Is there any way to change the default colors of the board background?
The brown makes it very difficult to read anything.
I have to highlight all words to even read them.

Yes.
In the upper right corner, click 'My Profile', then from that page's left hand side, choose Edit Profile. Under the 'Forum Settings; section, you may choose a Theme.
Hope this helps!

It seems that no matter which theme I choose, the page background is always the same brown colour. This makes any of the board info text hard to read. (stuff like which board you're currently on and such)

Even just a plain old white background would be better!

Fagin's proposed solution above worked OK for me - I chose 'gray'. MsR/DWA

I'm having the same problem James described on my computer at work but, interestingly, not on my Droid.

Wait a second, I think that's that's someone else's tag line.

Perhaps it has to do with the browser? I'm using Firefox version 3.6.3

And mine looks great.

It's not the boards per-say, it's probably closer to the page background image, as it's the same color as is surrounding the 'isles' logo on the top of the page. (IE7 at work)

EDIT: It appears that it's limited to IE7, since Firefox works fine.

IE7 for me and I cannot get rid of that horrible brown background page color which makes it quite difficult to see which thread you are viewing as just one example.
The message area is much improved with Fagin's process...
