Its horrible! Did you not attend the basic class of coloring? Hmm.. maybe you did, but you forgot to take the test. It could be worse, but it sure aint good looking at the moment. It was good enough, but you had to change it. No offense, but forums should be light background and dark text, not the other way around.
Please do something about it, this gives me a headache.
This is a temporary skin, which is atleast a little bit closer to the colorpatterns used by the actual www.bat.org site. In the long run, we'll use a custom skin for it.
There's no rule that says that forums have to be light background and dark text, just like webpages can be dark backgrounds and light text. The important part is to have a contrast so that the text is easily readable.
Well, this is gonna work, once we get a custom skin. For now this one will do, and as Gore said, it's at least a bit closer to the color scheme main site uses.
I like it too. I think part of the problem is that it was initially very jarring to jump to this rfom the other quickly. It took a little bit to get comfy but now it has grown on me.
The new look is great, but the only thing I dont like so far is the thing on the left side. Alll that info and avatar and stuff are nice but they make all the replies look very big, even if the poster has written just one line.. looks silly.
