Regarding the color change to the forums

Neuron Pink is more like it!

I guess Dave could have committed the ultimate April Fools Joke on all of us and taken the entire site down! Can you imagine? I know a lot of us would have really, really be traumatized by that!

Dave, I won't complain about the bright hot pink any more! LOL.

shhhh Lin!!

Don't give him any ideas!!

Or set it so all links re-direct to Disney like the old GW days.

I think I'm glad I missed it. I wonder how many DGers logged in and never found this thread and really thought it was just the new look...that maybe we all voted for "BRIGHT, AGGRAVATING, NEON PINK"! as what we wished for most in this week's poll.

If any lab rat tested better to that color I'm wondering what drugs they were also testing on him?

So much better my rage has subsided! LOL

Too late for my cat who jumped on my lap during my pink period...

I first found the pink on another forum, then went here and laughed for 5 minutes straight reading the explaination Dave gave out. Really good.

Gotta say, that color made my teeth hurt!

Naaah ... I know Dave wouldn't do something like that. Can you imagine if he took the site down for 24 hours - the amount of feedback he'd be getting afterwards? Even if it were for repairs or something, he'd be bombarded with mail after the fact! Too much of a headache I'm sure for an April Fools joke of that sort ... that really wouldn't be fun or funny to subscribers or to Dave.

We do take so much for granted. This "Garden" has become a home away from home to so many of us. We log on and chat with friends on a daily basis, learn about new and old plants, post our photo's, ooh and aah over other's photo's, research plants etc.

Thank You Dave & Co. for this Wonderful Garden ... just blooming with friendship!

I think it should have stayed longer, reading other forums with their confusion (and appall ) is fun. Scrolling past the pink at the top is fast enough and Kell never saw it!

I was shocked also. However Dave, I found it actually "functional" when I was responding to a post and when I went to preview it, someone else had posted immediately before me. It was the PINK that prompted me to read their reply before posting mine. Yeah, usually there's the red promting me. Who'd a thunk it! That pink really screams at you to pay attention.

Site wide? Yeah, great April fools joke, Dave. Hehehe.

ROFL, Dave. I just responded and AGAIN someone had written before I did and BINGO, there was the pink. You're too funny.

I didnt read the whole thread... but gotta admit... that PINK is tough on the eyes.
maybe something a lil more subtle.

Glad I found this thread..LOL..I thought gremlins attacked my computer while I was away..Such a Bright Pink..Good One Dave : )

AH -- yes... hopefully it's April Fools on us. ROFL

okay, okay, okay. I get the joke!!! (I knew it had to be either the last server doing a crash-and-burn or a prank.) So can you please change the helpdesk queue color back to the riotous shade of blue or green? Chuckle....

Yeah, it's back!

Having a relapse.

I am still seeing pink, I think it is burned into my retina

LOL, blinded by the light comes to my mind!!!!!!!!
You did it again Dave, scared the bejejes out of everyone!

Hey, back when Hayden Fry was the head football coach at the University of Iowa, he painted the opposing teams locker rooms pink. He thought it was psychological ploy to relax the opposing teams and take them off their game a bit. They are still pinkish, and considering Iowa's football record in the past few years, maybe they goofed up and painted the home teams locker rooms pink too! :)

LOL

Good one!

Got my welder's mask on.

It does scream at you and make you pay attention, doesn't it? I wonder if we'd ever get used to that neon pink if it was permanent?

Excellent choice, Dave. Who would have thought neon pink would be so restful. To complete the mood, I've slipped in a CD of Irish penny whistle music and placed a tack on the seat of my office chair. I'm on my way to the kitchen to whip up a batch of V8 and Hawaiian punch to sip as I surf DG in splendor.

Punk rock is more appropriate.

I think you should keep it!!!

NOT>>>>>>>>


but a change from the green would be nice!

I really do hope this is an April Fool's Joke.... Dave. Dave. Dave???

☺

hahahaha.

Best part was the explanation of the cool, calming effect of the pink. How long did it take you to think that one up, Dave? Love it.

LouC

I came to this forum as soon as I was able to find my sunglasses and my eyes lost their glaze. I was about to call 911 thinking I had a stroke! LOL

do the lingering pink lines go away on their own, like sun spots...... or do I need to order something for it?

Thought the site had been hijacked by an x-rated hacker.

Nice practical joke.

Nowback to "our normally scheduled" colors, please.

I was waiting for something, but not THAT! That color is burned into my eyeballs - have to go wash dishes or something.

Good one, Dave!

I left my computer on all night, and thought it was having a tantrum. or I had just lost my mine.
Very Funny Dave

I was wondering all day yesterday what you would do, Dave!!! Nice April Fools Joke!!!

Oh Dave, way funny. But I have to admit, it definitely woke me up this morning!

Tsk, tsk, very naughty, but very funny, thanks Dave. Happy April Fool's Day to you too.

I used to work for a woman who had the office & desks painted that color, I assure you, it is not relaxing. Looked like a Barbie Doll Dreamhouse, often referred to as the Pink Palace.
