This isn't really that important (and if this needs to be in a different section please move this!) but I don't know why but the orange tabs and brown header colors really look ugly to me and don't match very well. It would make sense to have the fall colors for Youmacon but not for our con. I would suggest to change it to a lighter blue or a silverish blue. I've been helping some friends that are into web design with giving them advice lately so I've been subconsciously critiquing sites that I'm going onto and this just popped out at me.

Does anyone else find the colors to be clashing or I'm just crazy...yeah that must be it.

You may be crazy, but as I'm colorblind I can't really say much about whether or not it clashes. I've never noticed.

But I will say I have no issues with orange and blue.

Of course....Da Bears! I don't know why that didn't click lol my parents basement is full of Bears paraphernalia. It still looks weird to me though. But like I said it isn't a big deal. Just thought I'd bring it up (forums have been dead lately...I had to poke it with a stick)

If anything there needs to be a dark background with light trim/text.

There is a dark theme. If you scroll waaaaay down to the bottom of the boards, you'll see a dropdown that reads "ACen" in it. You can change the board theme there.

Except that not all members can see this drop down box, much less select anything except 'ACen' in it. I know that's the only choice for me, the rest mst be hidden. ;p

Hmmm. You're right.

Looks like the dark theme isn't available to everyone... yet.

Our beleaguered web developer is working on alternate themes. She decided to go with a lighter theme to start with (lots of blues and whites, with orange and brown for contrasting colors) and is working her way through making a dark theme, though she wants to make sure it's totally done and has all the trimmings before releasing it to the public. She's a bit of a perfectionist that way.
