Title: Recommendations to Assist with Colour Blindness and Ease of Reading
Post by: von Lucky on March 24, 2018, 11:03:47 PM

Colour blindness
Apologies if this has been covered - I've rarely been on the site the last few weeks. Happy that the move went well though.

I'm colourblind and I have trouble with reading users names on the dark green to the left of posts (like in this post). I didn't have this problem on the old version of the site.

Can we personally change colours or can that combination be tweaked to assist those of us that are colour blind? There's guides online that can assist with this.

I also ran a search to ensure that this hadn't been asked already and the highlight of my search term (where it uses a different colour in bold) is impossible for me to read. I don't think all colour matches have occured from the old to new site.

Horizontal line between topics
Is it also possible to add a horizontal line between topics? Not sure what the old site did, but my eye jumps between topic titles on the "Show unread posts since last visit." page and it makes it harder to read/enjoy the site.

Thanks in advance to the mods.

Agree with all you wrote and hope the forum gets tweaked a bit as it’s now hard work enjoying the site.

Any update on this?

If you use the mouse to block off the name it appears in blue on a white background (at least it does for me).

I suspect (hope!) that this was just missed. Might be worth sending a PM to one of the mods or nick to highlight this. As getting the colour of the names changed should be a very simple change to make.

The horizontal lines might be a bit harder.

Any updated on the colour blind issue? I just think the colours need to be tweaked ever so slightly. There's guides online that allow tell you if the combination of colours "works" (e.g. https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/).
