Better contrast this way, but will take a bit to get used to. My eyes are used to seeing blue topics. However, this scheme goes better with my new shoes

The other colour scheme was more... upbeat.
These colours bum me out.

Opera users can create their own css stylesheet, then right click while browsing the forum and choose Edit site preferences...
Then go to the display tab and browse to the location of your stylesheet under My Style Sheet.

Ahh, that may be why it's hurting my eyes. I don't deal well with high contrast. (Makes me squint and is uncomfortable for me.)
Oh well, I'll just use pjb's suggestion and dust off my css to come up with something that works for me.

Why all the grey? It's like I've gone color blind.

It's hard to even describe how much I don't like this new color scheme. I'm not even sure what it is I don't like, if it's the contrast or the color or just what. But I really hate it a lot.
I'm trying to figure out the custom stylesheet solution in Opera 9 now, but if anyone has some helpful tips or links to howtos I'd appreciate it. Or Don could just give us a choice of skins.

Here you go Mark, this should get you going in the right direction. I was able to find the css for the default vBulletin color scheme.
http://pberge.com/files
Enter user: jp pass:css when prompted, then download the jp.css file.
Probably the easiest way to figure out what styles need to be changed for specific areas of the page is to use the firebug firefox extension. For anyone that doesn't want to be bothered to install it, there is a great web based utility that will also work in Opera (and IE, but IE has no way of changing styles that I know of, so ).
And bookmark the link that says "bookmark this link..."
Come back to JP's and go to the bookmark you just created. Now hover your mouse over what you want to change and a nice little informational box will pop up on your screen telling you exactly what you need to know.
For example, if I hover over the Reply to Thread header bar I can see it has a class of .tcat. Find that section in the stylesheet and make your changes.
Note: All styles must have !important added in order to override the default styles.
P.S. I spend way too much time developing websites.
Mark - Bear with us for a day...when we finish the rest it will look better...it's half way done now.
You guys are a fun group...passionate to say the least.
We are also going to be adding on many more people soon including some experts in sports specific training that have committed to helping bring some more great people and knowledge to the site.
Just know we are working hard to make a great site even better.
I hope you guys don't mind me posting about how to change the color scheme back. I don't want to step on toes here. It's just something fun for me and I wanted to share with the people that really feel the need to get their old colors back.
If anyone is interested, I also uploaded a very stripped down stylesheet that is great for browsing at work. It removes avatars and gets rid of most of the colors. (it also removes some functional things, like the create new post button, so be aware before trying it)
Even though the colour scheme might be better for the contrast, the grey indeed isn't very upbeat and turns me off.
Was searching frantically for the button to change the colours but gave up on it.. so apparently there's still a bit more patience needed
Don, I'll switch stylesheets back later today and over the weekend to see how it's coming. I feel so much better now with the old soothing blue.

This color scheme is just like what they have at Mens Health. I feel regression with the scheme lol.

Yeah, but a little bitty avatar is different from the whole thing being that color.
It seems better now than it was this morning. I'll check again tomorrow, but in the meantime I'm sticking with jp.css from Paul.
