MarketForce - why are some shops in the list 'lightlighted' in blue

June 26, 2025 06:33PM
I can't figure this one out: when you look at all the shops in your area and scroll through, some have a white background, and others are blue. They are all for "want a burger" and it doesn't seem to relate to location, lunch/v/dinner, or pay, so what's the reason?

I am guessing it's related to presentation. Similar to how a spreadsheet can alternate the color of rows and hide them. I'm guessing the shops are all displayed. The shops you are ineligible for are then hidden and not made visible to you.

Feeding the MSF trolls bread or other human food is detrimental to their health and the environment. It can lead to malnutrition, disease, and behavioral problems in trolls, as well as water pollution and the spread of pests. Trolls are capable of finding their own food sources and don't require human assistance.

Paniconmon,

Unfortunately that's not true. I regularly see shops where you have to be in your 20s or 30s. Im 65. I wish they would prevent me from seeing those shops

If everything is visible, I am guessing the two colors alternate among the displayed shops. If there's some overlap, I'm guessing it's due to shops being taken or not displayed for a reason. I may be wrong.

If you click on a shop and then go back to the list of shops, the color or shading issue will sort itself out. The color will then alternate with every shop listed.

Aha! So it’s just bad website design - figures.

I don't necessarily think it falls under website design. Anyways, non sequitur, hopefully you can make some positive contributions to the community going forward.
