I haven't visited any of those sites, and I won't without further explanation.

Can you tell us what you're trying to say, or is this a new form of spam bot?

Thanks.

It does look suspicious.. eh?

Also, don't care much for the black background either. Too hard to read.
The lighter color backgrounds with black text seem to work a lot better.

I think the keyword "glide" may have brought whoever it is to our doorstep. :(

So how do you like this style? :lol:

Actually, this particular free speech forum was designed with "Mr. Free" in mind. I know that some other forum managers have been less than happy with some of your comments, so I wanted to specifically have a place on this forum where you could have considerable latitude for posts. So if there's a particular theme that you like, just let me know. I should be able to use most of those that you can check out here:

http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/

Just click where it says "Select style" in the upper right corner of that page to view them. If you find something you really like for the "Free Speech" zone, then let me know and I can try to install it. For some reason, not all of them work with this particular forum, but most seem to be OK. Also, as you're going through the list be aware that not all of them "scale" nicely when you resize your browser. This one, for example, doesn't scale at all, and that's a reason why I generally wouldn't pick it. But let me know what you like.

Thanks. :)

Wow ..... check out this style:

http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=1043

It's called "CA Orbital", and it's pretty cool how the transparent text panes scroll over the background. I know it's dark, but it's cool just the same.

OK, how about this style?

This is actually one of my favorites. The only problem is that it doesn't scale in width when you change the size of your browser window. If I could figure out how to fix that, then I might use it as the default since it's so clean looking otherwise.

Looks good to me.
My only problem is with very dark backgrounds.
