I think the board's colour should, of course, be green. Just as LT once extended the District Line's colour over the whole of the sub-surface lines on the Beck map in the 1940s!

Nice thought, but wicked!! Choice of colour was deliberately a non-LU-line one since we do not have the facility to make a title using all four colours in consecutive letters across the heading.  |

There's more than enough green and green-line related stuff here already thank you. This site is so green, it has the smallest carbon footprint in the world. (Very wise decision by the forum staff to choose an independant colour ) EDIT: Unless my eyes deceive me, the "Forum Rules and How To Do" section also has similar colour text. Well, if it's a tutorial about how to run a railway, then the Met-Line part of the SSR is where to look ;D |

We had decided to try and draw attention to that area as it is very much under used, however we're not altogether happy with the effect and are looking at other alternatives. Rather than constantly change it, it'll remain as is for now - it won't change again until we've settled on a better way of drawing attention to that area. Mind you, if you've noticed it, perhaps we have achieved what we set out to do!! ;D ;D |

The last thing I want to end up doing is posting some rant about the District in a tutorial about changing the size of your avatar ;D **I hastened to add that neither before my post the other day nor today have I had a drink. It's not even 9am  ;D |

Well then hopefully we have eased your dilemma on account that we have agreed and implemented a different way of drawing attention to the rules & tutorials area....
