I have made some adjustments to the superbold theme, like increasing the font size. But you're right - the link color was too light. I've replaced the medium gray link color with a dark blue <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/000066">#000066</a>. I've replaced the dark gray <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/444444">#444444</a> text with black. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-forum-just-for-art-teachers#post-9889 Sat, 04 Aug 2007 09:15:19 +0000 _ck_ 9889@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Great work!</p> <p>I will make one important suggestion however.<br /> There is too little contrast between the background colours and foreground text colours.</p> <p>For someone with poor eyesight problems (like me) this makes it very difficult to focus and read all the text. Either make the (link) text darker or make it another darker colour (ie. navy blue) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-forum-just-for-art-teachers#post-9877 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 23:31:44 +0000 chrishajer 9877@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Dawn, that looks really nice. Nice job. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-forum-just-for-art-teachers#post-9874 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 21:58:41 +0000 dawnsbrain 9874@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Yeah, it's pretty niche, but there are a lot of art teachers out on the web, and not a whole lot of places for them to converse. bbPress has allowed me to provide the hands-down best-looking and best-behaving forum for them. I'm doing my best to get the word out now. I've had a few bites, but it's slow-starting. Any ideas for further promotion would be much appreciated.</p> <p><a href="http://www.artteacherforum.com">artteacherforum.com</a></p> <p>Dawn Pedersen<br /> Web and Graphic Design Teacher<br /> Grades 9 -12<br /> Sacramento, CA </p>
