Yes, some people do have a hard enough time reading the white on blue background, but when we started this we wanted to remain true to the original forum and that's the color scheme we had there. You might want to increase the font size that you're viewing. Just go to the "Flying A" in the upper right. You can increase or decrease the viewing font size there. That should help. No, it won't help poor spelling or bad grammar or the wide use of abbreviations that are prevalent on the Net, but that's part of life.
I'm probably the worlds worse speller, and thanks to my flunking English so many times (four semesters in my last two years), I wasn't allowed to graduate with my class in high school. Thank God that Firefox has put a spell checker in that works just about anywhere, including here. As for grammar, well, I write columns for two different newspapers, and no matter how hard I try, or how many times I check them and my wife proofreads them, the editors always seems to find some typo or a misused word. I wish they didn't. One saving grace for me is that I took touch typing in high school and in college. This was way back before there were computer keyboards. You might ask why, well, me and my buddy were the only two boys in the class, that's why...
