Errol But it doesn't change how the forum page looks at all. All that does is remove the Firefox toolbar at the top. Using ctrl and the scroll wheel helps with the text but is annoying to have to do each time and still doesn't change the brightness issue. The forum skin does have some issues. The text is too small, the whole thing is too white, I dislike the blue cloudy background and then it merges into bright white. I have reasonably good eyes and even I was finding it too much. See the screenshots in my first post and you'll notice the forum page looks different. BUT I do like phpBB, the format that it uses.

I had better than marginal sanity at last check and I use Chrome and Firefox. They both continue to niggle me so I use Explorer 98% of the time and I'm no fan of Billy Goats.

Re: Change forum look with FireFox plugin When you design websites you realise how terrible IE is. It is very poor at adhering to web standards.

The kids and I all use Firefox, but she won't be swayed.

Re: Change forum look with FireFox plugin Hi Brett
I think I did what you suggested, installed Greasemonkey and the link too the forum, but it didn't change anything. What have I done or haven't done.
