I dunno about some of you folks, but i find the colour scheme for this forum pretty hard on the eyes to read.
Is there a diff colour I could use? A nice QuickSilver for uh...Bondi Blue theme comes to mind. :D
Or are the admins thinking of providing a variety of schemes in the near future?
Geez....I'm 26, and my eyes are already going! hehe

Yes, hard to read. And the worst part for me is all the lines and buttons in a thread. It really confusing as to whether the orange buttons (profile,PM,Search,Buddy,Edit,Quote) and the date/time are for the post above or below. Now I know its for the post above but it should be close to the name...the buttons for the previous post are closer to the name of the next post. Hopefully someone can understand what I mean. I have given it weeks thinking I would get used to it but I really havent and in fact it really keeps me from posting or even reading posts because it is not easy or pleasant to look at.

Just to let you guys know, I think that however much you b!t*h and moan about the colors, it won't be changed. So deal with it.
Count me in for liking the colors. :)

Easy dude....this is the "Feedback and Suggestion" Forum man. Nobody is biatching and moaning. If you don't want feedback and suggestions then don't come read in this area. Alot of forums have different choices as far as what "Theme" you wanna use. Nothing wrong with offering people choices to customize and it's not that hard to add.
Aside from the color though I think the placement of the orange buttons and all the white lines are in a bad spot. If you look back at the old forum the "Reply" buttons and stuff are in the posted area so it is clear and easy to see what post it goes with. That would be my biggest suggestion, more so then color. Heck I like orange and grey stuff...I use the same color iPodLounge wallpaper on my iMac.

No I understand that OldSkool, but all you have to do is get used to it. Once you get used to the colors and setup, everything is just fine. The thing is there are alot of people that like the way it looks and there are people that don't. And then there are the others that just don't care. I think it's just easier to get used to it then to change everything up, cause when you change things you always make someone unhappy.

There is no need to make big changes...it is pretty easy to add a color/theme choice in the profile, alot of forums have that option and for those who like it now nothing would change. Actually I can live with the color though anyway. My real problem is with the orange reply buttons and their location. The white lines and the buttons just make it hard to quickly and easily tell which post it goes with. I belong to alot of Forums on the net as I am sure many here do and most if not all of them have the Reply/Quote button in the top right of the post and the lines are such that you can easily tell it is for that post. It's just my opinion but I like to make it known :D

Also, if you're using Safari, just make the font size bigger by clicking the big A... This should also be possible in other browsers

That's a horrible attitude to have. Why have a Feedback & Suggestions forum if users won't be taken seriously? I've been informed that my own personal feedback won't be taken seriously...but...your post was rude considering I don't think oldskool is under that cloud. ;)
Oh, and I like the colors too but I understand how some would want something different. :)

Well I apologise if my comment was rude to anyone. I don't want to be a troll. and anyone that has been here long enough knows that. It's just that Dennis put alot of hard work into this site and if I were him I would not change a thing about it just to please a few. But that's just my 2 cents.
