Default Is it just me, or are these colors driving you nuts?

Readability... key issue.
Do these tones of color bug you?
Would you rather have the grey and white back?

At first glance, I like the colors. Easy on the eyes, and very readable. I say keep the new style =).

I've got to say I'm not a big fan of this new color scheme. Looks good on your home page, but not necessarily on the forum. Just my .02.

Sorry Jennie, this format reminds me of a blown out Willamette river. At least on my screen. liked the old stuff better. Same for the Chat format, drove me crazy last week. My 2.5 year old liked it though. He kept banging on the keys and knocking me off the board. Hummmmm....maybe it made him angry, thats why he was banging. :smile:

Do what you want, I'll still be here. Maybe if I wear sunglasses it will help.

The tan is much better than the grey to differentiate messages in a thread. I like the new colors!

i thought my daughter was changing up her computer colors. She does change about every couple of days. It is different which is always nice but I like the old stuff more. Plus the color behind the ifish is pea green. Tough combo

I like it all except the green text, it is very hard on the eyes to read........to light.

I'm with Artwo. With my old eyes, I need all the contrast I can get. which is black type on white background. I also agree that the Piscatorial Pursuits site is hard as heck to read.

The text is still black. Where is the green text? The links?
And this one:
Plus the color behind the ifish is pea green

Where would that be?

OK, I defaulted the links back to the default blue... better?
And.... I changed the category strips...
I'm with anyone out there on readability issues.
Someone else want to do this, my eyes hurt!!!

I like the clear easy readable board here.
That other one in washington is way way way too dark for me. I think very light colors makes for faster reading.

Reminds me of a blown out nestucca. Shivers up and down my spine. Already miss the old colors. But I might get used to it.

These colors are fine with me, but like a large % of men :shocked: , I'm partially color blind.

The light green or whatever you call that color is easy on my eyes, and as long as the text is black so I can read it, it's all good.

"Cool" colors are better for my eyes as I get older. Now, if I could just get somebody to tell me what color I'm REALLY dying my prawns, I'll be just fine.
