You're Top Poster: #5  | I have to admit that I did not like the Halloween skin! Too dark and bits were unreadable! But I will have a look at the website and see what is available

You're Top Poster: #4  | I agree the halloween skin was hard to read, but that is because the writing was a deep shade of purple.

You're Top Poster: #1  | I really enjoyed the Halloween skin for the first couple of hours - then made my eyes water. The problem is that I'm colour blind so my perceptions of some skins will be different from other "normal" peoples

You're Top Poster: #4 | I was OK, but dealt with it by letting my eyes relax and go slightly out of focus for the hard to read bits.

You're Top Poster: #2 | I think if we became "the forum with the colour WWII pics on the front page" we'd really stand out from the rest. I wasn't a fan of the Halloween skin either but appreciated Lee's efforts as it was worth a chuckle! Looking forward to any Poppy one that is done. Believe it or not, my sister is getting married on the 11th within throwing distance of the state war memorial and you'll never guess what time she's scheduled to start. I have argued with here for six months to get it changed and have resorted to telling her to arrive fashionably late and telling my mates who are bringing some old cars for her and her fiance to "take their time". Dumb, dumb, dumb! Jodi and I shall be wearing poppies at least.
