Love these forums: you say potat toes I say potaa toes. I like the more traditional black on white type as it is easier for old man eyes to read. Same with the new layout. Possibly they can make it more comfortable with some kind of window screening down the sides. I am sure PG is open to logical, affordable revisions. DennisD

Just so we're clear, though.
I've got nothing against the white background.
Text color coding is not working and I think Dark Blue (Navy) on white is also very easy to read.
And I've been typing in Dark Blue text since Al Gore invented the Internet.

The text color formatting should be working now.

Please let us know if it's still not displaying properly in your browser.

Thanks,

Not a big deal,but I find the text in the subject list, for example, "Active Topics" is a bit thin and hard to read. Also, the color difference between a thread with new posts and one with posts already read is hard to discern.

Should be able to adjust this a bit, maybe a different font or font size, maybe a bold text. Take a look.

Thanks,
Daisy

Nope. Sorry. Browser (at work): IE 7.0.5730.

Inside your quote, I see the color coding, but all text is black.

I try to approach new things with an open mind but I cannot find anything I like about the appearance of this new forum. It is extremely difficult to read!

Is there a way that the colours, contrast, size of print, etc can be changed to suit one's individual requirements? The present choices of Default, Bare Bones and PG Forum do not greatly change anything.

I cannot believe this is a standard presentation for a UBB forum.

Moreover, the contrast in this posting box is just hopeless! I am fast concluding that it is all too difficult to bother.

On the other hand, I suppose I did have two cataract operations at the beginning of the year. Maybe fora are for the young? Sorry, but this is all too difficult.

Well, we're halfway there.
I can see the colors now fine with Firefox at home.
But can't seem to post in color.
None of the codes I've tried have worked.

Tried color:#000080 (which is what I used to use).

Also tried:

color:navy
color: darkblue
color:"navy"
color:"darkblue"

Nothing.

This should now be fixed for all browsers. It is not a retroactive fix, so it will only apply to posts that are created after this point. As before, let us know if it's not working on your browser.

color:navy
color:#000080

Thanks,
Will

Thanks Will! We can see the light at the end of the tunnel ... and it's Navy Blue!

But, see the problem? Other codes override the color.

Uh oh! Should be fixed now.

Hopefully that's the last of the glitches! But I'm sure you'll let us know if you find anything else

That's the last of the font color glitches, but I still can't tell what I've read during a session and what I haven't read. When I connect to the forum, I see the yellow folders indicated messages that are new since the last time I visited. Then each one would tick off back to white after I read the message. I could always tell which ones I haven't read by looking for the yellow. Now, as soon as I read one message, as soon as I go back to the list of messages, they all turn white right away. This needs to be fixed The blue/purple coloring of the subject line doesn't help, because that just tells me whether I've clicked on that link before, not whether I've read the most recent replies. It used to work fine, now it just drives me crazy. It's acting as if I closed the browser and then re-opened it (where all used to turn white before). It should keep track of read/unread at least during the currrent browsing session.

Please fix!

Yes, and I am re-posting the note a recently posted, since there was no response.

John,

Thanks, we're currently looking into this issue. Font issues are relatively easy to fix but the issues you describe require a bit more in-depth examination. Thanks for your patience.

Daisy,

If you find the font difficult to read, I'd recommend enlarging your browser's text size / zoom level (the most common shortcut for doing so is Ctrl+ for zoom in). I'll look into the color difference issue that you describe.

Thanks,
Will
