I like the new sections, but I liked the old look better, this is too hard to read.

I have given it a go for a week now and i'm going to have to agree the font thats being used is very ugly and hard to read. esp with the bright contrast colours of he menus.

Perhaps to help the colour issue you can/*should* be able to set a background colour for posts that alternate on each post.
see my teams forum for an example here --> http://uwbsurfteam.proboards28.com/inde ... 1104697354

obiviously thats quite a change from this but perhaps some differnet shades of gray or cream might help blend the menus together?

OK, I have done as suggested - hopefully it is now more readable - you can't have a forum that people cannot read.

I have had a look and this will not work the way the board is currently because of modifications that have been made to templates.

The bottom line here is that if people feel that the board is unreadable and this issue cannot be solved then I will restore the original skin - I would rather that the forum had the look akin to the main site.
(please tell me the main site is readable :? )
