    Anybody mind checking out my forum colors?

    It's not finished yet, I still need to do something with the header, but as far as the other colors, I wanted to try to stay away from the colors that are normally used, just let me know if I should keep the colors or lose em, thanks for any input.

      Is it that the colors are that bad or just the fact that I don't have a banner and a few other things yet?

        well the orange kind of hurts the eye. maybe something less bright or a lower orange and the purple doesn't match it really well. try using orange, light blue and white. that's a good combo that never fails.

            Not bad, but I would go lighter on the gray. The contrast is too low to be read comfortably by many people.

              Yeah that gray with the purplish blue is too much of a contrast. I like that yellow on the purple though. (The time is yellow). But that gray has to go.

                    wow

                    i can hardly read the txt with the red background

                    choose some softer colours and pick ones that go together like :

                    aqua blue and white

                      All of the softer colors that I have tried have all been way too bright.

                          sorry to say this, but those colors don't match... in any way.
                          Try looking at some other sites, and mess around with variations of their color schemes, to get the hang of it.

                            I like what you've got at this point, but your board runs extra slow on my end. Just an FYI.

                              I don't know what else I could do for speed wise, I am running Apache web server, running php4 as a module, and that all is running on a dual pIII 600 which should be plenty to handle the scripting. Maybe it might have something to do with the terrorist attack and wiping out alot of networks. I'm really not sure, hopefully it isn't a problem for everyone that will eventually use the site, thanks for the input though.
