The theme currently used with blue and an off-color blue used at the same time for thread content makes reading the forum difficult. There is very little contrast to the forum, and its content.

A suggestion would be to install an alternate, more contrasting color theme so it's easier to read.

If your display device is properly calibrated, there is plenty of contrast between the sections. I read the forum on several different displays and devices which are all calibrated yet my tired old eyes seem have no problems. Of course, YMMV.

My display is fine and I find if hard to read at times. More to do with color-blindness than calibration. For me, the light blue, lighter blue and darker blue tends to blur together. When I look at your post Scott, your reply is clear, your signature is fine, but the hyperlinks beneath your name are difficult.

I for one would love to have the option to alter the forum colors to better suit my needs.

My monitor colors are ok. The issue I have is there are too many colors being used that are similar and its hard to distinguish them depending what screen I am located on, in the forum.

The default font size is also too small. I realize I only have a few posts, but the forum DOES say suggestions :) :) An alternate theme, or ability to change the colors would be a nice feature for those that have a hard time with it.
