Default Did the forum change styles?

Suddenly the backgrounds look paler and unreadable and the contrast between text and background is poorer. Its not a drastic change, just enough that I want to close my eyes rather than look at the forum.

Is there any way to change this under user settings? The new colours are physically painful.

It's definitely changed, though I haven't exactly cached an old style sheet so I don't know exactly how.

Yes they did. It's a much brighter and paler shade of yellow. You can see the old color scheme by visiting archive.org - example page.

I don't like it. The brightness is a bit much compared to what we're all used to, but I think the real issue is that the pale yellow contrasts badly with all the red text used for links to sub-forums, threads, and as hyperlinks on the forums.

Yup. It's harder on the eyes. Maybe it's designed to keep the spammers away...

On the plus side, it means someone actually touched their vBulletin setup.

I'm just glad others noticed it. I was worried something was wrong with my eyes again.

I gaze upon the forums, and think of commercials for laundry detergent. "The old SJGames forums were cleaned with Brand X, but look at how white ours makes them!"
