Why? It's a very light color so it won't distract you or disrupt the layout of the page.Jordan maybe you should make the copyright notice in the footer black or something easy to read. I have been at a forum with some of the same layouts as you.
They are both in blue...BTW, on a similiar subject: The "A special note" thing takes up three lines and is in all blue under the express reply. However, when making a post via the long way, it takes up four lines and is mostly in black. Inconsistencies are bad karma, ya know.
There won't be any need to do that until I redesign the site.Oh, and update it to 2002.
