    Brian,
    Have you tried this? It makes a big difference. http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/228722/enough-of-this-malarky-forum-fix-for-firefox/p1

    I did and I appreciate the efforts of those who suggest the color inversion but it didn't work for me. I uninstalled Greasemonkey pretty much right away. The previous format was never difficult on my eyes. I can't remember how it was different, I just know it was never a problem. The light blue and lack of boxes around posts have a lot to do with making this new layout unappealing. I just kind of dash in here and back out again. It's just not comfortable to read either this way or with the inverted color via Greasemonkey.

    Are you using Firefox? If Greasemonkey installed no problem, the 2nd link should have worked, no problem.

    I can only take 15 minutes being before I have leave. I gather this white layoff may coincide with the flash of a Lightening Bolt. That maybe cool concept for the powers that be but BRUTAL on the eyes.

    True, I tend to like the the layout of TheRushForum very easy on the eyes.

    Only the quotes are in white, hell even the quotes here in off white....just way too much white.

    Yes, I'm using Firefox. I did the down loads and switch back and forth between the two options. White is blinding, black was worse for me. The most sensible solution would be to eliminate the surrounding white with a softer grey, place a box around the posts (like the one you see while typing before hitting Post Comment") and change out the bright blue for something easier on the eyes. I don't know much about web design but I'd be willing to bet there are at least 5000 techies out there who could make these changes without an trouble.

    I hope someone out there with a little pull is reading all this.

    Dear 10C,

    We're not happy with this new design. Please make it better. Thanks.

    The only positive thing that happened since this new layout came out was now I have a photo on here.

    It's also a bit more "user friendly" but the color makes me want to pull out my eyeballs...

    I think that anyone who uses the most recent fix at that malarky thread and still isn't okay with it might just be suffering from stubbornness or something at this point.... the fix is just fine - there are 3 view options now, and they are all perfectly acceptable. No, it shouldn't be necessary. But since it is, I think the options that Mike D88 has given us are completely satisfying, and he responds to issues and requests and tries to make changes to answer them, soooo.......

    can you use the fix when on your phone? Android specifically. It won't work for me.

    This is fucking aweful. For real.

    Like PJ_Soul says above, MikeD'd script is the way to go. It's made this site very friendly again! Are there really people here who only have phones and no computer? That's not a criticism, it's just that the idea of that surprises me. It must be kind of a bummer to only be able to view the internet on a tiny phone screen.

    I have a computer, I just usually find myself on the PJ board when I'm somewhere and bored so jump on my phone.
