Orange hater.  :)

We are going to lighten some tones here some, especially in the message bodies which are a bit too strong of a blue and they interfere with readability.  Slightly paler colors seem to be less stressful on the eye.  It's a work in progress.


Hey don't get me wrong... blue is cool. And orange is warm and relaxing.

Blue and light grey seems to go together well. Though in this case, I would probably change the orange to maybe a light blue/grey color.. And orange goes well with other warm colors.

Oh and one thing that may help you with your color choices...

That is like an online paint program for websites and forums. It is just like going to the store and picking out colors.

Blue is Jack's color and Ennis is brown or brown-orange. They are very complementary.

Actually I think the site looks beautiful. There are many,  many buttons and icons though. It is a bit overwhelming at first, but I think I am getting the hang of it now!

I think the whole thing looks great.

I'd like to request a larger font for the defaults--both regular and quoted text. The current size is tougher on "older eyes!'

Thanks!
