New from Connecticut

Submitted by MzKitty on Sun, 06/07/2008 - 9:00am. New to Boma?

Hi,

I am a new member but not a new watcher. I have spent many an hour glued to the cams and keep this on as background all the time. It seems the bird, hyenas, lions, jackals baboons fit in quite well with any music I may also have going. Although the morning gucks can be quite raucous. This is my first post so I guess it's a test to see if it works. Question..is there any way to change the color of the grey text (against the black background) it's very hard to read.

Welcome to Africam!

White letters on black background is the standard setting on the Africam forum. You can change the colour of the letters in your own posts, but not the ones of other posts.

To change the colour of what you write, click on the little triangle next to the 'A' under the comment box and choose a colour from the palette.

Hope I did that right.. Thanks for the helpful suggestion, how about thegrey text above the submission boxes, can that be changed? Also another question, all of the sudden I can only open 1 camera at a time. The popup window changes to whatever camera I click on. I use to be able topen both at the same time. Help please Thanks!!

Hmmm - not sure what you mean. On my computer I don't see any grey text above the submission boxes. Shocked

But I don't think you can change any colours except the colour of what you write. So probably the answer is it can't be changed.

You can only open one pop up window at a time. But you can still watch both streaming cams at the same time. Here is how:

Open one cam in the pop up window
Open a new browser window and go to www.africam.com
Open the other cam by clicking on one of these buttons:
or
Resize the window if you wish

Hope that helps! Smiling

I meant the text right above the reply area that says "Comment:" or the one above it that says "Your name" But as you say it the sites color so probably can't be changed.

MzKitty/Kathy, welcome to Africam. I know exactly what you mean about listening to the sounds as background sounds. I am so lost if the cams are down cuz it is so quiet. Hope to see you around at campfire or watering hole chat soon.

Now I see it.

No, the colour can't be changed.

Hi Karen A, Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to chatting with you and everyone else. So glad I can again get both cams up at the same time too! I hear hyenas calling.
