My eyes just can't take white text on a dark background. Any chance of getting a black on white style?

THIS!!! I can't read the light on dark, it strains my eyes so bad that I don't even want to read the forums

Don't get all excited and frantic, folks. You're welcome to switch back to the lighter styles.

I so want to make a joke about use of CAPS and EXCLAMATION!!!!!! POINTS!!!!!!! straining my eyes so bad I don't even want to read the forums, but I just know somebody will get upset if I do. So I won't.

I like the dropdown menu. My only complaint is that the dropdowns appear on hover, which mean I'm often opening them accidentally. I would much prefer if they opened on a click event.

I see that the dropdown menus have been replaced with convenient links. I like the change.

I've whacked it up into the top right, sharing the header table, giving us an extra 0.75cm or so. At this point, I think I've saved as much vertical space as is possible with this software. I do worry that having it that close to the ad banner will distract from it, but we do have as tight a header as I think we're ever likely to have.

In the top bar menu, under Profile, the second option currently says "Settings" Any chance you would consider changing it to "User Control Panel" or "Control Panel" or "Settings & User Control Panel" or some variation thereof?

I ask simply because I use the User Control Panel for all my subscribed forums and threads (rather than the main forum list) and it took me a bit to realize that the control panel link was under settings.

I mean, it's not impossible to figure out (and is simply a matter of relearning), just mentioning it in case other people were having the same difficulty as I was (which i'm guessing was also happening in this other thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/meta/331698-so-i-cant-acess-my-subscibed-threads.html )

I'm not trying to be disagreeable - but the previous menu said "Settings", too. We've used "Settings" in menus here now for a period of time measured in years. This particular thing isn't a change!

I could prove it by switching back to the menu you've been using for the last few years up until this week. That one says "Settings", too!
