bar...

"Ouch!" he says.

... and says to the bartender, "you don't see many colorful people around here, do you?"
