1. It really is very bright. There's too much white, some of which could probably be changed to grey, and the blue is quite aggressive (maybe in itself, maybe just against the white).
2. It makes no sense that thread titles have the smallest font of everything on the "MyFlyerTalk" page. The positive effect is that they now always (or almost always) fit on a single line, but they get lost among everything else around them in larger fonts (thread starter, date started, reply / unsubscribe, 1 2 3 4 5 ... last page).
