Default All titles in Yellow?

When Logged on with my work computer. (Internet Explorer) all the Thread titles and many other areas are in Yellow. Using the light blue (my preference) it is un-readable. Switched to the dark blue and I can read it now but the yellow is still vary hard for my (old) eyes. When they open it's ok with white lettering on a dark background.

Is there a way to change this? I looked by didn't see any options but the skin.

Thanks

I note this also, I'm miles from a geek but I have this also. I'm on Firefox by the way. I tried everything I could to adjust this, but my cat knows more about computers and internet than I do!

I realize the last couple days have been hectic for you forum administrators,thanks for all the hard/unseen work you do.

I see what you are seeing, but have no idea how that got changed. I haven't looked at those skins in 8 years. What color were the links before?

Thanks for asking. At least now I know it isn't just me. Yea, cant say the bright mustard yellow is for me but I don't think there is a way to change it. Change is good...

Is there any way to get back to the original color scheme options...????
The light blue is what I prefer, but now there is a dark/bold blue border around the upper section and lower sections, it really is distracting....

Was seeing the yellow stuff as well, but went in and selected the light blue schemes, but they are not what we had the past few months..

Thanks, in advance

They were a much paler yellow - kind of lemon yellow.
Now they are a dark mustard yellow.

Please get rid of the eye bleeding yellow text and revert back to the previous color scheme or at the very least proved a Style choice that doesn't produce massive headaches. Thanks.

Whether the text be chartreuse or ecru, I care not.

I don't recall the forum working any better or faster than it is now.

sceva & others,

For those with this Issue...This worked for me!! In the extreme lower left corner of the page you'll see a Drop-Down Box where you can change Font Sizes & Colors...Click on it & choose (S&W Forum-Light Blue Large Font)!!

This takes away the Yellow Highlighted Areas & shrinks the other Dark Blue Areas considerably...Much easier to read!!

Not knowing what that skin looked like, I have endeavored to try to get it back where I think they were. What say you?

Thanks, Masterpiece! My screen is as it was before -easier on my eyes, though I think I could have adjusted to the new color scheme.

And thanks to the staff for correcting the issues.

Regards,
Andy

Dave,

Bravo!! Whatever you just did changed pretty much everything back to it's original configuration...At least in the Light Blue Large Font Mode...Thanks!!

The Light Blue Small Font Mode still has quite a bit of Yellow...Although maybe that changed by now as well...Have to go check!!

The titles that don't have new posts or topics are now ok and more readable but the titles with new posts/threads are still very bright yellow due to those titles being bolded. I won't complain too much though, 90% of the time I read the forum it's through Tapatalk.

I was going to say the same. I have always done the dark blue scheme but I just had to switch over to the light blue large font. I cannot take the yellow/gold text. Oh well, change is good....
