Chris, on my system the color does change when I look at a post. I use Firefox as my browser.
As far as this hub is concerned, it's actually worked out better than I expected. There was definitely a need for this. It's always hard to start something from scratch, I'm glad you stuck it out.
But now I'm starting to feel sorry for the bashers. Perhaps they could get their own hub. They could call it "Fighting with Pigs" lol.
