Hey guys,with the new bulletin board software updated and some of you(including I) mentioning the not so desired bright background,I went ahead and added a "Dark" background.

To change background style,scroll to the bottom of your current page and you will see "vB4 Default Style",click that and a drop down menu should appear.

Select "Dark" and voila! the bright style changes to the better on the eyes Dark :thumbs

I am getting acquainted with the newest software and want to take a swing at getting us dialed back in!

Guys....this update totally sucks. I have the darkest background imaginable. The blue highited boxes with dark text font are nearly unreadable, and I find myself running away every time I stop by!!!!

I cannot find the vb4 Default Style setting anywhere. What am I doing wrong? It is so dark I need a flashlight to read it....please tell me what I'm doin' wrong?

RSG,scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see a tab with "Dark" in it(bottom left),click that and you can de--select dark for the default vb color:)

I can generate another color scheme that will make the text with the blue background more readable., I'm open to suggestions as I can generate more color schemes to suit just about every taste :sweet

Found it...thanks. I set it to the default (white) and it is much more better (for me). I felt like I was spelunking it was so bloody dark! To each their own, glad we have choice. Thanks a bunch!!

Hey CHP, I cannot find the "undo" button "vB4 Default Style" anymore. I prefer a lighter background and darker text to the inverse...but my system reset sometime in the past few months after I first changed it back, and now I can't find the button. I've been meaning to ask about this! Can you advise?

Thanks!

Appears that the ability for me to change the forum color on my profile has been disabled as well. :watchout

Sorry I'm out of the information loop around here.

I never changed that setting. I was done before I bought the site. You all want me to allow you to change it to the default light skin?
