I really like this forum design

I haven’t been here in a long time. I usually frequent Spacebattles instead.

Is this board run with XenForo software as well?

Scroll down :wink:

I find it terrible. Gray text on black background, pretty much unreadable.

Not if your eyes work.

It was worse before. It’s a light enough grey now that it’s readable.

I have troubles with it when leaning back away from my screen, and especially when trying to type up a response.

I wonder if this service provides user-selectable themes? Could possibly be a variant with harsher text/panel contrast.
Edit: Okay, this white one hurts. :c
Meh, can’t please everyone.

YOU GUYS ARE SO PICKY

And we love you for putting up with it.

Looks like you’ve changed the color? Thanks, definitely more readable now. (Though a light black-on-white theme would still be a nice option, it’s just more easy for the eye.)

Hubi is pulling his hair out right now.

He still has hair?
Does he have a bed, too? 'Cos I’ve been sleeping in the bathroom behind the toilet.

But that’s the opposite of easy on the eyes. White backgrounds are retina-searing eyeball rape.

You actually may have gotten that backward.

If the theme as a whole is light, the iris will shut to compensate, and the focused darkness will be comfortably recognized. So long as your monitor is not bright enough to induce snow-blindness, it is no worse than attending a sportsball game.

But if the theme as a whole is dark, the iris will remain quite dilated, and when we focus our reading on bright letters, they may sear the retinas.

Well, also kind of depends on the environment you’re in. Dark backgrounds with light text are much easier on the eyes when you’re all alone in a poorly-lit room. Which, I mean, come on. Most of us are.
Which is also why a lot of programers who stay up late set their IDEs to dark themes.
