Post Forum themes?
I'm trying to find how to change the theme the forum uses to something that doesn't involve dark red text on a black background and the corresponding blood that pours from my eye-holes trying to read it.

Am I an idiot or is there no way to change the theme since the latest revamp of the site?

This is the only theme skinned to fit the site. Although I don't really see how the red makes your eyes bleed, what kind of theme were you looking for?

Also, is this section of the forums even supposed to be down here?

I don't really care as long as the text and background have some contrast. I'm not suggesting that you make the default theme anything but what you have skinned here, but at least give us the option of manually changing to something that is easier to read like the default phpBB skin or something.

Wait, are you trolling me? I'm sure you didn't seriously just suggest that red on black/dark grey is easy to read...

Red text in body is a lot different than headers. I have absolutely no issues reading red headers on a dark background. I guess with a bad monitor it may be hard to read, I donno.

I don't think it's unreasonable to add a couple of other themes for users to select. I like this one, but dark text on a dark background can stress the eyes. The white text here is fine, but the red text isn't my favorite, either.
