    Ive been planning on changing the colors a bit, What will be happening in the future is that a "skin" will be applied to the forum that will make it much more professional looking and eye appealing. Im just waiting on my super geek/ nerd to help me out on it.
    Hmm nice banner you have there HT1.. Any problems with getting it? and can you post in the members arena ok now? I created that area in response to what member wanted to have on the forum, hopefully I gave you the space you wanted??

    I have seen forums that allow each member to select their own theme.
    Is that an option?

    Not that I am aware of... I toned down the whites a bit for now..

    I am not so worried about the color, but rather more concerned about it all working right, and it seems to be working pretty well.
    A perfect-looking forum that does not work well is not of much use (to me anyway).

    There is a joke in the design community about an architect designing a nuclear plant (my apologies to architects; they do a great job at what they do).
    Engineer: Should we design the plant to meet all the latest specifications?
    Architect: No need, we only need to design it so that it looks like it doesn't leak radiation.

    The problem I am having is that I can't see those light colors very well. And all of that light gray writing is barely visible to us old guys. (And there are a lot of us old guys on here.)

    Don’t feel to badly Rasper,
    I’m totally blind in 1 eye and can barely see out the other half the time.
    Not joking either.

    We aren’t get any younger that’s for sure.

    Try increasing your screen font size.

    I have the same problem on a lot of other sites. Bloomberg Financial for instance. All of the price quotes are in light gray. I can't read them. If I set my Firefox to override the web page's colors and make all of the print black, it eliminates a lot of the page formatting.
    You have to figure most of those web pages are designed by twenty-two year olds who can read a newspaper from ten yards away.
