Hey Gary,

To be honest, I didn't even realize it was a problem. I've been using Firefox for the last couple years and the buttons were all black on gray. There were only a couple places in the admin panels were there were still orange on gray buttons - and I was just ignoring those.
Yesterday, one of our users complained to me about the readability of the buttons, so I did some experimenting and found that ALL the buttons looked bad in IE. Huh! (Possibly other browsers too, I didn't check).
So I went through our forum templates (based on phpBB subsilver) and figured out the problem (very very confused use of css!)
Glad it's better now for you guys now. But I'm sticking with Firefox!
