Note, it's too difficult to read - seeming to be a ghost. However, I don't really know how to make it darker.

I would say the colour of the text for the posts is a bit light yet, but not too light that i cant read the text but if it was my forum, i would just have the text normal black. Just black with go with your forum theme colours also.

I totally agree but it's a pain figuring out how to do that. Anyway, I made a support ticket with the theme maker.

There is the Requests and the Support on this forum that can be used to get help figuring out how to change the text colour in the code. I dont know how to do it, but im sure other members here will and could help you.

Self-promotion, in and of itself, is not providing a link to ask for advice. You're all good

I don't mind it, to be honest. I can read it.

The font is up to 16 px now - but still gray. Should the font be changed to black?

It looks better with the post text made a bit bigger.

Maybe at least a bit darker grey, if not back, but to me when i look at it, its looks a bit faded, like the opposite of Bold (if thats makes sense lol)

Working on that - if only I knew how to control the color, not just the size. I did finally figure out where on the stylesheet was the size for the homepage and posts, respectively.

I just done a quick search on the net there so some instruction, these are some posts / articles you should read..

I haven't got access to a MyBB forum to test out the instructions for my self before i recommend them to you, but they seem pretty good and you can decide wither to try them out.

From what i read, it seems to be in the global.css stylesheet and search for the code table / section referred to in those posts on those threads i linked you too. Remember to back your forum site up before doing any changes, then you can always change back to where you started.

I figured out the problem. The size and color is fixed in the post_body area of the global .css of TheGoSeries

I figured out the problem.

Awesome! :D Good to here. :D I had a look and in my opinion, it looks much better with the darker text in the posts.
