The relatively recent change in BB background has made printing much more costly and frustrating. For example, printing "Weekly Stats" simply takes much more time and ink. I realize that this sounds stupid, but simple is best. If the background color was minimized—or simply white—then printing is much easier and doesn't use nearly as much ink. Printing in color now is not good for me because the bright red literally "eats up" color cartridges. Thanks in advance...Pappy

Specifically what background are you talking about? I just did a quick print preview (in Firefox), and nothing really jumps out at me as an ink problem. Also, is it a problem for you for all of the available skins you can choose in your profile?

In any case, the BBs' time is clearly limited, and I can't imagine that providing an optimized print stylesheet would (or should) be anywhere near their radar.

Thanks for your prompt replay. I was basically only talking about the background (is there another word for it?) that surrounds the entire visible page. I apologize for being obtuse here, but it's the best way I can describe it. My "background" is red whereas before it was white (i.e., "blank" and didn't print when one was printing any page). I hope that this helps describe what is happening. I realize that it may not be a high priority, but simply a return to a white background would help IMO. Thank you...Pappy
P.S. I have never changed the "skins" in my profile, but I will certainly take a look at this now. Thanks again...

I realize and fully understand the problem you are trying to solve. When you try to print out pages on BB, it's wasting too much of your colored ink because of the page's tint, right? Well, when you press Ctrl + P and get to the print menu, go to Page Properties (it may be Page Setup) and set your printing to Black & White only. That way, your printer won't print in color!

I agree that there should be some easier way to get the players stats in an easy format. For one, I dont really care to see the players faces. I wish that was one option that I could turn off. (maybe I need to experiment with skins).

my 2 cents
