I would just suggest that the lines that start to appear as you scroll down the web page, be removed. They make the text harder to read and honestly they hurt my head. What do you guys think? I personally think it'd be much less painful to read posts without those really small diagonal lines.

How did you notice that!!!!! I have to be like an inch away to see them. Looks like it fades from pure white to the lines. But yea pure white would get the job done

Hi, first of all congratulations for the webpage, its very clean and somehow similar to the game theme.

But i also suffer from the same problem, those lines affect the reading making harder to read.

Thanks in advance.

I noticed a few more people complaining about it and took some time to make the lines more subtle. If it's still an issue let me know! Thanks for the feedback.

Please just delete them or limit them to he very bottom of the page.
In the forum it's not that big of an issue, but on other pages (specially the calculator) you are using a grey font color which makes it very hard and uncomfortable to read.

a lot better, thanks!

I should have mentioned you may need to cache refresh haha. Before I changed it there was roughly a 7% difference between the gray and the white. I lowered the contrast by about 60%...

The reason why I wasn't seeing the problem was that my monitors are more or less calibrated for design using proper contrast and color settings. I noticed in the computer lab, with the monitors that students have "messed up" the settings on, the lines were significantly more visible.

The way I have it after the change maintains a particular effect I was going after without causing much interference with the text.

Like always, thanks for the feedback!

Could have guessed that, but since I just used the calculator the first time I didn't know you already changed that (like a minute before^^).

Form a webdevelopers point of view you did a great job here, I really like it!

ps: still, there are some very small issues (like the text in the search field not being centered vertically)

Haha, well since I was in the CSS anyway... went ahead and fixed that one too. Another minor design tweak off our list

Then add the too wide background which leads to side-scrolling to your list :D
(1440x900 is my resolution)

you don't see the scrollbar, but using the mouswheel click function to scroll enables side scrolling.
