    you could just tone down the red links in the css. maybe it is a little bright on some monitors

    maybe #570f11 would be better

    I agree with dc2, a darker red would be better, since it's not as bright as the red used now, and it would fit in nicely with the rest of the theme.

    Thanks,

    Sarah

      Peace all,
      Thanks Supernaut )
      I am getting conflicting reports about the color. So if anyone else thinks the red should be toned down, now is a good time to voice your opinion. Like dc2 said it should not be difficult God willing. But I need to hear more views on this issue.

        I think the red should be made a bit darker.

              It should be at the top right

                  i dont get it. why is it madness. it has the exact same layout as the default theme but the colors/fonts are changed and the "show unread" and "new replies" links are in the right corner. to anyone who is having problems could i ask you to tell us which browser you are using ? is anyone using internet explorer 6 or below ?

                    It was not there before, I assure you. Today it's there. Now I can say I like the new layout. Thank you and congratulations!

                      I like the new forum colors.
                      I like the new pic too. It reminds me of the movie "The Celestine Prophecy."
                      Nice work!

                            what's wrong with that?

                            this red is too light

                              Peace everyone,

                              I agree that this forum now looks awful and is too harsh on the eyes. The previous colors were much easier on the eyes. I don't feel like visiting this forum much any longer >(

                                Contrast this red with the red you call bright red.

                                  You are right, that red is awful, I am just saying a bit darker, come on, at least have a compromise between the two, please.

                                    This Fonts color is wine and it's not at all difficult for the eyes. and you not see the fonts all the time when you read threads. People are really picky when they say they don't want to come her anymore, come on, only for a color shift? sigh sigh sigh )

                                      i really like it but monitors/screens will display colors differently. i would like to be able to see what it looks like on the screens of anyone who doesn't like it. it looks sleek on mine. anyone who is having difficulty with the functionality of the site might need to upgrade their browser. also hopefully there will be an option for people to change back to the old theme. it disappeared when the theme was changed but im sure aalmakto will be able to bring it back. he is sitting some exams at the moment and im sure he'll get at it when he's not busy. so just sit tight !

                                        Peace all,
                                        My exams are finished I've just been taking some time off to enjoy myself )

                                        Anyway the you can now change back to the old theme if you wish. Just go to Profile -> Look and Layout Preferences ->

                                        You should see Current Theme Forum or Board Default

                                        Click the (Change)
                                        Look for the "Original Blue" theme and click "use this theme"

                                        Layth says this might have been causing the forum to crash, but lets see how it goes.

                                          Peace aalmakto,

                                          Thank you so much. )

                                          The original blue is so much easier on the eyes and I don't have a headache anymore while reading the forum. yay
