So how do i make my text white then Kage?

There appears to be no colour edit option, and coding from the old board doesn't work...

You see, THIS is why i'm a Luddite...technical change to the detriment of Humanity (or me in this case), is not progress...

And i'm still getting shunted out to the front page after posting.

This may be one of the few times that I've had dichromatic vision work in my favour. The grey on grey (as you all seem to call it) has been incredibly easy on my poor, overwraught eyes. However, in order to register for this brave new forum, I had to highlight areas such as players name in order to see what in the name if the undying Emperor of mankind I typed into said space.

A small thing to be sure.

What I take from this is the following: If I find this "grey on grey" so easy to read and everyone else does not, does that mean they see this board with the same difficulty I had when I registered?

 I've entered a bizarro world forum...  [ominously musical]dum dum DUM!

True, it IS easy on the eyes.

I just wish that it had a bit more contrast. I'll live with it, though. Complaining for too long can be lame.

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone tell me, if and how I can send Private Messages? Didn´t find it.

Thx  

I haven't been able to figure that out, eithier. Alternately is there any diffrence if you click the 'Reply' button attached to a specific reply in a thread vs. the 'Big Blue Button' at tthe bottom of the page?

Nope, it is something else you can't do on the forum...

Ludite, To change your text to white, fallow these steps.

Type what ever message it is you wish to post.

Once done, press Ctrl+Tab (both keys at the same time).  This will switch to html view.  You'll see a lot of odd formatting tags and what not.  Ignore most everything. 

Right before the first instance of "<p>" press enter to make a new line and on that line type the fallowing:  <span style="color : #ffffff;">

Now, go to the very end of your text and make a new line. There type in the fallowing: </span>

An alternate method for times when you post just a paragraph or two would be to find each "<p>" which should be at the beginning of each paragraph, make a space between the "p" and the ">" and in that space, type in the fallowing:  style="color : #ffffff;" to make each "<p>" look like this:  <p style="color : #ffffff;">.

Hope that helps.

Now if I can just get used to not double spacing...

Cheers for the advice Graver.

However, it doesn't appear to work for me.

Crtl+Tab doesn't convert to html view for me it would see...hmmm....

It is bad but not that bad. It just strain my eyes and I sometimes highligh some of the text to keep track of where I am in the text. I can read it without though. But it is much easier to read when Graver maeks the text white although the contrast gets a bit sharp then.

The black isn't helping me any, admidtedly though, I have piss-poor eyesight. The lack though is a bit more grating than the grey, it could be though the background keeps changing I find the lighter of the two backgrounds to be easier to read over than the darker one, on which I cannot tell bolded from non-bolded text.

I appear to have lost the ability to edit my own posts now too...

Now, that's just weird. Dose anything at all happen when you push both keys at once?  Do you do such when the courser is in the input window making it "active" or when the courser is not in the input window?

I don't know if this has a bearing on the ctrl+tab issue or not, but what web browser are you using and what operating system (usually some form of windows or Mac OS)?

Edit #4: Odd, I can edit my posts... I do know there's something like a 5 minute rule on post editing... but as long as you hit that itty bitty edit before then, you should be able to... or not. The mystery continues...
