cebosound created the topic: site suggestion
Lately I have been using more of my 23" monitor and it naturally is very bright. It has led me to feel like the white background is a little bright on the eyes after a while. I know I could turn my monitors brightness down, or not be on the website as much

I hope you understand that I think the site is great. Obviously, since I am on it all the time.

Thank you,
cebosound

I can only suggest that you take a break every now and then, rest your eyes for a few minutes and then I am sure everything will be okay.

I have taken on board what you have suggested guys. However, wouldn't you agree that if you are suffering from eye strain then maybe you are sitting in front of the computer for too long? Black writing on a white background is very easy to see in all different types of light. Changing the background color could possibly make it difficult for some people to read the right thing. Think about it, nearly all books have white pages with black writing.

Well thanks for listening anyway...

I was mainly speaking about the forum background.Are you talking about the forum on the website, or both? .
I agree the black background (or any very dark background) would be too much and make it difficult to read. Considering your color scheme for the site, probably more of an off white or greyish color would help from making the screen seem too bright.
It really isn't about me staring at the screen too long. Its usually more noticable when I first go to the forum from other sites, because I find myself adjusting my brightness on my monitor while viewing this forum.
Again, I love the forum. I think you have done an amazing job with the site Penn. It may be just more of a personal preference. Thanks for taking my thought into consideration.

I have been wondering this for a couple weeks, so I think I will finally ask...
Is the white background on the site toned down a little bit, or have my eyes been playing tricks on me?
