I think it would far more feasible for the people doing the board to change the color than for everyone else to change thier computer settings. Of course, that's just my opinion. I don't want to have to fiddle with the color of all my pages every time I come on. THis color hurts my eyes, so I won't be spending as much time on here as before. I think if enough people have this problem, then the person in charge of maintaining the board just MIGHT want to rethink this background color. Our time is better spent quilting, sewing, etc....not adjusting our computers.
