Website Feedback

Any suggestions or questions feel free to post here to inform those working on the site.

The bad:
I find the header hard to read and the color scheme of the site has clashing colors, the mouse over color is also very similar to the background color of the page so it's hard to read. The green color of some of the posts and menu boxes is a very similar darkness to the text also making it hard to read.

The good:
It's a solid design and very usable.

Good work so far, thanks

+1 about colour scheme.

Can we adopt the colour scheme of the old Op For forums? At least that was easier to read.

I'd like to see black text, with a white or offwhite/gray background. Other colours can be modified to achieve a good contrast and easy readability. Maybe similar to the Airsoft Canada colour scheme or something like Airsoft Forum, Airsoft Mechanics, or whatever?

Maybe the admins can take a look here for some colour choice inspiration: http://colorbrewer2.org/

I also have a colour scheme that I like using for some of my production stuff (colours listed in RGB and CMYK);

Black background

Light Gray (text boxes?): 34C / 24M / 32Y / 2K
176R / 177G / 166B

Dark Gray (alternating text boxes?): 40C / 30M / 37Y / 7K
109R / 111G / 100B

Blue (accents?): 51C / 26M / 15Y / 49K
58R / 74G / 88B

And with black text on grey it's actually pretty readable.

I want the board index move to the othe side of the page so when I'm on my IPhone I don't hit the user control panel instead. Bigger would be nice too
