I appreciate the use of color to deliniate the different board posts. It is of great help to me in finding things I am looking for visually, though I have to make another quick suggestion. Is it possible to use another color other than blue to seperate things. It's covering the username links visually. If you are not using a screen reader, you won't see who wrote the post because the link is the exact same color as the seperating band. I would recomend yellow, or any pastel color. I think everything should show up then. Thanks for listening.

we can do yellow, sure. That was the goal, since someone had asked for a visual separator.

Simply change the "bgcolor" attribute of the <table> tag to yellow.

J, would it be possible to let people choose which colors they want to use? Maybe add something else in the account settings that lets them choose the color they want to use for the board posts? Heck, why sotp there? You can even color quicknotes if it's that easy to code in.

Yellow would be perfect. Actually it was me that had asked for different colors, and I love that it was implemented, but like I said, blue seems to mask usernames. Thanks for looking into it.

Thanks for the suggestions, and I love how Twkav provides the HTML code to use as if I didn't already know it. I mean, we've been doing this site for... aw, never mind. Custom site colors is a decent idea and something I'm looking in to.
