I'm working on an alternative colour scheme (which is not quite production ready), but I'll eventually give people the option to flick between, if they don't like the grey - testing here http://www.not606.com/misc/style?style_id=5
Yes Minxy, (this is another good reason for a FAQ thread, @Ron ) - I have got an advanced editor which allows the insertion of html and tables etc, plus being able to paste tables. I haven't enabled it by default because I don't want everyone getting creative with every post making the site look a mess - so if you let me know which users you want promoted I will give them rights individually. Alternatively - you can see if you can give them rights yourself (I think you have those privileges). In the user admin panel you need to tick this 'Advanced Editor' box as a secondary user group.
Also I haven't been ignoring your question about a moderator panel - I just don't know how to fix it yet
