Is it just me or does white writing on black really play havoc with your eyes..
I find that as soon as i look away the image of the words is burnt onto my retina!
Dunno if this has been mentioned/ suggested before but what about a different colour scheme?

just a suggestion..

Don't try to change the forums. Just accept them for what they are. The last guy who tried to change the forums went insane, imploded, was banned, and exiled to Siberia.

I'd make some no0b joke here...but it seems unnecessary.

You'll adjust. I much prefer dark schemes on forums b/c of this board.

it's pretty readable.
in fact i have a problem going to forums were they typically have white/light blue
with black fonts.

I've always been a fan of white text on a dark background. Much easier on the eyes than the other way around.

Hey jakeyboy, would you rather have little letters burned into your retinas, or a giant white rectangle?

I agree - It is easier on the eyes, as it's not as bright.

Way back when I used to spend a lot of time on AutoCAD during HS I had that program setup with a black background and white for the default line color.

Really made everything easier too see and easier on the eyes I think.
