Do you use colours/colors on your mylot profile? I have seen many users use colors and some times I can't see the things properly as what is written there. I am amazed why guys use those dark colors under which we can't read the titles of discussions properly. As for me, I don't know much about color combination and I don't like doing experiments too so, I have used a yellow color on my HTML storie and let the other use the default color and that is a white one. What is your choice? Ye, I can see your profile but it would be interesting to know from you that what color you use!

Hi Sanu, color combination at the profile page is as mysterious as the their algorithm is. It was all default so long for I failed miserably to edit my profile and seeing all Topsy-turvy I reset to the default lay out. Yesterday again tried and now this is with a black boarder and the rest is the same. Yes, I too have observed that you can not read what is their for all wring is sandwiched between this and that color.

I use colours on my profile. Purple is my favourite colour and I have chosen a purple background, the text is written in blue and in yellow. When I first joined MyLot I was excited to discover the differrent colours and I was determined to create a cool profile in my favourite colours. I chose a purple background and silly as I was I thought that purple text would look great, too. So I made everything purple, and that was a terrific idea except from the fact that it was completely impossible to read the words! I didn't think about that I just left it the way it was, but after a while I started to wonder why I didn't have a page called interest rankings when everyone else did. I couldn't help laughing at myself when I discovered that my interest rankings and the other details had been there all along, it was just impossible to read it, because it was purple text on a purple background!

It is always good to see us making silly mistakes. I mean how many times we live our childhood days in our life. Only once but in mylot we can live that life again, isn't it? Mys is back, now, I will have to work hard to find where she goes because her mum has asked me to look after her!

I don't use any colors on my mylot profile sanuanu. I'm rather lazy to do such tedious work. I'm always happy with the default setting with the original simple two colors. I prefer to see the conspicuous black words on the while background easily I like to read all those words or sentences clearly and easily from the profile I have visited. If I find difficulty to read the blurred sentences or contents because of the inappropriate colors matched I will then leave the profile without any hesitation. I don't bother if there is any interesting topic there. Happy posting and have a nice day.

Yes, I have seen your profile and I like it because you are using the default layout, you have not chosen to have your discussion pane in your profile. I have asked you many times to have that pane in your profile so that I don't have to visit your discussion page but every thing is right because you don't start discussions a lot so, even if you choose to have tht pane in your profile, I will hav to visit discussion page as I would like to see some of the older discussions! Thanks for responding pal and happy lotting!

To be frankly, I’m really poor in doing this. Could you kindly tell me step by step how to do it? Yeah, I remember you have told me before how absent minded I’m! Anyway it’s okay that you will receive email notification in case I have started a new discussion. Just enjoy doing what you wish to do here.

Hi there sanu! Yellow is my profile colour. Yellow like the sunshine Yellow like my face too I agree with you that some profiles are too complicated making them difficult to read. Some are very heavily loaded too making them difficult for users who have a slow connection. If there is too much stuff many will not be able to view it. Hope all is well with you sanu

Well, I thought that everything should go well but .. you have to visit some of my discussion as I had a big fight with one of friend at mylot. Yes, it was my mistake but it gave me some uneasy hours at mylot. Well, I had one more mis understanding with one user at mylot again and this time it was on my profile. Rest is fine. I am laughing at the post in which a guy was wondering why can't he see his/her interest ranking due to back ground colors! Ha ha ha!

I also don't like the striking colors of some members on their profiles as I have a hard time reading everything on it. I don't know how to change the colors and I would still prefer the default profile settings here on myLot. Its simple and easy to read everything on it.

Yes, I use colors on my mylot profile. However, I used a Myspace layout rather than the color combination that mylot offers us as I wanted my profile to not only look pretty, but stand out as well.

You have got a good profile which looks awesome but I find it little difficult reading the discussions due to the color and the beautiful flowers in the back ground.

Oh, I could see your profile but you should have one profile photo with your account because you have a lovely user name, use one good photo and your profile will get four moons to it. It was just a suggestion my friend, am not asking you to do something.

Hi there, I have visited your profile and it is a good one but because everything is readable and it is soothing to my eyes too. It would have been bad if you would have used light foreground colors but you didn't. TIll now it is a good one and I am sure, you will make some improvement to make it one of the best in the world!

Hi sanuanu, I have just stuck with the default colours so far on my profile. I might mess around with it some time and jazz it up a bit. I know what you mean some profiles can be hard to read with dark colours on them but some of the profiles sure do look nice

Not only dark colors but dark fonts too. You will have to press ctrl+A to get to read what was written on their profile, isn't it? Well, I think I hae start using colors on my profile, I hope I can make a good use of colors.

Yes the dark fonts on a dark background are very hard to read. I did not know that ctrl+A selects all the text. Thanks for that it will make the dark profiles easier to read

I don't have color in my profile not because i don't like it but i am just lazy maybe to apply it perfectly after few times of trying.My favorite colors are yellow, green and red so maybe if i am the mood to try it again then i would surely put color these colors.

I don't know if you have changed your profile after making this response but I could find some colors on your profile now. It is like yellow and light brown. All in all, nice effort, I hope that you will be using colors in the same way you are using and will make your profile the best at mylot.

Good day, sanuanu. You are right, many of us prefer to use dark colors. I use black background and the color of the text was green and blue, seems that it was glowing in the dark so it is readable. It also looks cool. The only thing that was not changed to my profile was my avatar. It was still the default one. This is my response, enjoy posting..=)

I tell you, I like your profile colour very much my friend and I like the use of dar colors. Althought, what I like the most was that you used default color on your discussion pan so that I can read them more clearly!

I haven't fooled with mine, but I do wonder if those that do ever return to heir profiles and take a second look. surely they could see the rest of us can't read it the way they have presented it.

Huh! I do't know what they think of themselves. They might think that use of every colors can make their profile look good or they don't have confidence on their eyes and leave that job to us. Result: They don't get their profile visited for many times!

I use black on the background, but I don't mess up with the text and the inside of the sortie where the content is text (if the content is simply an image then there's no problem). I also find it annoying when people use non-contrasting colors on their text sorties because it makes it very hard to read. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I like customizing my profiles on websites instead of using the default layout, even if it's doubtful that many people would even visit my profile lol. My color scheme is gray and pink. I try not to make the profile hard on the eyes because it's annoying when you go to a page and it's impossible to read or blinding lol.

It is a nice profile I came to visit and I must admit it is soothing to the eyes too. I think my pc is slow and that is why when I open your profile it is was not responding for a while, I think due to radion you have used in your profile But one of the best on mylot, I must admit

I simply use the white profile color. It is good enough for me. I do use other color profies on other websites. such as a dark profile on one, but everthing will show up and be clerly read.

yeh some profiles are really hard to read. They use really bright writing or dark backgrounds. Mine is the default one though. I think you need to pick good colours so people can read things well.

Hi Mac, High contrast colors can't be good for eyes, so we must avoid those colors. Mylot provides a best example of using light color as background and dark as foregroud. So, we can use light colors like pink, yellow as background and we can choose any dark colors for foreground! Thanks for responding.
