I switch this forum to read-only mode. If you recently started a new thread here, please move it over to the new forum at http://forum.nikonrumors.com/discussions

Thanks,

If the white is too bright for your eyes your screen is too bright, turn the brightness down.

I calibrate my monitor so that is not going to happen. I'll have to wear sunglasses ;-/

On the monitor? Doesn't work for me too much but it doesn't bother me enough to fix. The white dosen't bother me anywhere near as much as the Yellow highlights for "recent posts" on a thread... It got fixed tho :D

Can we compromise on grey? Easier on the eye than bright white!

Sorry Peter - bring back the black!

All studies show that white background is better on the eyes. All major websites have white background. Maybe I should od a poll. I still kept the black/yellow theme to remind us that this is a Nikon related site.

Why was this new site necessary? This one was fine.

The amount of spam we were getting lately was out of control. Unfortunately, this forum platform did not give us enough tools to fight/block the spammers. The new forum is a much modern solution and it looks much better. It is one of the easiest to use forum packages out there.

The new forum is located at http://forum.nikonrumors.com/discussions and is live now. I made it white to match the main blog. I hope I will not get many complains :)

Verify? It asks me to fill in a new application (my existing details don't work), and then comes up with that when I click on the "sign up" button. What else should I be doing?

****Don't worry, ignore my last, I think the problem was allowing my iPhone to "auto fill" my email address. After entering manually it has gone through O.K.*****

Every time I try and register I keep getting "Email does not appear to be valid."? Any ideas?

Doesn't seem to be working very well yet.

Edit: Okay, it does now, just had to verify email address.
