Looks good now. The only thing left: humor me, try putting the user info on the left, if it messes up mobile view, switch back.

Private messages still have boxes of lime green text on white background.

At least make sure that neon green isn't ever on a white background. The Quick links menu is almost unreadable.


Not me. It looked like every Web 2.0 website that tries hard to look professional, but really just looked dull and lacked personality.

Gentlegamer,
Could you forward me an example? I never read private messages.
Thanks

If you decide to keep the current colors could you possibly make the forums that are unread (usually indicated with a light red highlight) and posts that are unread, a darker color that stands out more. I'm having a hard time telling which forums are read and which ones aren't (as well as posts).

Sure thing. Is it just the color of the text in the messages that is different?
I'll work on this next week.

I'm referring to this:

See the little red circle thing? I use those to tell if a post is newer or not. Right now it is almost the same color as the older posts.

On the main page it looks like this:

Once again the little circle things on the left. There were no new posts when I took this screenshot but I think you get the point.

Oh I see, the colored edges don't stand out against the black background.
Maybe our resident artist Mark Jewell might be able to tweak those?
Perhaps if the whole circle was reddish they would be easier to tell apart.
