Personally, I *DISLIKE* themes where the font "pops" off the screen... I tend to like muted greys (I did a greyscale version of the curve theme for one of my sites)   but that is personal choice.

So, saying "All theme designers" is a bit presumptuous. :)     I'd say, rather...  "Hey you theme designers, please make some themes which work well for vision-impaired type users"

Sure. But these are usability issues, something which every webdsign, be it page or forum, should take into account.

Kindred:
well, the prev and next.... sure.... however, the request on colors and fonts is a preference issue. :)

My most sincere apologies. Truly my intention was not to be presumptuous at all. As you might have guessed, English is not my first language. (I had to turn to the dictionary even to find out the meaning of 'presumptuous'.) My only excusei is that the subject of the message didn't sound so bad in my native language.

Kindred:
no worries...   (see the smiley face)

you write English very well.

Ehm, I was actually thinking that links that are not visible are a bigger issue than whether prev/next buttons are there. :D After all, links are fundamental, the buttons are specific to forums. A webpage would not have these normally.

There is a tendency today to minimise links by color, and "push forward" others(by lessening contrast on the others), resulting in grey-upon-grey links/text. A bad practice actually, because typography can be so much more. I am guilty of this too.
