Maybe you could make the thin lines between posts/sidebar have a little more contrast?
It may make the boards look a little less 'run-on'.

Re: Suggestion
WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree here. The horizontal line between the posts of a thread needs to be orange or white instead of black/brown. I can't see where the next message being very easily.Lord_Byron wrote:Maybe you could make the thin lines between posts/sidebar have a little more contrast?

The "line" between posts is actually the dark brown background of the page and it isn't likely to be changed. Plus, I don't see a problem with it. Maybe you need to calibrate your monitors. (I don't know how to do that, it just sounds pretty cool).

See MACBBS!
I was referring to the seperators between the pane on the left as well as the seperators between each post. See the attached from the MACBBS for what I am referring to. They use a thin orange line between everything which breaks things up to make them more readable.

Grant, they're talking about the lines that separate each post in a thread. Remember when I mentioned to you that it would be good if they alternated colors slightly? Like one post be dark brown, the next be a slightly lighter brown, then dark brown, then light brown, etc.
It would separate the replies a little better. It was my only problem with the style, but the template itself didn't work like that, and I'm not sure if it can be changed to do it.

I agree, but I can see how some people have trouble distinguishing one reply from the next one to it.ZiggyZoomba wrote:I think it looks fantastic!!

I'm trying to do my part and have 1,274 "bright orange buttons" at the bottom of my posts.ZiggyZoomba wrote:

Re: Suggestion
Not quite in Indy yet. August 14th is the big moving day! Spent some time in Findlay this weekend, and a much-needed nap and busy parents kept me from lunch in BG. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like my next trip back there will be until November, *IF* I can get a couple days off to get to the UT game.ZiggyZoomba wrote: That's some mighty fine buttoning there Tony!

Funny thing is, there's a billboard on I-70 East in Richmond, IN for the Tractor Pulling Championships next month...made me feel a little closer to home!
