I regret to inform the few members that used the FIBlack3dBlue style that the style is no longer available for use. To be honest it shouldn't have been available for use at all, I didn't realize that I never disabled it.

This is due to FIBlack3dBlue being very outdated and the way it was originally built causes that style to be more stressful on the SpudFiles server.

Sorry! For those who liked the darker style, don't worry... style options will be available soon enough 8)

I was wondering why it changed. I liked the black and blue better, but this is fine.

Trust me, the new one grows on you. I've stuck with it since the change.

I remember when it changed, everyone was like 'Argh my eyes' :lol:

Oh so thats what happened.

I was wondering why everything was white. It made me feel disorientated.

To say the truth, i liked black but i can deal with this. :D

This is kindof ironic because i said (to myself) that you would make a topic about this and you did!

Man im good.

Well first of all, it has been updated in the last 3 years, unlike FIBlack3dBlue, so there are all sorts of nice little features, such as saying who the poster was under recent posts. All together a good change from my point of view.

And my eyes actually hurt.Not just an expression..

I have really never understood how a white SpudFiles could make someones eyes hurt. Because if this hurts your eyes, then Google must burn like crazy, and most of the websites online and windows on your computer must make you burn as well. That goes along with working in Word, reading a piece of paper, or looking at a white car or wall.

Exactly...except the paper and white car or wall.
Looking at a computer screen in all white makes my eyes water..

But don't worry

Anything to keep that server running!

Brian, it tends to be worse if the room is quite dark, so if that's ever the case flick on a light or two :)

I’m with Brian, I prefer the darker version.
It bugs my eye’s a bit, but I turn the brightness way down on my monitor and it’s tolerable. :)

If at all possible you need to release a darker theme, I find light grey/white text on a dark, almost black, grey background is nice, never use pure white, to bright, nor pure black, to dark.
Call me "Judge", it's easier to type.
