A big THANK YOU goes out to Josh for his work towards upgrading the ASSRA Forum to the 2.6 configuration of YaBB.  

Everyone in favor of giving Josh a pay raise in his next envelope say "Yes".

Looks good to me to. My old screen showed a dark background and white letters which I found much easier on my eyes, can it be done on this revised forum and if so how? Thanks Josh.

Harry, at the moment this is our only color choice (can choose larger fonts if needed though). 

The old templates are not compatible with the new software, and I haven't found any pre-made templates for this version yet. I am working to re-created the old "Black" template, but its going to take some time. Will make an announcement when its available.

How do you change the text size on the posts?  I have trouble reading the small
font size that is the default.

Hello Josh,
Thanks for your reply, I appreciate your probably snowed under at the moment with other work on the Forum. I'll dig out my sunglasses so the glare doesn't hurt my eyes. Turning down the monitor screen brightness hasn't helped. I can wait though.

WOW!!  I like the new look.  The contrast is much softer and easier to read.  Great work, Josh. Cheesy

Josh,
We all really appreciate your fine work in keeping this forum up and running. It's my favorite forum and enjoy my time on it, very much.

Regarding the readability, I'm with Harry and Phil, for some reason, that black background is much easier on our old eyes.

Charley, if you hit control +, it will increase the size of the font and all else, in each page.

Again Josh, thank you for all your work Smiley
