Hi PD's......Eddy....I do like the image of our "Paddle Duck" centered between the "e & the d"...in the title....but could we take a vote?  :gathering

1) my vote is to make the word 'Paddleducks', the same colour as the body of the Emblem = brilliant YELLOW....not that limey green colour  :nahnah....regards

Hello all, Derek must have been on a Sunday night aperitif  :beer because for me and most of the others I presume the  :weight duck :weight  is still on the left hand side before the P   and has yet to go  on its' Easter break and make the  break for the middle  ;D.

Duck
Bread Crumbs. This is the only way to entice the duck back to the left Derek.

cheers

What most of you don't know is that I'm colourblind, so how the heck do I know what the right yellow is?

And no, I'm not kidding!

Hi PD's....I think Mr Someone is trying to take the mickey out of me......& for what ever reason  :breakcomp...Alt+Print Screen ...then Control V only provides the LOGO & not the full screen  :ranting...so here is a photograph of the page with the DUCK LOGO central.......if the DUCK is on the left in the Shetlands then so be it  :nahnah :towel

What is your screen resolution set at Derek?

Here's what Jim and most others see:

Hi PD's & Eddy...the image you have posted with our DUCK to the left was as seen by me until last Sunday evening & I hope Jim will understand that I was DEAD sober at some stage last Sunday  :beer :porkies...no no no

Seriously I thought that you had centered our ICON ......I have not changed any of my PC settings...I will respond to you question after I work out  :breakcomp to find the resolution display sizing/setting..... :hehe

I have to admit I'm as confused as you are Derek - Nothing has been altered on the site to cause the problem your experiencing, and your resolution should display things fine.....

About the only thing I can suggest is that next time your online (and reading this), press Ctrl+F5 (ie, hold down the Ctrl key and press F5 at the same time). That will refresh your browsers cache, just in case your reading a slightly corrupted file...

OK PD's..... :hehe our system moderator Eddy suggests ....'nothing has been altered on the site to cause the problem your experiencing'


Well...I woudn't have considered it a problem....the DUCK logo being mid page is OK to me......if you Northern hemi people insist on the DUCK to the left than so be it

BTW Eddy....I tried ......Ctrl+F5 (ie, hold down the Ctrl key and press F5 at the same time]...resulted in a 4 second WHITE out...then  = DUCK still in the central position  :picknose :ranting :shhh :beer

The only other thing I can think of is that your computer downloaded an update last weekend, either for your videocard driver or for your browser....

There has to be a reason somewhere for the sudden change.

My version has the Duck on the left. I like it, and the colour scheme as well.

Could I ask if the News item
on the top could be written
all across the page, instead
of like this please.

I find it involve a lot of scrolling before we can reach the interesting letters, unless, of course you intend you put another Duck by the side.   :D :D

Excellent forum, keep up the hard work

Cheers...Ken

Hi Derek et al, I think the  :thinking duck did a little migratory  :vacation traipse across to the middle, decided it did not like  :oops to be configured this way, went back to the correct side and dismissed Dereks' suggestion as a  :nono and won't be doing that again (well not in Shetland anyway) for a long time. Unless the Jacobs Creek finest reserve Chardonnay is brought out by the bucketfull this weekend by you know who  ;)

cheers

Jim  ;D
