Dearest Admins/Mods,
a. Is this blue thingy a permanent feature for here?
b. Where is the chat room option located?
c. Where is the usual link to the sister site, Dharma Wheel?
Many thanks in advance.

Quick Questions

Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

The sentence in my signature is false

I like the blue theme better, save yourself some work and let it stand 
In reading the scriptures, there are two kinds of mistakes:
One mistake is to cling to the literal text and miss the inner principles.
The second mistake is to recognize the principles but not apply them to your own mind, so that you waste time and just make them into causes of entanglement.

Hmmm, the blue is more calming, but I prefer the usernames and avatars being on the left (super-picky)

The yella and the orange will be back shortly while we work out the glitches. We had to make a temporary revert back to the default template to get some other functions working again.
The other functions not working right now, including the tool bar, chat room, avatars back to the left, etc., will be fixed shortly too.

Is this a good opportunity to replace the boat wheel?
Just throwing that out there.

Actually i find the blue theme more pleasing to the eye than the yellow.
We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to
the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his
children smart.

"Bhikkhus, there are these three kinds of clinging. What three? Clinging to the form, clinging to the forum and clinging to the form of the forum. When ignorance is abandoned and true knowledge has arisen in a bhikkhu, then with the fading away of ignorance and the arising of true knowledge he no longer clings to the form, no longer clings to the forum and no longer clings to the form of the forum."

A blue-toned DW would indeed be more soothing on the eyes and possibly the mind, imho.
When this is, that is.
From the arising of this comes the arising of that.
When this isn't, that isn't.
From the cessation of this comes the cessation of that.

I also prefer blue, but yellow/orange is also not too bad either.
