Black or white?

[Guillaume]

Although black is cool, it is very tiring when reading for a long time (which I tend to do). I prefer the white. That being said, my favorite theme was the old Player's Handbook theme on the old ENWorld1 boards.

Black is "cool"? Really?

I prefer white, or at least a lighter colour.

Why would black make your eyes go funny, I don't get it?

Some people claim it does. :shrug:

Black of course. It makes the forums look thinner.

Seriously, I find it much less eye straining, also when I browse at night in a dark room sudden white pages get moved through as quickly as possible.

The answer is skins, of course!

All kidding aside, I prefer the black background. However, if the contrast wasn't so huge on the white background (maybe a light grey background?) I would consider it.

I concur. About the first thing I looked for in the new boards was a theme like that.

Black. . .

Or maybe the brushed charcoal look that hangs around behind the forums? I don't know if that would be readable, though.

I prefer white for work browsing, but as has been mentioned, the answer is really skins. Everyone gets what they want that way.

It says I'm not allowed to vote in this poll, but I prefer black.

The white is a little hurtfull on my eyes on my 30" monitor, I'm considering wearing sunglasses and using sunblock 30 when I view the front page...
