The page looks good to me, the forums drop down is no longer with text overwriting each other (probably though my end, I changed from a minimum font size to zooming the page in FF, makes a lot of pages look better, although some idiot webpages have fonts so tiny not even a teenager could read them... : ).

One new problem is that it used to be that posts you'd read were shown in a dimmed colour (the text at the bar at the right) after you'd read them. That was helpful in finding new posts (which this forum software is horrible at). Now they are all the same colour. : ( I could force FF to not use the web colours and use it's own visited links colours I guess. It'll look like poo though. ; )

OIPUN, can you please test again? You have to reload the page (STRG+F5)…

mxb2001: You are the second one who complains the color of visited. We may use the old colors until we find a better coloring.

I find that the page is fine after I reloaded the style sheets, but I'm using the latest Firefox on windows 10.

Currently the colors for links and visited links are those Nordfriese has proposed.

well the 2 colors are clear distinguishable for me however for the consistency with the past they should be applied vice versa. i.e. the colot vor visited and unvisited should be changed imho.

Looks like janus made this change. For me this feels not correct, at least with this colors, because non visited links are more prominent than visited links. My feeling says: "oh this is new, didn't looked it right now".

Attached a comparison of original, new and Nordfriese's colors. user links are always non visited, post links are always visited. But i don't know if the colors of the image are shown the same on all screens. tothxa, as elder of graphics, what do you think? Any other idea?

I like it now, with enough contrast IMO, and to me the switched one (the one we have right now) turns out to look more intuitive. I mostly care about it in the Latest Posts sidebar, so I can see at a glance posts I didn't read yet (standing out clearly in orange-yellow now) versus posts I already read some time before (now inconspicuously faded in pale gold; previously darkened in brown to decrease their contrast against the background).
