Can you leave the colors just as blue for links etc.? This new setup looks terrible imo..
If you had a hard time reading the stuff before sounds like you may need to change your contrast/color settings on your monitor...I agree that black on white sticks out better than blue on white, but the site is already a monochrome theme as it is. The blue links are just about all the color the site had, and when you remove that it makes everything very bland looking, and almost uninviting to an extent.Actually I like the look of the new color. It is easier to see. Better contrast.
