A HUGE "THANK YOU!" to Eradicator84

So I hope this doesn't count as naming and shaming , because while I am naming this is far from shaming.

user Eradicator84 has made a new theme for firefox and chrome , the original info is in a post of theirs now buried and hidden by a thread merge.
It can be found here
http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=15156361&postcount=301

This new theme essentially fixes many of the issues raised for a lot of users with this "new" supposedly improved forum look.

I have just installed the Chrome version and it improves the experience here in the forums more than you can imagine.

So this thread is to say THANK YOU to Eradicator84 for giving us a fix to the headache, and eye strain inducing new look of the forums.

You're an Empire Veteran, so I say to you "Qapla'"

You rock, Dude.

-Peace

    Yes, a very big thank you. You essentially saved the forums for me. It would not have been possible to really continue to use this site as a social hub without those fixes, at least not for me personally.

    So a really big thank you. I encourage everyone who has trouble with the new fonts and color schemes to use this plugin. Just be careful not to be fooled by the ad at the bottom that says "download." Click the link on the right.

    If someone makes a style for them, it should, I'd imagine.

    It's better, but the white text is still there. And it sure is killer on the eyes.

    Erm, what was I missing?

    I've been trying out Chrome for the last 8 months, I haven't noticed any errors with this website, it looked identical on chrome and IE, so much so that IE is now gone. :)

    glad to see something is fixed though, thats always good :3

    Basically, if you have trouble with the fonts and style of the official forums, this plug in sort of changes it back to a style similar to 2013. It makes fonts a bit larger or at least shows more of a contrast between letters and backgrounds.

    Thanks Eradicator84. I'm usually not one to complain about changes, but I really don't know what they were thinking with parts of this redesign.

    -edit-

    Looks like the Chrome version of this isn't changing the background for anything but the main index.

    I'm generally not big on avoiding 'the way it's intended to be experienced' through modding(I don't even use keybind macros in STO :P), but I've definitely made an exception in this case. Thank you, Eradicator84. My eyeballs are most appreciative for the reduced strain.
