First post and a question

Hi everyone!
Been reading ATS for a long time, but never posted before.
I like this board (community?) because it's a bit more mature than other conspiracy/alternative news forums.
Not everyone is on the whole "Oh no tptb are behind everything" bandwagon, and not nearly as many "The world is ending in 2 days" threads as everywhere else
Also people are able to discuss issues without being at each others throats (more or less lol)


Now for the question:
I like the colour scheme on here, but it hurts my eyes. Is there any way to change the background colour or am I s.o.l.?

There used to be, because ive used it myself, you could turn the site from black to white, but it doesnt seem to be there anymore, maybe a more experienced ATSer will pipe in.
Maybe it was too much like GLP.

Thanks for the reply.
I hope so, otherwise my poor eyes.

Ahem. Excuse me...

"... a bit more mature than other conspiracy/alternative news forums..."

Thank you for the compliment

... people are able to discuss issues without being at each others throats...

There is an amazing bit of irony here because, as this is your first post and the thread is somewhat regulated by the mods to assure a level of decency, you're really gonna miss the hammer locks, head-holds and drop-kicks.

I prefer as much black as is allowable. The rest is secondary as it doesn't really cause the same problem as does direct sunlight on what passes for skin...

Bwahhhh ha ha ha!

(Just kidding. )

I melt under a 60watt bulb and a bucket of fresh water.
