scroll wheel click the link. thank me later.
well that's beside the point as it's not what I'm used to doing on forums fuck darnit >:U
It's the preferred behavior for me though. IMO a website shouldn't control where links are opened, the user should.
And Left click is the preferred behavior for us. It's all a matter of opinion. In this case it has changed from what it had been for many years giving us "left clickers" leverage in the argument on how it should work..

hokay, we should cover the eye-loving crowd. [thanks go to _Demo_, as usual]

for those who like to get a tan from webbrowsing, you may provide links to a better theme if you are so inclined.

Hooray, now I can't tell whether I'm on my own forum or the ZSNES forum anymore :)

Yay, visible links and new posts!
Only complaint I have left now is about the annoying "You have been successfully logged in." pages.

Wow, this is like 999x better. Just a few issues, though. The contrast is still low, just darker. Text should be a bit lighter, closer to white, if not completely white. This is still sooooo much more readable than prosilver, though.

Also, the new(?) emoticons have white speckle garbage around them... probably not much you can do about that without having to touch up each one individually.
Maybe these people were born without that part of their brain that lets you try different things to see if they work better. --Retsupurae

This new theme is better. Text needs to be white, not gray though. Contrast would be better, and text more readable.

Completely white text on very dark bg usually hurts my eyes. At least for longer pieces of text.
It could stand to be a little bit brighter than this though.

If it wasn't removed from the install process, subsilver2 should be installable from the ACP as an "Uninstalled Style". Then again even that style is a face tanner.

I've added subsilver2 back to the styles list should anyone want to use it.

I only see Prosilver (and the others), not Subsilver.

For the life of me, I can't find the Styles menu. I like this style just fine, but I'm curious about the other styles.

I prefer this theme to the other one, but text is just unreadable.
So don't worry; I just tell FireFox to override site settings on font colour and background color, and link colours. Everything looks ok now.

Looking good indeed. The only thing missing are a couple of banners for those various themes :)

Also, if it's not too much of a pain, could you add the "minimal" theme used in byuu's board? I love that theme. I use it all the time over on byuu's board.

Thanks.
For the time being I've allowed sites to display with the colours they choose, and I'm using subsilver2 instead.
