On my "pings" page all of my posts just turned green.

Moose are not green.

Soylent Green is, well, green.

But, not my posts......

Seriously. Check your pings. Are your posts green or some ohter color?

John Robinson is having fun again, I think.

Now we know the real reason you won’t be voting for Barack Hussein Obama - You don’t tolerate change well.

Green is a happy color. Be happy.

Ummmm... Isn't forcing us to accept a color we don't like antithetical to freedom and liberty? I don't mind the chang at all. I just wish I could pick something besides pea green.

Good one! St. Patrick's Day is long past. I could never imagine the Robinsons going "green".

Just because you missed the deadline for voter registration, that’s no reason to criticize the winning color.

I saw that thread but didn’t catch the “greening” part. I like the idea but green? Oh well.

It is sort of like moving the furniture around.

You move it here,
you move it there,
you add a lamp,
you remove the lamp,
you move the coffee table against the wall,
you move it back to the middle of the room....

And you end up with most of the furniture back at its original location.

Nah. It's interesting that your post appears orange, though.

Don’t see it flashing. Reverse hallucination or blocked html code?

I'm still trying to figure out why the “new posts to you” glows constantly red — whether there are new posts there or not.

You have to click a button to clear your pings.

Apparently, you can go back to the old way in your preferences.

It's flashing on my browser. Can't say about yours, though.

Thanks.....I was having the same problem (permanent red) till I happened on your post here. Spending too much time each morning trying to figure out the reconfiguration mystery of the day.

You're right, the puke green font is ugly and looks ridiculous.

I would think that Freepers are smart enough to figure out which posts are their own when they see their nicknames as the posters. (Besides just remembering their own words.)

I find that "explanation" quite condescending and insulting.

Besides, I can think of better ways to tell me something was my post other than making my words look like puke.

On top of that, the new one-color font lacks the features of a) distinguishing text when used as a link and b) distinguishing an unclicked link from a clicked link.

And the non-shrunken font helps make the whole page more cluttered-up and difficult to take in.

I wish they would just put my My Comments page back the way it was before.

I'll add that "Koran green" is the Muslims' favorite color.

The first time I saw the puke, I thought the site had been hacked by Islamicists.
