Grid lines.

The grid lines for posts have been adjusted, correct? It definitely looks a lot better now!

Can the grid lines every where else be adjusted as well? The board index, sub forums, View X Posts, and PM center all have very faint grid lines. And if I'm not mistaken, the grid lines for PMs are more faint than anywhere else. So faint they're almost nonexistent on my main monitor at work. I would love to see all the grid lines on the new skin be as visible as the ones for posts.

edit: Oh, and quote boxes are very faint as well. The actual box, I mean. They're so faint I didn't even realize there was a box until just now. I feel like readability would go up if they were darkened too. It's not too bad when there's just one quote (although I would still prefer a more well defined box) but once there's a quote within a quote it starts to become a mess. Take the following post for example: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 0#p1107970

The division lines and such have been darkened enough. If you're still having a hard time seeing them, you need to adjust your monitor. Sounds like your brightness and/or contrast are set too high and washing everything out. I've tested on multiple devices that are calibrated properly and things look good.

Yes, it all looks better now that I'm at home on my main monitor. At work, the grid line darkness levels seemed to be inconsistent throughout the forum, but now that I'm on a better monitor they appear to match. When viewing forums, the grid lines divide white on white. But when viewing posts, the grid lines divide grey (or whatever color that is) against white. So that is giving me the illusion that they are fainter when viewing forums and darker when viewing posts. If that makes sense.

I was giving that feedback knowing that my work monitor isn't the best (I pointed that out in my first post about it). Consider it real world testing, some people have shitty monitors. My work monitor is calibrated just fine, but if I change my horizontal viewing angle just a few degrees it turns to shit. The grid lines dividing white on white just disappear.

Not that I'm suggesting the grid lines be darkened if they're already consistent throughout. I just thought they were inconsistent, is all.

Are the icons for emailing and private messaging someone reversed?

The user title card for a post, there's an @ symbol to PM them, and if they entered an address there's an envelope to email them. Shouldn't those icons be reversed?

I think they are -- good catch!

A small but thing I noticed.
I keep scrolling past the "Save, Preview and Submit" buttons. Maybe make the button the same blue as the header so they stand out.

I agree. The "Post a reply" button is blue. I feel like the "Save, Preview and Submit" buttons should be the same color.

I've used glossy for five years, and I can't make the change. Looks nice, but as a mobile user having everything in easy to read plain text is so nice. Honestly, this is my favourite forum theme I have ever had.
