Re: Color selection when subscribing

There wasn't a support request form when I first noticed this, and the selection-box/text overlap is so minor it hadn't occurred to me to re-submit it. (Later this week, I think; Azkatraz is still going on right now.)

Erm, does opening a support request allow attachments? Will I be able to attach a screenshot, or will I need to find a place to host it? (Don't need to answer that; I'll certainly find out when I open the request.)

The problem with the colors isn't finding them; I can use LJ or IJ to figure out the html numbers for the colors I use. The problem is having them at hand every time I subscribe to someone's journal; I don't want to memorize (or have a card next to all of the three computers I use) the six or seven color-combos I most use.

Right now, my layout doesn't even use colors for subscribers; they're only relevant when I go to the "edit-your-circle" page. (Which I don't, much.) And eventually, I'll have to edit everyone's colors, bleh. (I'd consider submitting a suggestion to make that part easier & not require typing/copy-pasting ppls names into the list at the bottom, except I know the coders have important things to figure out--like reading lists--and that change is likely to be a coding nuisance that only helps a tiny number of DW users.)

And in the category of Insane Nifty Features I'd Eventually Like--would love to link colors to access/(reading) lists so that when I give a person access to a filter, it defaults to a certain color combo. But that strikes me as being non-trivial to implement.
