Hi all - I'm new to PureBasic and just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying this forum. Both the topics and its format. Very well done. Have been using GFA32 for several years but there was no real support and you can't make an exe. First computer was a Radio Shack Color Computer (16 k and 4 colors). You saved programs with a tape recorder; I was amazed the first time that it really worked. Wrote several articles for the Rainbow. Finally got an Amiga 500 and then 3000. Really great. Wrote some articles for their Tech Journal. At least every magazine I wrote for has gone out of business. Don't know that much about advanced programming (structers, procedures, etc). My favorite command is still "Goto ...". Most of my future questions will be very basic ones. I don't even know how to use these emoticons.
One forum format question. Is it possible to change or increase the color of the scroll bar on the right side oi the page. With these older eyes that pale, pale blue is hard to see. Not a big deal, just a wish.
Thanks for all the advice I've already gotten

welcome to the forum... another former gfa user (done vic20, atari 400/600xl, amiga 2000, some other stuff and now pc's... you're not the only one with a shady history )

Yeah that pale blue is quite hard to see. To change colour schemes go to your profile (profile.php?mode=editprofile) and select a different board style.

Thanks Kale - cool! Also changes whole appearance; neat. Lots of choices, I see. Is there a general favorite? Never would have tried this. Thanks again.

for Blueznl - btw, it was your web site that first introdeuced me to PureBasic. Never heard of it before then. And I used to go to a lot of basic sites listed in search engines. Wonder why PureBasic didn't come up as an alternative basic language? You've got some great stuff there for GFA users.
