Yeah, all the drop-down menus (Forums, Members, Search, Conversations, etc.) have a very light gray font color over a white background. Quite difficult to see and looks very different than the example on your "New Feature: Classifieds Search By State!" post with the light font over black background. Is there a setting to adjust this perhaps?
Some of this seems to be browser related. I've been trying out some off-the wall browsers lately and have experienced this same problem with Avant v.2014 build 2. Yet the site looks much better and more legible, especially the drop-down menus, when viewed on Torch v. 29.0.0.6292 (6292) or IE9. If things are looking a bit wonky to you and you report it here, it might help if you also posted what browser you're using and possibly what version it is. And you might try using a different browser and seeing if you get better results.
I have the issue with not being able to see the font on flags at top also and I am a young guy. I believe I have IE8.
Its quite straightforward......... On FireFox...... Click on tools -> Click on Options -> Fonts and Colors -> Click on colors -> Uncheck Allow pages to choose their own colors -> Click OK -> Click OK. Now reload the page. On IE...... http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/79503-internet-explorer-change-colors-used-webpages.html Go down to point 7 and follow their instructions. Enjoy.......
There is one other solution. You can just click the flag and the screen will appear below with all the choices on the left side of the screen as you scroll down. That will leave all the separations intact and not mess with the look of the page.
