What is Colorzilla?

Glad you asked!

Don't know about you, but I am working on some graphics project or checking a layout, I frenquently find that I am bouncing from my browser to the color picker in my program editor to check on some color value so I can change a CSS parameter on my MainCSS in the vBulletin Style Manager. This, of course, in spite of the fact that I have a color picker posted on most of my sites as a resource.

A little slow maybe, but I have just discovered a firefox extension called, Colorzilla. For my purposes, Colorzilla is a FireFox extension that save me quite a lot of wasted keystrokes and lookups to try to find a color picker. When installed, Colorzilla resides in the bottom left hand corner of the firefox browser, always ready to do your bidding to find out what the hex codes are for anything you see on the browser screen. It using the "standard" (if such a thing exists) color picker eyedropper icon that you see in most of the graphics tools you might be using.

Here is what the site has to say about their tool:

The installation couldn't be any simpler or faster or more user friendly for that matter. Click the install button you will find at this URL Link(get it here), run the extension installer, restart FireFox and you are good to go. Check it out, you will be really glad you did.

As Always, HTH, if this little tip helped you fix some problem or enhanced your site TELL ME ABOUT IT! Even better tell all your friends and vBulletin acquaintances where you found this great information.

ENJOY!

Stop nuisance spammers and their automated spambots before they can pollute your site. vBPlusMe SPAMBUSTER is a professional set of Spam Prevention scripts that have been rigorously field tested and proven to effectively stop 99.9% of all automated spam registrations. The vBPlusMe scripts operate independently. They do not interact or interfere with any of the functionality of the standard vBulletin spam prevention engine or any of its componentents but rather use a complex set of custom filters, lookup tables and other custom scripts to detect Bad Guys, both automated and manual submissions by would-be spammers.

If a new bad guy spammer is detected, the script dynamically adds them to the known spammer list and future attempts to register are denied access.

Don't waste another minute moderating members, or trying to figure out if they are spammers or not, let them all in when the sign up, the vBPlusMe Scripts will do the rest!

Note: Although no method to stop spam is 100% effective, the facts speak for themselves, numerous field tests of the vBPlusMe scripts have consistently returned 99.9% effectiveness results in finding, trapping and dispatching automated spambots (Details about every attack are logged so effectiveness can easily be verified).

Because fighting Spammers is an "ongoing" battle, the vBPlusMe script are continuously being updated and modified to detect and prevent new threats discovered.
