I am playing around with colors at the moment. If you select the UUBBThreads-sz from the drop down menu at the bottom of the page to be your color scheme you will see it is moving toward the colors we used to have. But you can choose the color scheme that best suits you now so play around with it.
I have also fixed the upload avatar feature so if you had tried to do that but it didn't work give it another try.
Thanks for this wonderful upgrade, it will be awesome! As for colors... I am pretty sure that usability studies have proven that the vast majority of viewers do not like light text on a dark background for something that they are going to be reading alot... that in the long-term, their eyes tire of such... that black text on white background is the most preferred color scheme. (If it's a short page and something you won't view a lot, not that big of a problem.) Now, whatever you had in the past did work for me. But, I, for one, do not care for this light text on dark background.
Thanks again! Contemporary features that we get used to with other software... helps!
