Reply preview screen difficult to read--color change suggested.
There is not enough contrast in the reply preview screen. The colors of medium blue on light blue make for a low-contrast situation.

I suggest a darker color on a lighter background. If there is a need for the preview screen to be different from the final recorded reply, personally, I would usr black on white.

Trust me, when you get above 45 or 50 years old, you'll understand why.

Actually, I agree and have been wanting to bring this up but just hadn't gotten around to it.

I would like to see the preview post appear the same way that the actual post does.

I hope it's as simple as just having to change a color in the code!

If it is similar to Ultimate BBS which I licensed many years ago, it is as simple as choosing a radio button.

I'll third or fourth this or whatever it is. I would love to have it appear the same as the actual post.

I just mentioned this to Mike today. It's on his "to do" list but should be done soon.

It'd be nice to be able to read the pop-up name list when typing in a member name for a pm in the "Recipient Username(s)" text box...the color is so light you can't read the list in case you do want to click on it to have it put in as the recipient!

You're right, the pop-up is awful. I'll investigate and see if I can correct it easily.
