A couple of random questions. I usually have to mouse click a few times to return to an AT page. Am I the only one having to do that or is this an already discussed "feature?"

Does anyone know of a site that has color combinations (like colorblender) but will also show me the corresponding paint formula (like colorcharts.org.) and is Mac friendly?

I need help both in color combinations and then finding the paint.

Hope everyone is having a nice Wednesday....

Lisa2 - The clicking issue has been around for a while, from what I understand. I don't have it on either my Dell running Windows Vista/browsing via Firefox or on my Mac running 1.4/browsing via Safari. Maybe doing a search of the AT archive will yield answers from people who have solved it on their machines?

Oh, and I wanted to thank everyone who suggested good places for me to find lampshades back in Open Thread 565:

I went to Target, Restoration Hardware, A Repeat Performance (thanks, Curtis!) and finally ended up finding the right shades at the right price at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Add to that some finials from eBay, and I'm a happy camper.

I purchased a pigeon light (http://tinyurl.com/2crqp9) a year or so ago from Generate. Bulb just died and I'm having trouble finding a replacement. New bulbs I bought are too small for the socket. Another store said the original bulb is European and sold me an adapter, but the bulbs still dont fit/work. I emailed Generate, but no response. Any suggestions?

I saw a special the other weekend on the 2007 Gift Show in NY, and they showed briefly some LED chandeliers that were under $25 and small (but not miniature). Some were beautiful, with lots of crystals. Does anyone know where these are available? Website?

the new domino is a pretty solid issue - see amanda peet's home and some photographer too.

About the pigeon light -- I bought one a year or so ago, too, but because of the complications of the move still haven't put it up (very long story, only interesting to those who love me) and it's very interesting to learn it's hard/impossible to find a replacement bulb.

lisa2 in Austin - the triple (but sometimes double) clicking returned fairly recently, after being gone for a long time. I don't have it on my Max OSX/Firefox, but I do have it at work on IE (which is not the new version). We've all complained, but it's still there. Perhaps it'll be corrected in the site update. It's really annoying.
