Why is the forum a really bright with the sky blue color? You guys should make it have the blue that's on the portal since this is too bright.

Which color are you refering too? Do you mean the white? What type of browser are you using?

more than likely thats your monitor settings. Espicially if your using an LCD or Plasma screen. The different manufactures set different standards and offer a huge adjustment area in the monitors menu setting. (at least most do).
I use 3 seperate monitors and all 3 show it as different colors-as with most all sites.

Just my 2cents- this usually applies to most folks, if your situation is different then I wouldnt know what to say.

For me its mostly a lightish pale blue color.

Damian is correct. It's a monitor calibration issue, not a CSS issue. The hex color stays the same, no matter what. But, if you have a room full of computers, chances are that the color will look different on most of them.

icon_biggrin.gif I believe PHANTOM is referring too Crazy-Coderz.net, not Codezwiz. I have viewed it from 3 different browsers and also see the blinding blue color. icon_eek.gif

I would just stay off that site if I where you. Its full of viruses and pirated software.

Not to mention all the content is also fake and just copied from other sites all over the internet.
