Hmm - I never see the banner as my link/shortcut is to the new posts list :-) I had to go back and look at the board index to see it.

Green with red writing - not sure that is friendly to those with colour blindness or follows international guidelines for those with poor sight.

https://www.w3.org/WAI/perspective-videos/contrast/ may help :-)

Arghh!!!!
Yes, I too never go there, using new posts all of the time. I agree the colour combination isn't good.I'm blue/green deficient, being unable to distinguish the two in all but glaring light. The much more common red/green issue would have issues.

Last time I saw something that colour I’d just had my tonsils out. :D

I liked the crimson lake suggestion - at least we could discuss whether it was the right shade or not. (That should get PP started. ;) )

First time I’ve seen the banner. Always go straight to new posts as well. I think it does what it sets out to do. Nice one Brian.

I like the black with yellow text - but I'm not colour deficient.
