Bear with me. This is my first 'modification' to the forum code that I tried to even resonably release. Its not really a full mod such as a quick list of things to change. Does that count? :)
After fooling around with configuring my forum's color I came to the conclusion that for my intents and purposes the color controls assigned to the word "Sticky:" in the forums and the Quick Reply box were bad for me.
The color for Sticky and the colors for the fonts in the quick reply box are both right now at the default colors of the whole site. Where as the background for each are forum colors. What you end up having is a three state collision.
For the site colors you have A on B for the forums you have C on D but for the word sticky and the quick reply you have A on D.
Finding color combinations that match this is hell. (I tried)
So I went in and manually 'fixed' them to something that made more sense to me. I made the color of Sticky the strForumFontColor and I made the colors of the text for the quick reply the ForumFont settings. Notably strForumFontColor for the text and a spnMessageText around the whole deal for the links. (Trying to match protocol with the other ways spnMessageText was used in the code)
Was this a 'bug' in the layout that is fixed in .1? It seems kind of illogical to me.
Anyway, here are the changes I made. To make the word sticky match your forum color:
In forum.asp around 528 change " <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>"
