I haven't been able to read this site since the software was upgraded. The low contrast light writing or grey background options offered make it so I have too much trouble differentiating the thread titles from the other text. Just thought I'd mention that since I haven't posted here in a while.
You can select different color schemes at the bottom of the page.
I use the gunmetal skin, it seems to make everything easily distinguishable.
i use midnight.. it's easier for me to read white letters on the black background
Gunmetal FTMFW!
I like the gunmetal too!
Holy hell look who it is!!!! Welcome back LOL well not really but glad you stuck it out for a post hahaha!
Nicks Balls LOL
Gunmetal here too
Midnight here as well. I don't have to were my sunglasses with it like I would with nicks balls/spleen. lol
Heh - I just came back to see if anybody responded to this. I administer a forum so I know all about the different skins available. In fact, on my site I spent considerable time taking input from people to get the text size and contrast right as this can effect how new people adapt to one's site. Not sure if it's been changed since I last posted, but the black text w/white background I see now seems OK to read. :shrug:
I hand-made all the skins for this board and haven't touched them in several years.
Soooooo...don't know what to tell you.
Upgrade your browser? Browser settings? Different browser?
I deal with HTML, CSS and browser interaction every day of my life. Things are getting better, definitely, and more cross-platform. But sometimes you get annoyances that maybe one browser has over all others (coughcoughIEcoughcough) and you have to make special code to dance around it. Not really so much for this board, though. It's fairly compliant for all browsers.
Dunno really - I guess I just don't particularly like this forum software and it's default style - personal preference. It's kind of pastel-like and the thread icons are oversized and goofy looking with default skin. I had no luck at all with readability using any of the alternate skins.
I seem to recall the text being lighter with a greyer background - thus my issue with contrast. Perhaps that was using one of the alternate styles cause it's "OK" using the default style. I guess I'm just more of a critic after all the I went through with people g and moaning about readability on my website. Oh, and I was used to what we had previously.
I have the board set on "gunmetal" and it has the gray background w/ light text. :D
That's what I use too. And I think it's very easy on the eyes.
Just switched to midnight. Nick's balls were getting old. lol
meh I like the original. I hate the way the smilieys look with the white pixels splotched around them on the dark schemes. Bothers me to no end.
And that's what SHE said....lmfao
Hahaha! For some reason I thought the same thing! lol!!
Yeah, I left myself open on purpose. I was just hoping
somebody would bite. lol
