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.

Re: Did the forum change styles?
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.

Re: Did the forum change styles?
Yup. It's harder on the eyes. Maybe it's designed to keep the spammers away...

I am glad it's not just me.

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!"
