the only part that I find to be a bit on the annoying side is the reply box. So far only used the quick reply box... but the black text is straining.

the post color and text is ok. just something doesn't seem right about the font itself. Maybe the default font size needs to be a touch bigger? Just doesn't look right. I'm sure it is the same font set up as before. Maybe it just doesn't look right because of how "big and bubbly" everything else is in contrast.

EDIT: Yeah, that's what it is... Veranda was the old font. That makes a huge difference. The character spacing is better and the lines are more smooth versus the "block" style lines of the current default font
