About the man pages, the top part with menus should not even be there, it is not realy useful and take a lot of space.
I also find this. Not all of us have perfect eyesight.

There’s a dark theme if you go to My Stuff -> My Preferences.

My eyesight is fine. It’s the light-gray on baby-blue color theme that is the problem.
Actually I think it’s more of a Periwinkle, or maybe a cross of Periwinkle and Chineese blue.
Say, the dark theme is pretty slick.
I prefrred the old forums’s theme hehe
I miss the orange crush too… <sniff>
For a few hours each day, I am unable to post to the forum, because I get this message:
UBB Error
The host from which you are accessing the board is not recognized as a valid host. This is more than likely related to a firewall issue that is blocking the referer variable. Check your firewall settings and try again.

Disabling my firewall had no effect. I just have to wait a few hours, and then it starts working again.
I had this message spuriously too.
But do have it each time I use my second PC, which is behind a NAT (basic windows internet sharing). No idea how to fix it however. Is there any way to relax a bot this constraint ? Or is it in place for a good reason ? Any clues about how to fix it on our side ?
Hello,
We do not implement any firewall that would block you from accessing the forums. We do have our set firewalls and a brute force trigger that will block your IP address if you attempt excessive logins with the wrong credentials. This will usually only trigger if you are using a script to attempt brute force access to our services though.
Be sure that you are posting from http://www.opengl.org/ and not http://opengl.org/ . I had this problem once too.

That fixed it. The webmaster should look into this. Not everyone will possess my patience and/or desperation.
Thanks Leadwerks and Hexcat. I have put a redirect in for those that sit on just opengl.org and not http://www.opengl.org. For the forums only. Hopefully this will prevent further issues with this.
Little update on the stylesheet for the opengl forums. The old original ocre style sheet is once again available. The light blue theme has been updated to be more contrasty, and a new style called frosty has been added.
As usual, let me know what you think of it all.
I really like the new stylesheets! It looks really nice.
I like the new frosty style… 
I think I’m partial to old frosty too, but they’re all nice!
