Default New Forum Look

I guess I will be the first to comment on the new look for the forum.

I don't really care for it. Grey text on grey background is not easy to read. No highlighting for links in posts. Now as I type this the text is almost white on a white background. Sorry H9, I know some designer thinks it must look nice and modern. I would rather have readable. jmho

I agree, bring back the old design and get rid of the spammers.

No, don't like the new look, very bleak, even reply box is nearly unreadable, I thought H9 was a green company, black is a dumping area, lets get back to a more environment rich BB

We felt it was best to change the look of the forums to flow better with our new design. We are still tweaking things here and there but strongly feel this gives us more of a professional look.

I will work on the text / bg colors.

I think that the new design looks more professional. I do agree with the post above about the spammers. That is one thing that makes it look not so professional.

A bit easier to read. These need some work: and the issue raised by zanass about unreadable text and if body, a:link, a:hover and .page were not all color: #3D3D3D then we could find the links on a page.

Other than that very professional, the colors look like an obituary / funeral home page.
