Yes better for me anyway. But I can override things easily in my browser, so whatever works for Albertabuck is fine with me, honestly. I also have trouble editing quote blocks. Specifically I have trouble getting my cursor out of the quote block. I find it's easier to skip the quick reply, hit the real reply button, and then in the fancier editor I click on the "BBCode" tab to see the raw text. Easier to edit it there.

K, compromise time lol can we darken up the light grey a bit? that will solve my issues I think
Maybe its the color setting on monitor, but its almost close to white on white, I can live with it, but I do have to really look at it to read it clearly, where as with the dark its really easy

:) whatever works for you is fine for me. I can change it in my browser with my add-on anyway. I change things for a lot of sites I frequent to make them more readable. There's a crazy trend of grey text on a white background these days that drives me crazy. I agree low contrast is less readable.

I like the less bolded text I find it a bit easier to read, but now that I see it on a few post that are in the light grey I get your point AB. I will screw with it this evening and darken the light grey.

I personally turn down my brightness a lot on my screen ( have never messed with color settings, afraid to screw it up ) and maybe that is why it looks ok on my screen. No wonder your struggling if it is coming out as almost white on white, plus the fact it would be so hard on the eyes and if its darker in the room just that much worse again on the eyes. Looking at the old forum just now to compare and the darker grey boarder surrounding the thread replies on this forum is still a bit lighter then the actual reply windows on the old forum. The thread windows on here are lighter yet of course. The default text is larger on this site though and the window wider and the text is more bold but I've found it to be good although the text could be slimmed just a bit and still be totally fine I think. I really like the fact that the reply windows alternate between grey and black as it gives a much better visual guide to scroll with and not go right over replies mistakenly.

I also have had issues getting the cursor out of the quote block. Now I always hit enter a few times before I try to edit the quote, that way I always have some text to go back to even if I haven't typed anything yet. Or just type reply and then edit quote. This has been this way for a long time and is the same in another proboards forum I have used, so not specific to here.

Ok, I got the alternating post colors changed finally. Let me know what you think. Now to find out how to record screen movements, I don't get paid enough for this lol. Anything else that needs addressed?
