Some of the links, titles and texts are now smaller and lighter making them harder to see and read. While at the same time some that were once smaller and hard to read are now bigger and easier to read.

Yes Arlene, both my husband and I noticed this as well. Very hard to read!

Phew!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who is affected by these latest "tweaks" to the Forum!
I was wondering if it was just me as I need glasses for reading, but this proves I am not alone.
I am getting tremendous eye-strain trying to read text on here. The black background seems to be even more
user-unfriendly than it was before, now that the new-style fonts have been inflicted upon us!
I'm with Arlene on this one, too - this is the only website that causes me problems trying to read anything!

On a previous post on here (12th Jan), Moderator "Matt" said (re. changes, etc.), that our input was still very valuable as they want this site to be the best possible for us all. Well then, Matt, could we possibly have something done about this latest modification, please, as I'm afraid it's causing problems for us. We just want something that is clearer and easier to read as it's no fun getting eye-strain trying to read our favourite Forum! Thanks!

My Baby Loves Me Just The Way That I Am!

I agree that the changes made to the colors are terrible! They are now worse than they were in the beginning. I have my screen brightness all the way up and it is very hard to read the topics as they are way to dark.

Hate to disappoint but I can't complain about the black background with white lettering being user-unfriendly, for me it is userfriendly because while I am viewing computer sites on a 24" screen off to my left, I am also viewing HD TV on a 100" view projector screen, so less white background helps me to keep computer pages up with less light affecting my projector. Plus I keep room overhead light off and have a keyboard with light coming through the letters so I can better type. I use Windows 7 at 125% or even 150% instead of normal 100% setting. I also use Windows 7 graphics personalization to turn all post into having a black background (as ground ctrl had at first)so that following post comments are not bright white background with black type. However, I usually have the lettering color set at yellow, not white. Also when a topic comment is unread, it appears in bright blue(no orange type) but once I read it, then the topic comment turns bright green (no orange) so there is no confusion weither or not I have read any newly added post. But just to complain, I still get a 'that thread no longer exist' every now and then.

PAULA, See above, my remedy for that. Actually, I am viewing all websites at 150% now and liking it, on my desktop screen, not on my laptop as I have it much closer to my eyes. On windows, in the lower right corner, you can adjust type font size viewing. I am loving the way I can change color combinations myself with Windows 7. Currently when someone post a link, it is in bright blue but after I view the link, then the color changes to bright green. Likewise, every members name is in bright blue but after I visit their 'About me with friend listed page' then their listing name is no longer blue but green, letting me know that I viewed for further info about that person.
