What ever you do - DON'T do this - Page 2

Not all of you might be aware that this forum has several skins. Most of you are probably using the SmartDaft skin, but many are also using the LazyBlue skin.

Since most are using the SmartDaft skin, which has a dark back ground, they do not realize that text posted in a light color is barely readable by many users. See the examples below:

So if you want all people to be able to read your post in a normal way then please stop using light text colors like blue, yellow, white, etcetera. Just type the text and leave it as it is, then the forum software will make sure every one can read your message.

And if you really want to change the text color then please change the skin before posting. So you can check if others will be able to read your message. A skin can be easily changed using the User CP , but the fastest way for a quick check is the pull down menu in the bottom left corner of each forum page.
