Did you know that women can see more colours than men? And that only men can be colour blind?

Software bugs.

Assuming you still mean here on WP, could you be more specific as to what and for how long?

Yes, here on WP. A user only needs any functional browser; all the action happens on the WP site.

Hmm, I wish I could be more specific. It's as derived from various comments I've seen around WP.

The version of forum software seems to be a bit old and although still very functional, it does have flaky areas - like blogs.
Many things have likely been fixed or improved since the existing version was released - but, there have also been some unique customisations made here which wouldn't make a simple installation of a newer version any easier. Things would probably break quite easily and we might end up with no WP for a while.
Plus, there's the look-n-feel to consider. It wouldn't do to have it change radically because that would risk confusing or alienating users.
Whilst it may be possible to tweak the blog functionality specifically, I would guess that for various reasons this has proven difficult and/or ineffective and may well have been postponed until an eventual general forum software upgrade is scheduled.

Unfortunately these are all things which are out of the hands of moderators who, while having full control over the housekeeping and day-to-day running, have no control over the site's actual coding or infrastructure.
That's an administrator function, and as far as I'm aware - that means Alex (plus maybe a couple of others).

You might find something specific here (I've not searched exhaustively): http://www.wrongplanet.net/forum13.html
Or failing that, ask specifically there.

Sorry to appear picky, but colour blindness is simply more prevalent in men than women.
According to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness it's 8% and 7% of males for Australia and America respectively, against 0.4% of women.
A couple of other sites seem to confirm the Wikipedia numbers too.

In some ways I'd say that WP is like many other places on the web with it's host of ups & downs, good & bad etc.
Honestly there was a time when I was spread out on the internet in terms of being an active mermber of various messageboards and forums even had been part of various social networking sites at one time.These days, I tend to not spread myself out across the net for, somethings are not what they used to be as well, having been a victim of identity theft, I've learned what to say and what not to disclose..Anyways, WP is more or less a nice place to visit.

I'm off to the organ loft for a spot of late night practice and general footling about, so -
goodnight, WP.

I won't be watching the Canucks game tonight. I don't want to see them lose on national television, thank you.

Mine too. Even though it would make me very sick. I seriously need to train my mind to recognize these things as bad. :lol:
