With that said, maybe the new message/folder should be a dark orange?

And the Help thread open books would look fine in the plain manila color like the form boxes.

wow! that blue really made it easy for me!

as much as i love the forum, all this yellow kills me. having to hunt for tiny yellow folders on a yellowish background was hard! especially since i am overly sensitive to yellow and tend to get headaches when i try to read on it, not to mention the fact that it makes my dyslexia kinda spin out of control...or maybe that is why i got the headaches in the first place.

anyhow....the blue icons made it so much easier on my eyes and on my poor cabeza.

I must say I cheat. The orange/yellow colour scheme is too bright for my liking. I switched to the ubbthreads scheme instead. Much more restful on the eyes.

To change go to My Stuff > My Preferences and change 'Your preferred stylesheet' to 'ubbthreads'.

Thanks Arnie...I always meant to say that you can change the stylesheet color to the ubbthreads, but I forgot!

Yes, thanks Arnie! I did not know you could do that. I just switched to this setting, and it is very easy to read this way.!

As many of you are noticing, we have added a couple new forums in the general category: News and Announcements, Contests, Polls, ReviewsAwards.

This will help our forums in a couple of ways: to be more neat by grouping together the same topics, to find things more easily and to have less sticky posts on the big game forums.

These new forums like News & Announcements will not allow users to start a new topic, but only to reply to the current ones.

I like the changes.

Wow I didn't know you could do that. thanks for the tip Arnie. Now I too have a restful screen!

I like the changes, the yellow on yellow is a bit hard on the eyes. I wait & see how i feel after a hour or so looking. I may do as Arnie said & switch to ubbthreads & see how it goes.
I tried the ubbthreads & it looked to boring & bland, but was easier on the eyes.
