Well sorry to hear that but there is no user option available. The colour scheme selected runs through the forum, and all the related web sites hosted on the server.<br /><br />Users have the option of selecting an avatar, days of posts to display, signatures, but no control over colouring - sorry.<br /><br />Not that anyone is being unreasionable, but we have spent a lot of time doing the portals for the entire aus-city sites and forums. Graphics are selected to match the colours.<br /><br />If we break the scheme for one forum, then next thing its another and another and so forth. The server is paid for by myself, as well as licensing for the forums, and all of the web sites hosted here.<br /><br />In the future should such a forum upgrade exist allowing users to select colouring no problems.<br /><br />However I am not getting into the debate of changing to another style / brand of forum. This UBB Classic is lifetime licensed, so I am not in a hurry to go waste money and buy something else for a extra feature or two and loose other features we use.<br /><br />Also its not like we are the ONLY site or forum with dark background:<br /><br />http://www.blueskyrecords.com/indexu/index.php <br /> http://www.blueskyrecords.com/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,37/ <br /> http://www.xsorbit4.com/users/lady/index.cgi#about <br /> http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11873 <br />http://www.dark-wraith.com/<br />
