Nobody answering questions here?

This seems to have been deliberately ignored:

Can't read these scrunched up, pale blue screens at all.

Meddle,

I don't know what you're talking about. Can you take a screenshot? What browser are you using? Are you on a computer, phone, or tablet?

Try changing this [[see red highlight):

That's the point. The only two are both almost the same, light blue. There used to be a third option called 'VB4 Default' which was the base board with little or no styling and coloring; more of a basic black and white with a basic, readable font.

That's been removed in the last few days.

I was wondering myself what happened to that layout it was way better than the standard Dyes versions

I was always using the DYes one, so there was no apparent change for me. I don't mind the current format.

THANK YOU! I sent a PM to "admin" a few days ago and never received a reply either. I can do without the fluff and ads.

[Smirnoff]

No fluff w/Adblock.....

Ads help offset the cost of running the site. Donating $25 removes the ads for a year.

I don't know if I'm just blind, but there doesn't seem to be a thread search function anymore as well. That's a bit problematic when trying to update threads with new information unless there's just going be new threads every time new information comes out on a topic.

Doesn't do anything about the poor layout, bad formatting, unreadable fonts and puke blue though.

The basic default layout mentioned in the linked thread solves all of those issues.

There are two search links at the bottom of every page.
1-Search DetroitYES uses Google and does what gvidas describes, searches the chosen site only. There are also options to Search SoulfulDetroit and Search AtDetroit.net, where the old forum is parked.
2-Search Forums uses vBulletin's native search engine. Personally I don't think it is very good other than searching titles and I use the first option only.

But why?

Why make the board more difficult to read?

[Zacha341]

Yep, no ads with that option, and the blue works for me.

[Meddle]

Is anybody running this site?

Why hasn't this poor format been fixed?

[Meddle]

Still not fixed?

[gazhekwe]

Mine is readable. See if you can go to the bottom left, above the contact us field. There is a little field in the top border right next to Contact Us. It says Quick Style Chooser. I chose Dyes Right, and it seems to work fine for me.

[Zacha341]

Me too. Using Firefox on an old Macbook.

A novice monk joins a monastery.

The abbot tells him he must live a life of prayer and silence. At the end of each year he will be allowed to speak one word.

A year passes and the abbot asks him what his word for the year is.

"The", says the novice.

Another year passes and the abbot asks him for his word.

"Food", says the novice.

The third year passes and the abbot asks him for his word.

"Sucks", says the novice.

"What??" says the abbot, "You've been here three years now and all you have done is bitch."

But seriously though. When so few users have this problem, maybe it needs to be solved at the user's end?

This was sincerely intended as a helpful suggestion.

Where is the Search box in this mess?

This is one of the most poorly laid out boards I've ever seen.
