      - Thanks. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 12:08
- If 15 or more employees, perhaps. But the issue would likely need to be a disability. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 28, 11:16

- This is what I see when I load it in mobile safari -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 28, 11:23 3
  - That looks just fine to me. The blue is darker and readable. What I see on my ST is many shades lighter, almost gray. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 28, 11:25
  - Oh, yes, and this reveals additional functionality that I can see ... (Sorry, ty97, that exposes your IP address - I was being impulsive and forgot it was visible) - Beryllium Jul 28, 11:23 1

    - Yeah, I can read it in your graphic, but the link/reply fonts are really pale. - ty97 Jul 28, 11:11 2
      - there has to be something in your settings to fix that. -- nm - groiny Jul 28, 11:11 1
        
        Nothing that I can see. I have tried and looked everywhere but nothing. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 11:13
- looks like you have a different font -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 11:07 1

        You can run away if you want to stop fighting. To take a spot you need to build up the gym and when it maxes out a new spot will open. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 11:20 2
        
        right, and you can see the level in the upper left hand corner when you enter the gym. Battling your own team adds points to the gym. Battling another - decline Jul 28, 11:22 1
        
        Right. Your post below explains it a bit better especially with fighting in another team's gym. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 11:24
        
        you don't stop. If the gym is your team, you must beat everone in the gym (maybe more than once) to open a spot. If it's an opposing team - decline Jul 28, 11:17 1

        zero. I have still not been able to hold a gym longer than a couple of hours -- nm - decline Jul 28, 11:08 2
        
        you don't get coins just for being there and having a spot? -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 11:10 1
        
        Not all battles result in getting a spot in a gym (most don't). I'm not sure how long you need to be in the gym to get coins - decline Jul 28, 11:19

        I think ty evolved 60-something last time he used a lucky -- nm - decline Jul 28, 11:27
