A Style Change Request

[woodsroad]

The new forum is worth it's weight in sandalwood oil, if for nothing other than being able to add hyperlinks.
However, the color of those hyperlinks make them difficult to read. Can they be changed to the standard blue color, or something else that will read better against the brown/orange background?

'Speriemnt to see about links an page stuff.

LINK to photo test page.

No amount of fussing could get the above words to turn blue. A much better color for links, methinks.

I am just testing the color link test link


nevermind

I think the new website is great as woodsroad says but the color of links could be improved. The color chart listed here would not work for this.

I'll have to agree on the contrast.

The ol' eyes ain't what they used to be.

test test test test

Yes, words can be color changed, but not the text that becomes a link for an embedded URL.

Deep blue, with underlining would work really well.

I like the hyperlink text color - I'm all for surprises

Please, more contrast. I'm sure I not the only person of severly limited vision who has difficulty with the color scheme. And, I'm sure those of us old folk would agree, despite 20/20 and color discerning abilities, that more contrast is easier on the eyes.
Thanks for all your hard work on this site Kevin.

woods: It's not always about you! This time, sad to write, you are abso -f****ing-lutely correct.

I'll definitely join this chorus...that light orange lettering is just awful.

 

[paulfg]

[olkofri]

+1 on this.

And +++++1 on the larger avatars.

 

[timelord]

+1 for improved contrast or changing the colour.

Triple Amen to all of that, Dino, every bit! I personally don't mind or care about he links as long as they're visible. The thing that makes it hardest for me is the light yellow on white in the Categories, Site Sponsors, Recent Posts, etc. Reeeally difficult for these old eyes.

Warren, I did think that I was the only one with this problem, but now that I see that I'm not unique, I withdraw my complaint!

 

[balkisobrains]

Having a "Night Mode" would be even better.

You're welcome.

We now have large avatars too.

The concepts of these two changes are simple.

The process of doing it, not so much, but it's done.
