tonyishuk Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Am the only one having trouble reading some of the forum members messages because they are printed in light blue / grey print. There seems no way I can adjust the contrast on my laptop screen to make some postings readable. Maybe its just me poor old eyes *-) (Coupled with an equally old laptop) Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon B Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 No it's not clever is it? Software developer is obviously under 16 has no appreciation of his/her customer needs. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spospe Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I agree with tonyishuk, please can we have plain black on white text? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solwaybuggier Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Or in the case of some posters (not saying who!) how about white on white? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshortcircuit Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Followed the election results on the tele last week with the small band on the bottom of the screen showing the party positions. White letters on yellow background for one party. Unreadable and non-adjustable??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Ahhh! I did not realise it was grey in Rich text format by default - thanks for mentioning Derek. So what the software chappies nead to do is change the default. What I do not understand is the difference in size beteeen 12 point fonts and 14 point fonts - it is a massive difference in size. 10 point font size12 point font size14 point font size18 point font size.Now this looks correct in size ratios in the edit box, but when I post appears very much smaller for 12 point.

Brian Kirby Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 So, I have now said no to rich text, and seem to have now lost the ability to change font, or font size or colour. The question is, will this come out black on white? Testing, testing! Looks fine in the preview, so how will it look when submitted. The bonus is, I get to see all those fun little emoticons as well! :-S So, is this better, Chaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hoo ra, my eyes are quite good and I was getting fed up with posts in grey text . Well done Brian, Jon & Derek lets hope others follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I thought the font for some (eg Brian and Derek) was grey due to them being old codgers, unlike us sweet young things who are still in the black!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
