Not to be picky or nothing but when your reading posts for hours a day the eye balls start hurting. How bout making the background like black with yellow text something softer on my retinas.
Pink background with green text, sounds about right?-) Smooth pastel colors all over, people with diabetes would choke to death by seeing the site. No, seriously, the layout is about to change within next n weeks (n is between 5 and 52 .
Actually, its just the surround background thats a problem. A slightly off-white - heading towards grey, with black writing tends to be good. Blue and yellow are not good colours to be looking at. You can confuse the brain with them. I reckon, keep the forum in similar style to the way it is, except of course, for gif's as i mentioned in thread at top of page! ;-) Good Job Guys.
