I still think that the main listings page for each forum is a bit difficult to read, due to the combination of blue text on the grey background. Plus, the par at the top is very difficult to read, for the same reason.
Also, the grey input box is too dark for black text, IMO.
*Edit*
Looking at it, it's fine for threads you've read, but for unread threads it's still a little big....
I notice another problem. :x when going into Forum Setting, like your General Profile settings etc, the boxes of text are gray, while the text is a darker gray. It is also hard to read.
Although note that I do enjoy the textbox for typing posts on the forum being gray, it's easier on the eyes!
Hmm, another thing you might want to deal with is the PM folder. It's currently blue text on a grey background, which makes it very hard to read the message titles.
Where do you see blue text on the gray background? I know about the stuff in the navbar; I need to make a new gradient for that that extends the black gradient down further. Otherwise, I don't know what you're talking about.
Grey Input Box: Well, in (slightly) older versions of vBulletin, this was controlled with texteditor_background. Seems that got deprecated as of vBulletin 4.0.8, so I have to find what setting adjusted this, as it's clearly possible, but something else "took it over."
Unread threads vs. Read Threads? That's mostly a placebo effect. The forum makes no distinction between them, but unread threads have slightly "bigger" text due to the bolding. It shows up perfectly fine and normally readable for me at my resolution of 2048x1152...
If you really think it's a problem, put up a screenshot of the listing. It's possible this could be affected by resolution... though I don't really see why.
That said, I did notice sticky threads do not have their usual gradient. This means something ELSE controls sticky threads, and I gotta friggin' find that.
Yes, yes, I know this. These settings are friggin' annoying to find, and there were a lot of changes between the visual skinning guide I got (Which was accurate of 12/2009) and now. Just about the entire section on user profiles is 100% out of date in this guide. I think I've finally found some resources on this, though... stay tuned.
See above. Basically the same thing applies there.
Of course. Admins can do anything, including dock or boost your post count.
What do you mean by that? An option to post without an avatar? Just remove it. If you don't want to see other people's avatars, I'm pretty sure you can adjust whether avatars display in your user options.
Specific posts without avatars? I can't think of that being in very high demand...

I think he means, if it's possible to remove his avi from those RP-archive-posts. It's there "a few" times.
But it's cute, so it doesn't bother me! :3
I don't think we can control something like that without a mod, and honestly it's almost too much trouble to install something like that for one small thing. I know I could wipe out his avatar completely, but I don't think it's easily possible to do that on a per-post basis.

Oh, I just noticed.
The name of the "Announcements" board is misspelled.
I have no idea if it's been like that all along, or if it was added recently by accident.
Unless I'm missing something, lol.
Hungry eyes.
Fixed.

This seems to be fixed now. The rest is just fine anyway, I think....
Well, having used it for a few days, I think it's not as bad as I first thought, so I can live with it now....Unread threads vs. Read Threads? That's mostly a placebo effect. The forum makes no distinction between them, but unread threads have slightly "bigger" text due to the bolding. It shows up perfectly fine and normally readable for me at my resolution of 2048x1152...

Yeah, I did fix this. I'll keep the rest of the changes under a testing skin, then roll them back into the main one once I figure out everything.
Also, apparently, vBulletin will soon be releasing an updated visual reference guide... which helps, as the guide I have is full of deprecated/unused Stylevars.

Well, I don't know if you can fix this (and you should already know, given that the message in question was sent to you), but the quote function in VM's is somewhat buggy. It seems to over-write the username bar at the top.
Strange, it works fine in the regular view. Only if you go into the full conversation does that happen. And you're right, I don't know if I can fix it.
I'll see what I can do. For now, try not to begin them with a quote. That should avert it.
