Is there any chance we could get the pastel yellow background back, like we had with the old software? The brilliant white we have now is hard on my eyes. 
2nd that. I’d prefer something less cold.
I’m very reluctant to make any suggestions because I’m so grateful to Bob for his work on this website, but I have been dealing with the fact that for me the website’s overall brilliant white is difficult for me to look at for long. A return to he warm light yellow/orange in the forums would be most welcome.
While I suggested the faint yellow some time ago, my eyes actually got used to the clean white.
I need a color change too. Would it be possible to have a user setting for different color schemes in our profiles? (spell checker not working?)
