Hello everyone,
I'm glad that we have a forum, but I don't think I've seen many others that break as many design rules as this one - no offense.
I don't know how customizable this particular forum service is, but please create a single theme for the site. The middle part is generally dark, so keep the sides a similar shade as well - having these white sides on a widescreen is plain ugly, and worse, could create burn-in on older monitors.
Also, it seems every post has a different background colour and that people can write in many different colour and fonts, making it really difficult to follow the conversation sometimes. For example, jasontree and Xens replies in the introduction post are both eye-strains to read (nothing personal ). I can't see a reason why there's need to be more than perhaps white, black and red colours of a single font - any emphasis you need can be made this way.
Please use a simple light-on-dark or dark-on-light theme, right now we have some dark-on-dark and light-on-light... I've attached how it looked when I posted a response that I wanted to re-read for proofing, and that ain't right.
In conclusion, it's great that we have a forum and that people have taken time and money to do all this, but there's improvements we can make to create a much more enjoyable website.
Hugs and kisses,
Anconia
