My forum was conceived to provide a place for the residents of my town to express their views. opinions, and suggestions regarding our town. That being said I added other subject so non residents can enjoy the site as well.

bad choice of colors

2 things that really stand out...
- the red-orange links are hard to read on light colored backgrounds (little contrast)
- the brown alternating color is too dark - black text on brown background hard to read

[Bob_R]

What colors do you suggest?

I chose those colors (orange, brown) I know yuck, because they're the towns colors. I'm thinking of going with orange and black. Specifically a skin I found here at vb.org.

Thanks! :)

Ok I can see this is going to be a nice little personal forum with a great motive - but i couldn't agree with Princeton any more.

The cleanest looking thing on your website is probably your ads :p When you're dealing with the main alternating colors (alt1,alt2) most of the time it's best to keep them rather close for easy transitioning, but regardless of which route you go - you need to edit the rest of the css accordingly. For example, that text on the orange should not be black nor the links orange, I can't read the text and the links hurt my eyes.

What do you think now gentlemen? I think it looks much better now. Yes or No?

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it very much. :)
