Is the evolution of technology cyclical? Over a decade ago, Access was being used commonly as a front-end and SQL was a common back-end of databases. Web page design was a mix of JAVA, XML, and C+, with flex HTML. Who knows what the future may bring? I am appreciative that many volunteers are working hard to try and keep WT working. I am just a bit confused about the direction and how to assist our newer members other than refering them to the Help Index and G2G discussions that are pertinent to their inquiries. I had so enjoyed many of the weekly profile winners that used font color to break out lines in text, the floating and padding of images, special fonts that elicited a cerebral transport into the time and place, scroll boxes that contained extranious data such as wills. Of course some creativeness such as color schemes that didn't 3:1 ratio and unicorn fonts (just an example) were usually edited prior to awarding profiles as winners; but, have we reverted to a sterile, boring, look? I am already beginning to miss the concept of be bold, creative and experiment.
This recent change is similar to a professor I once had whom required everything be submitted in Arial or Times New Roman 12 pt font and double spaced so that he could use his OCR program to look for plagurism, LOL
