as I have said before.. the black-background is irritating and hard to read.. atleast to me it is.. So can we maybe vote on a different one? here are some from a free template site HEREthat I also found on SMF site HERE (so I supposed they are accessible?) that could be nice...(the smf site keeps timing out, so maybe that free template site is the better bet) check the link to click on a bigger picture of what the theme looks like..  Black Ted http://themebot.com/free-website-templates/smf-themes/359-black-tedizler light (sorry about the size, it's all the website had)  http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=746apollo  http://themebot.com/free-website-templates/smf-themes/345-apolloyou get the idea.. something with a light background would 'read' so much easier.. you can also note the 'emphasis' given on some post easier... I think it's the dark background and white lettering that I find hard to read.. a lite background with dark lettering is preferable.. as long as the lettering isn't like teal or orange or some other colorful color LOL (HA actually that orange is easier to read on this background than the white.. LOL go figure!) |

When I switched to this theme, my goal was to make this place look different from you know where...We'll try a different one each day and at the end of next week y'all can vote on the one you want. Isn't democracy great??? |

1st Theme installed. Appropriately named "Black". I'll install a new one each day between now and next Thursday and let y'all vote on Friday.

I know why you picked that color.. and yes, that's a great idea (trying a different one then voting). so far, this one shocked the hell out of me to see it..HA! I thought my color pixels died or something.. it's better than the black, but I'll test it out and let you know  thanks Howie! |

I would like to see a bookmark/favorite avatar other than a blank paper. I believe it would be a better thing for encouraging return visits. When replying about videos as boh mentioned once already, please eliminate the reposting in effect of the same thing in the reply. It looks messy and while it might not matter to some, it's the same idea as handing in a perfect paper with no errors as opposed to one that uses a goofy font and has smudges all over it.  |

I might have to go all Ghadaffi on y'all if you pick this one, got it? I would like to see a bookmark/favorite avatar other than a blank paper.

you can do that too. We're going to try this one since it's appropriate with a certain holiday coming up. Let's suspend the test until after St. Paddy's day, ok? This one is actually readable. And it's cute like MyBig too... [attachment deleted by admin] |

Thank you. However, I've received a cease and desist notification from Peter King and the IRA. Seems like I have a Muslim friend and post anti-Catholic and anti-Irish (specifically...anti-Peter King and anti-IRA) propoganda on this web page. Therefore, the board theme will be changed. We'll be discussing this in FooFa's Conspiracy Theories section, TYVM. |

it's very pretty,but the dark color makes it hard to read the section names and the top row of links(home,help,search etc etc).. I do like how the 'quote' when you reply is darker.. but give it a day or so to see if it grows..  |
