I like the new color of the quoted text. Not stark white as before, but not quite so dark as Edwin's first color choice.

For logged in members, have you considered removing the header?

By that I mean everything that currently has the tan background at the top of the site.

Edwin: Did you look at that thread I linked to? (Showing you what i meant by MULTI COLOURED quotes)

I tried like crazy to find one that quoted MORE THAN 2 TIMES so you could see how pretty it is but i figured if you saw 2 of them you would know what I was trying to show ya

I'd rather not lose the visual identity, plus it also gives a handy space for the warning message which I think has really helped recently. Provides just the right "nudge" when emotions run high because of some problem or other.

Looked into that, but the way the code for the quotes is generated you end up with the same "style" element around each nested layer, so there's nothing to distinguish a quote from a quote-inside-a-quote i.e. nothing that can be independently restyled. I'm sure anything is possible with a vBulletin "hack", but as I've mentioned many times I don't like installing those except when absolutely unavoidable (e.g. spam blocking features)

I believe some forums you can actually let people choose a - theme such as a different colour scheme dependign on what they want the forum to look to members, I don't know if this is something that's been considered but in my opinion some of these changes such as the message composition box makes it a little harder to read the black text.

It has been considered - and rejected. It makes it impossible to make meaningful changes if/when necessary if you have no idea what individual forum members are seeing. It may be a fun touch, but for me it's as unnecessary as avatars, signatures, etc.

Not to me, too gaudy for my taste. OTOH I have other (and better) reasons to visit this forum than simply to admire the colour scheme

Edwin -- do you consider "hacks" unnecessary?
