Congratulations, Max.

I have gotten in touch with my sister in Brazil you know the witch? She needs to know what shade of yellow before she can give me any accurate answer in what is in store for me. From left to right you know which one is it?

Please don't make me regret giving you a major award, Max. Posting screenshots of PMs between you and a moderator is unbecoming of the recipient of such a major award.

just asking here - does this yellow boots award mean the same as the the way yellow boots are judged on the NSM side? Not trying to stir the pot, truly. Just curious......

Wear them with pride Max. I looked in FAQ: What are all the Forum Awards & How do I get them? Nothing there about Yellow Boots award.

Awesome boots award, Max!
Ok, I went to see your new title but I can't seem to find them anymore? |

Okay that's enough of that. Thank you. I don't see any title on my cell phone. I hope it's something cheeky.

Yellow is a sunny color – happy, positive, and optimistic.
Yellow is powerful, confident, and energetic. The spiritual meaning of the color yellow will bring you focus, energy, and overall feelings of happiness. Not too shabby. |

With the Yellow Boots does that mean if Jess says I am done? Do you click your heels together and become the One? Those Boots are a big responsibility. Wear them well.

Holding it over the major part of the major award, we get the color shown in the square below, on the right: I am a little sad that I can't long press on the icon to see the alt text. |

What you get is a string of the format: #FFFFFF Which can be put right into HTML.For context, when I first wrote this app somewhere in the mid 90s, the web was still in its infancy. I was also in a brief moment of time when, as an engineer, I could add almost anything I wanted to an application and ship it, and for the most part nobody would object. So I just did that one afternoon because it seemed like a cool feature, and here it is all these years later. mayorofnow wrote: I am a little sad that I can't long press on the icon to see the alt text. |

And here's a little secret feature, that didn't use to be so secret but is now kind of hard to discover: if you display the color values as hex (as anyone working on the web would instinctively do) then lock the current color (Command-L) and then you can select "Copy color as text" from the Color menu (or press Shift-Command-C, in which case there's no need to lock the color). What you get is a string of the format: #FFFFFF Which can be put right into HTML.

I'm just glad we can all have a bit of fun here!
It brings a smile to my face, and that is the major award I'm always looking for here. |

Well done Max. I've no idea, currently, what your award celebrates; however, your posts, both the highs and lows, have shown your value as a contributor. Obrigato.
