Blinded by the colors

Sorry, Drew, way too much Orange on everything right now. It looks like a tangerine spit up

Hopeing you can go back to the more neutral color scheme and soon.

yes, agreed. A bit too hot... I think better now, after some more tweaking?

Yeah a little better, I'd love to see a completely different color for threads that have been read and threads that have new posts. Kinda like a brick red color maybe to contrast? Just like the titles on the threads in this area and articles?

I think it accomplishes that now by bolding thread titles with new posts you haven't read yet.

It helps a bit, but I'm old, Drew :P Right now the sun is coming in on the monitor, normally I see the site in the dark so maybe it will be easier for me then

I guess I missed the "tangerine spit up" (yay). However, visited link colours are an option in your browser, DD.

or you can google each browser: "change visited link color in *browser name* "

I might switch it again. I am trying to find the right mix of colors. The original dark blue link color was too indistinguishable from the dark grey/gray default text color.

It will be hard to find something that works for everyone all in all I find darker colors, more muted, then the neon colors to be easier to see in both daylight and darkness. But I do agree the other was a bit too close to default. Good luck with the tinkering.

I have to agree with this being a bit much. Is tangerine seen as a bi color? Although it certainly wakes you up when the page loads. No fear of falling asleep. Just keep the sunglasses close bi.
