Naughty question

Ahem... okay this is a very naughty question (I hope my boss will never know I have asked this) but since I am addicted to this forum and surf on it whenever I have got some spare time at work, I was wondering.... is there a way to edit the lay-out of this forum for users, let's say in grey/blue colours or anything so that it doesn't stand out on your computer screen as much as it does now?

Because anyone who looks on my screen now just knows that it can't be related to work (pink/green etc., work related screens in here are usually dull colours).

In hotmail there is this feature to edit the colours whenever you want, is there something like this for this forum, just so I can come here more often?

PS: Or has anyone got tips to disguise that you're surfing to this forum?

Well, not to give away that I spend hours on here while I am at work...however, I have found that if I use the tab feature on my internet and have this site opened and another work related site opened that I can easily click on the work related tab should someone come near and no one has a clue that I am on here. At least I don't think they do, now if they are a member also then guess from my postings that they know I am on here.

Or... you can do what I do and what I've gotten all my co-worker friends to do... position your computer so no one can see it directly. You can switch it to the other side and angle it so anyone coming in from the doorway can't see it immediately, giving you time to switch tabs lol. i know - how terrible. I always worry the IT guy can do a history of how much time I spend doing non-work related things, but sometimes my workload just lulls.

I've tried to do that with my laptop but there's people everywhere here ! lol I'm sitting in the same direction as the person next to me, and when people come in from the door they directly look at my screen, so angleing it is no option for me.

Lucky you! I wish I could "surfe in peace", now I always have to be weary. This forum is too addictive...

hmmmm I dont know of anyway to customize the color for the site. This is just too funny, that you asked this question. Maybe Liss will have some pointers on this. I would suggesst maybe using tabs or something of that sort.
