Community Standards too hard to read

satchel · 05-03-2002, 11:22 AM

Steve - Can you fix the community standards page so that the text has a bit higher contrast relative to the background? People may be more likely to follow them if they can read all the way through without suffering eye fatigue.

I think dark color text on a light grey background would read a lot better than white text on a light grey background.

thanks.

This is hard to read?

Maybe it's my system, but the text appears white on the gray background when I look at it. The screen shot you've posted is perfect, just how it ought to be. Sorry to have bothered you, if it's just me...

The text is black - - that's the way it was coded.

No sweat Satch - does sound like it could be just your browser/monitor/PC?

Anyone else see the text as other than black?

Yep, it's my browser. It depends on which one I use. I should have checked the various possibilties before posting.

You've said before that Netscape chokes on the forum software, so I don't normally use Netscape for this site. But I think I must have forgotten and accidentally done so this morning.

Again, sorry to bother you before fully investigating...

Really, no sweat - maybe all this talk about the NDFCS will get some to actually read them!

Yeah, really I didn't have any trouble at all, I just wanted everyone to know that I had read them.

Netscape works fine for me.

The Community Standards are simple. Treat other people as they would want you to treat them.

The question of their readability made me go read them.
