I keep forgetting to reply to this.
The quote box has very weird behavior for some reason. I fixed it somewhat to have a border, but what it displays seems to depend on what skin people use. I notice that I see new posts with light borders and even default borders. I'm hoping this will be fixed when we upgrade the forums soon.
As for the choice of colors, I've found that I get more complaints when I make a "bright" skin than when I make a more darker/low contrast one. I think it's because people really don't like backgrounds that hurt the eyes. I know I don't. Although I do notice there is a dramatic change in the skin coloring from my desktop to my laptop. On my laptop the colors appear to be a lot duller than they are on my desktop [the skin was designed on the laptop]. so those of you who are seeing dull colors probably have a similar screen to my laptop.
@Adder, are you still having slow load times. It's probably a caching issue. I did run a test on the total size of the main page comparing the industrial to the native and the native is actually a little smaller in size. Of course the Munch/Honeybee themes are always going to be smaller in size as they are designed with speed in mind.
Thanks all for the welcome backs.
Although I hope to hang around, I kind of aren't really too sure what to post in general topics now days. I suffer from the same problem at my other forum as well.
