Forums are now nice and black. Many thanks for the quick fix.

Definitely a step in the right direction.

Running a mmorpg is tough.

Being picky:
I would suggest to shift the message bodies color to a slightly brighter shade of black for a difference from the background color and for the ease of reading (it's already there, but not perceivable enough). And the block where's written "Author" and "message" should be darkened to match the whole thing.

:D

The scroll bar on the side is nearly invisible under this color scheme.

Heh- I never even realized there WAS a scroll bar...does your mouse not have a wheel?

Not at work. And that's all that really matters.

Install Firefox, IE is obsolete.

This at work thing is a hard concept to grasp.  I guess God is telling me something.

Can we get some other colors for those of us who don't live in a monotone world. Blech, eyes hurting from this.

I thought that was the point of your avatar. We'll toy around with colors and if one works we'll try it out.

This doesn't look too bad, but with even a bit of sunlight in the room, it may as well just be an all black screen.  Oh, and using the scroll bar is pretty much just blind luck that you click on it right now.

Out of curiosity,  what is the signifigance of "f13" anyways?

There's this row of keys at the top of your keyboard.

Look at them and contemplate.

f13 was a horrible game put out by stephen king. Well based on a story by stephen king. But this is completely unrelated, I've owned this domain name like forever. One of my friends had found an 'f13' key to replace the print screen button on IBM keyboards at a computer convention like years ago. I was like, wow that's short and easy to remember. So I bought the domain.

No real hidden meaning. There's just very few domain names available that are 3 letters long.

I have my browser colours disabled at work, so I never care about these ritual pickings-of-the-board-colours.

Talking of patching, I'm not able to stay logged in here, even though cookies are on and I tick "log me on each visit". ISTR waterthread doing that a long while ago, too. Is it just me?

Works for me in firefox and ie. And everyone else I talk to....if you find a fix post it, other people may very well be experiencing this.

Check your browser settings to make sure that you're not forcing it to load everything from the cache.  If that doesn't do it, dump the cache, history (just trust me) and cookies, then retry.  One of 'em will usually resolve issues like that.

Seems to be ok now. I didn't change anything at all, so maybe just a transient bug.

I think it was just a glitch.  Happened to me as well right around the time they updated the colors yesterday.

Yeah, we'll be sure to tell the 80-something% of users on the Internet who are still using IE that they should all die in a browser fire or something.

Did your mother drop you as a baby, or were you genetically pre-disposed to be a fuckhead?

Here, let's try this:

Install Firefox. IE is a steaming pile of crap.

FIFY

Not to mention if you use something like Avant Browser (http://www.avantbrowser.com/), you get all the benefits of IE without the suck, and all the benefits of others browsers such as tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, etc.

Surely I cannot be the only one left still using Opera? Firefox takes its sweet sweet time to load pages for me for some reason.

It was ironic.
I'm not pretending everyone to move, it's just a personal preference.
For me it is obsolete, for you I don't know.

In the "unintended, yet happy consequences" department, I initially read your stylized "f13.net" logo as reading "fB.net" ("eff-B.net").

When logging in, the text box background is grey and so is the text.  Which makes it kind of hard to read.  Not a big deal though.

I like the theme too.
