Hi, the dates and some other text is extremely hard to read (grey on orange).

To be frank, the contrast ratios between colors on this site has always given me a headache... but it's even worse now.

Thanks,
Barry

I use LCDs and CRTs and it gives me a headache on both.

The problem is the low contrasts, e.g. black on grey, ...

I agree, too much grey and low contrast.

The other problem is that the layout requires way too much scrolling, even with 1280x1024 resolution. There is just way too much dead space in between posts. If the user information for each post could be moved to the left, it would make reading a lot easier.

Edit: And this is after turning off avatars, signatures, which only make it worse.

Are you thinking of a layout similiar to what GottaDeal has setup for their vBulletin forum?

All you would have to do is then turn off signatures to make a lot more space.

Yep, that's the layout style I prefer. I have sigs and avatars turned off already, but you can see how with the other layout how much vertical space is saved with or without sigs on.

The time stamps seem to be off for me. I'm in Hawaii and it seems the timestamps on posts are about 1-1/2 hour ahead of my time. I tried to set my timezone to GMT -12 instead of GMT -10. After doing this, I noticed my posts are about 1-1/2 hours AHEAD of my time, but others are 30 minutes behind. DST is off for me since we don't observe it. What's wrong?

I take that back, this post shows the correct time stamp, but I'm still set to GMT -12.
