Fonts and shading

My first impressions on the look and feel of this site:
  • There is a lot of bold text, which looks too heavy. I'd suggest using that only where it's really needed.
  • The shaded boxes around post titles and other areas interfere with readability; these could be made lighter IMO.
Too much padding?

With the boxes, the resulting padding takes more space than text in some threads.
You have a point, thanks for the feedback :)

I'll work on fixing those issues sometime tomorrow morning :)
Well, tomorrow morning has come and gone…

But there isn't enough hours in a day! :) Will see what I can get done now..

I'm thinking about removing the boxes… but the main advantage of them being there is that even if someone uses level 1 headings in their post, it's still obvious where the beginning of the post is (even if the content text is larger than the text in the box headers)

True

Tomorrow morning always seems to come and go…
I've made the boxes a bit lighter

Any thoughts on further changes?

I've made the post titles a bit smaller than they were too, but they're still bold & italic. Should that change?

Alright…

Looking for your thoughts on the forum now, pieter? :) Has changed a lot since you last posted - not sure if you've had a chance to look since then.
