So, I made some split second decision making and here we are with an all new Vote Cheesus forum. I hope you all like it! As always, feedback is appreciated especially considering some of you are proficient with web design.

You could say something along the lines of, "Increase the contrast between the text and the background color", instead of being rude. I have no idea what brightness settings you are using, but the skin is easy to read from my screen and doesn't make "my eyes bleed" as you so kindly put it.

It's an opinion and nothing more. That's awesome, I'm glad you realize that and I respect that. Most people go their whole lives and don't figure out that they can do that. Congrats, kid! You'll go far. Anyway, thanks for fixing the contrast issue!

That is, if we go with an orange palette. Ya know, cheese wedges in place of arrows and such.

The one you see here was quickly thrown together for the first round of a skinning competition. It's merely temporary and I can make something much better then this and the one you linked to. All the skins on these forums will fit the red, white and blue theme of the American flag, in addition to the yellows of Team Cheesus.

Cheesus Lover Posts: 190 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: January 22, 2008	So how married are we to the whole "vote Cheesus" motif anyway? I mean it's kinda funny and all, but we're going to eventually drop it aren't we? I'm not saying we need to change the team name or anything, I don't care about that, it's just that when designing the website etc it seems like it might be easier to go with a cheese theme rather than an "elect the cheese" theme. Doesn't bother me one way or another, just putting it out there.
