Just a quick comment.  In your list of bugs, the red rows are very difficult to read.  It`s uncomfortable to the eye to make viewers look at a list with such an extreme contrast in colors.

CampSteve, i had the same thing in mind when i looked at the site. Would you suggest any colors that might go with the overall background?  Thnx again for your input

I think it would be useful to be able to click on the title of (a) the categories you have listed so you can browse them, and (b) the bug title in the list of recent bugs. Also make the "View" option white or bold, or something that makes it stand out better. It is currently difficult to find with the small black font.

Also I would take your e-mail address off the site - it is an invitation to spammers. If you can make that a "Contact Us" form field from a clickable "Contact Us" link, I think you will save yourself some headaches down the road with SPAM.

Small point - you have a typo on the registration page - "minimun" should be "minimum".

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I see you`re already playing with colors.  :)  I think the red and gray with white text is still difficult on the eyes.  You`ve got a lot of contrasting colors.  Take a look at the "top contributors" part of your homepage.  See how the low-contrast, pale background colors make it easy to read while still breaking up the lines?  You need to do something like that on your main bug list.

Campsteve i did follow your advice but for some reason i think these colors do not really go with the over all RED and BLCK theme. What do you think?

Well, I think it`s A LOT easier to read and understand.  And I like the color scheme overall.  Whether they are the exact colors you use, is up to you.  But this approach solved the readability problem.  If people have a hard time reading your site, it doesn`t matter how cool certain colors look together.

This is minor... but i noticed that when i click on a tab ... say "Login" for example. The Login page is rendered (Login.php) but the "Home" tab still has the selected style. This behavior is the same for all tabs.

elbie thnx a lot for this input that was a good catch... I`ll have that fixed very soon
