    Looks great - thank you
    Might help to change the thread title links from red to white - hard to read the red on black

    My eyes thank you sir! Very nice.

    As TorontoRed says, the red text on dark background isn't great to read. This might be an unpopular opinion given the club colours but maybe do away with the red text, except for the links (Like, Reply, Edit, Report etc.), which are fine.

    Another minor one... the pinned subjects don't stand out as such. It confused me at first why there was an old thread at the top. There is a red dividing line on the regular light theme.

    Thanks Andy, really appreciated. Like those above have said, I don't think red and black is a good fit, but understand it's the club's colours.

    Should be just about sorted now,

    just post here if there’s any unreadable areas, eg background same colour as text.

    or improvements etc

    thanks

    Hi @andytyke

    As per image below - alerts aren't very visible, and when typing a search it seems to be white text on white box.

    It looks cool, but I'll probably only use it at Halloween.

    This keeps getting better and better.

    The 'Messages have been posted since you loaded this page' message is white text on very light pink so quite unreadable.

    [​IMG]

    The quoted replies on the red background are a little hectic on the peepers. Not sure what others think. Edit: the red boxes look fine on my mobile. Just bright on my desktop monitor.

    Edit 2: After idling for a while a popup came up to sign in once again. That window had dark text on dark background. Sorry I'm not clearer on which window I mean. My memory...
