... Allowing people to express themselves is rarely a bad idea - and certainly not when you have such a great bunch of boardies as I do *Ahem* - good political move that - really hard to contradict! I'm not fanatical about it, and as said, the sigs are indeed 'telling' and decorative. Back to topic - the conclusion is that the alternating post colours could be skipped, so I recommend that. In addition, as I just see it here: That the quotes are of different color I find interesting. But it doesn't seem to work with the alternating color scheme.

Glance - I figured you'd like that ;D K - thanks Peter - one other thing a message board has to look is interesting. Best way to lure new boardies... I hope! ;D

Peter - one other thing a message board has to look is interesting. Best way to lure new boardies... I hope! ;D I don't care if a message board looks interesting as long as it's readable, user friendly and the subjects interest me. And I'm sure others will agree as well. The board opinion is divided and, personally, I find it the changing post color too 'pop sensational kewl' (at least with the existing colors). While some will appreciate and embrace this approach it'll also turn others away. And that's not really the point of a new layout.

I've seen awesome looking and very successful boards in gray designs; it's not necessarily depressing. It's neutral and gives some "cleanness" that all-color doesn't do as well.
Alternating very contrasted tones of the same color would just do worse than what we have here; the purpose of alternating very subtle tones of the same color is just to subtly split post sections apart from one another in a way that you might not even notice consciously. Functional thing.
The yellow-beige doesn't bother me; it's the background and alternating it with the teal and the rest that do. Without something to balance the rest the blue would become almost aggressing in itself.
IIRC there's a way to have signatures be displayed only once per page; would it be desirable?

I completely agree with that. I like the blue background (soothing), so I'd have to recommend colours that don't contrast with that. Killerzzz
