I got a copy of Dying Light and I am spending pretty much all my free time on it. I will still check the forum before going to bed as usual, and appear briefly at the chatbox to get the logs. If you want to contact me for any reason, a PM here or a Note over at dA should do the trick.
As you can probably see, depending on the settings of your monitor, this is nigh-illegible. I'm sick of seeing it, to be honest. >_< I think it'd be very helpful for everyone to be aware of how to deal with this issue themselves. And because I forgot that you could just highlight the text before I started writing this, I'm going to tell you all how. It's quite simple, really. After you click the "Quote" button at the bottom of one of Ilceren's posts, you'll be taken to a post composing screen with his post wrapped in (quote) tags. However, you might also notice that, in your post, his text will also be wrapped in (colour) tags. Simply remove these, being careful not to remove any part of the (quote) tags, and viola! - Ilceren wrote:

Now you, too, can quote Ilceren without causing people unnecessary frustration! ^_^ Happy Posting, Felaryans! | |

| Ooooh, I even have my own how-to over here! Heh, just kidding.
In any case, I'm sorry about the extra steps and all, but it's just that this forum's choice of colours is horrible. Just who mixes a dark background for normal posts with a light one for quotes? It's just dumb. That way, you're restricting font colours to one: the automatic one. It's the only colour that switches tone, a light one in normal posts and a dark one in quotes. All the other ones are just going to be hard to see in one of the two cases, normal post or quote, so... Yeah, sorry. | |

| XD This is why Charas got multiple boarder styles of the site layout. Personally I only see a need to change color in the chat box so I can be seen more easily. Plus I like the default layout of the forum. | |
