    The default coloring of user-pages is right now is disgusting. White text on a light-gray background. Can we please change this? I think I've formatted my coloring to be fairly optimized for reading, and still be a tiny bit pretty with the light gray background. Here are the steps that are needed to change one's own profile - I hope this is generalized in the future (change default to some reasonable setup).

    Spoiler
    Edit: changed "page background" to #dddddd and "content background" to #eeeeee.

    You can change the defaults on your profile but that's it. There are a few different page setups if you look in the very bottom left corner.

    No, I'm suggesting making the default for a NEW member to be something that's actually readable. As is, when a person makes an account, their page looks terrible. I'm suggesting changing the default colors. If you browse a few profiles, you'll see the white text on gray background dilemma I'm addressing.

    Last time I adressed that issue, I was told this seems to be a major problem with the forum software used.

    Argh, vbulletin is more than able to handle changing the default color setup. If you need some help setting it up, I'd be glad to poke about and try to figure it out.

    its a big issue due to the multiple skins we have vbulletin sometimes confuse all the skins parameters and creates something that's a mix of everything :(

    I'm assuming it's much too early for these kinds of permissions, so I'll ask later, but I'd love to poke around at your vbulletin and skin stuff to fix this. I have lots of time these upcoming weeks, so time wouldn't be an issue.
