As of last night, I'm seeing most of the text (thread titles, etc) in the forum in a bright blue color, rather than the more familiar (and more welcome) white. Was this a deliberate change? Any shot of going back?

Please go back. Please.

Aarrgh hurts my eyes, hurts my eyes!!! I'll trade the nice color back instead of the yellow online thing...

Ithink the blue is the color of links. For in-thread links it's nice, but for the topic list it is a little rough (though I like it better than the gray links).

The default vB style looks just fine. ;)

Font color = #8098B0

A little less harsh on the eyes against both the grey and green (IMHO)

Man, one has to love the The Sideline Green layout...

Brings back memories of days I was a real rookie, not a Defensive Coordinator.;)

I changed it, because some were saying that the offwhite looked too white, and they couldn't distinguish links from text.

What color would you prefer to see? I tried to make it not too dark.

I like this better than the offwhite, but the best alternative,IMO, would be underlined hyperlinks. Is that possible, or no?

After reading this thread, I realized how you guys (especially Quik) have such high post counts.

It's like watching Seinfeld, only not as funny.

Can someone look at this and confirm the dark blue test is gone?

Yes, but again it is hardto distinguish text from links. It needs to be a tad darker.

The color is currently identical to the old sideline board.

I am having no problem differentiating between text and links.

I think that the board becomes difficult to read if you have a darker color against such a dark background.

Thanks for the effort, gang... I'm much happier with the current (restored?) settings. Links are pretty clear to me, too.

Agreed, this is definitely fine with me.

I appreciate the effort.
