Please Darken the scroll bar on the right

You know that little scrolly thing on the right that goes up and down as you scroll down the page? Its too light now.......can you darken it a bit? Just make it that darker orange. Just an idea.

Also, I personally get annoyed by the fact that you have to scroll the horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen to read all of peoples posts. I'm not trying to say I don't like the site, the new layout is absolutely amazing. Thats the only thing I don't particularly care for.

I agree, I can barely even see it. The quote color is kinda blah to but who am I to judge. The site looks amazing anyways, I love it even more now, especially the frontpage, it is awesome.

What resolution are you running? I definitely don't have to do this.

800x600, I thought that was the so-called "standard" for viewing web pages.

one thing i dont like (very minor) is that theres no outline to the quote box. not a big deal, just personal opinion.

There is an outline, but its the same color as the scroll bars, so you can barely see it.

I'm looking into darkening the quote box outline, because it bugs me too. I use Mozilla, so I don't even see the effect on the scroll bars.

Big Speen, you're having the scrolling issue in the forums correct, and not on the main site? 8x6 is a bit small these days, but phpBB should be filling the screen, not over-extending it.

i have to scroll sideways on every post too, 800x600, cant go any bigger cause the monitor is too small

Couldn't agree more....it's driving me crazy! I didn't have this problem before the new layout.

i'm not having a problem with having to scroll to see the posts....

NM... I was in 1024X768 resolution..when i switched to 800x600 i had to scroll....

Okay guys, we'll look into it shortly. Sorry about the oversight.

No problem man, I don't think any site can be perfect. It's such a miniscule thing that it doesn't even compare to the sweetness of the site overall.

jpittman, I too have to scroll to the side in the forum's. I have a 21" monitor running 800x600 resolution. Do I need to change the resolution? I would prefer to keep it as it is as the old eyes are failing in my older age

....but the scrolling thing is kind of bothersome.

Not trying to complain, but if there is an easy solution I'd like to know about it.

Also, I do agree the scroll bars (side and bottom) do need to be a tad darker.
