Hi there Banjo

Nice First post. (poke tongues)

I am afraid that cannot be changed by Members, seeing as phpBB software is used to run this site, there has been a big overhaul of how phpBB operates and to do an update to the new software would mean we would need to find another style (backround skin) to use, which means something other than black may get used in the future. Even though I am an Admin I dont have the rights to start changing the major things that this board needs to operate.

If you wish to see some things improved/changed try the contact us page and detail what you would like to see changed, here http://www.yowiehunters.com.au/index.php/contact-us-sp From there it will go straight to Dean and he can forward it off to Lissa.

Cheers

Cheers Dion.

I can understand why the black has been chosen for the background from a cosmetic point of view but from a technical side of things i find it strange because some forums deliberately have the black background for non members so it forces them to join i.e. so it doesnt stuff with their eyes anymore.
I guess i'm the only one but i do find i can only read for a short while before i have to give up.
