It's not just you, Yurei. The colors are good overall and I like the graphics, but the posts themselves are ow. I can't read light text on medium backgrounds very well, and blue is my worst color for that. Text should be either very bright on very dark or (better) black on light. Anything else makes me want to spork my eyes out after a short period of time.
(And yes, I have the contrast and whatnot high on my monitor.)

Could we do something about the text though? To me it looks almost grey-blue on blue and on the less bright-blue posts it's really hard to see. I dunno if making it "Brighter" would work or not. Color balance is touchy crap. Might just be your monitor, I checked it on my laptop and my PC and it's fine, I have no trouble reading it. You may need to bump up your contrast a bit. -Pheno

I just bumped up the text color a bit. Any change?

Yep, that's getting better, especially since it now contrasts with the post borders more...can you make the post backgrounds a twitch darker too?

Mhmm, It's a little bit on the active contrasted side and competes a bit with the text. Blanking out the brighter white bits would probably fix that.
Still though, I like the layout as a whole.

Yeah, Pheno nixed the tweaked BG (darker, cleaner lines, same design) I had so we may be stuck with this one.

I didn't like it at first. Then I hit 'reload', and the new BG showed up. Ahhh.

I like! ;D The blue is a bit bright, but I'll get used to it. Phenotype's Message Board Genisis! As I modify this I agree with SH. The New would be cool in the same color orange as the "Modify Post," above or the "Topic Summary" below where I'm currently typing...

If I may add, I find the colour scheme alright, but its the green bit on the sides that's a little weird. I can read the stuff without "sporking my eyes" but its a tad bit too bright. I guess I have to tone down my monitor a little.
j*ryu, if possible, could you change the colours of the New icon that appears with threads that have new posts? Its current in blue with the word New in white so it looks like it kinda merged with the blue backgrounds.. Just an observation.

Stormhawk, they've already said that the green is a problem deriving from your cache. Hit shift and refresh/reload and you should get the new image xp

I like it. It wasn't like this an hour ago. XD Are you going to change the green on the banner and also the design to the left (green color), or are you going to leave it as is?
OH WAIT *refresh* AWW SWEET!!! I LOVE the background!!! * points* Oww! And the new banner!!! Dude that is tight! ;D ;D

People seeing green: Right click, view backgound image, shift refresh (or whatever it is in your browser). It's not supposed to be greeeeen.
And it's much more contrasty now, to the people wondering why Yurei and I were blinded earlier :p.
