unfortunately I agree.  there are players that have posted white text and other cream colors for their font...  looking back on these posts (which I just did go look at my own and they are not pretty) is discouraging.  I am not about to go back and edit some 300 odd posts... 

If this is the direction taken, for everyone's sake, there needs to be a huge DEV button (like microsoft word) which does a "Clear Formatting" on all past posts...

Are you able to edit your previous posts if needed to change the colors? 

Luna

Yes, I'm able to edit my posts, but there are just too many to manual edit them. And like I said, many old posts are unreadable. If background changes to almost inverse colors, almost every text that didn't used default colors is not readable or it just look very strange. Sunstorms rainbow posts are very weird now... 

Perhaps you should remove custom colors from all past posts.


Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do that. It would have to be done manually. I'm sorry. I know this is inconvenient to people who used a lot of custom colors in the past.

Understood Luna.

How might that look with the background as chocolate?  hummm
the main page would have to be changed for this...

In that case, I repeat my suggestion to reverse the chocolate and cream which I made earlier down below in the suggestions section.

The goal of the new forum theme is it bring it in line graphically with not only the rest of the website, but the game as well. 

We can certainly make tweaks as needed (and are still doing so) but going back to black wouldn't really be in line with the new look. The black was a carryover from the very first website and game UI which is not in use anymore. 

Hope that helps.
