That is a good point HD but I suspect it is the forum index that you view before entering one of the discussion topics? Once into a discussion the only black on green is in the quote box. IT would be useful if people raising issue could be more specific.

I use an ipad with ios10.2. Whatever system i use its not going to change my eyesight unfortunately!!!
huskydog the green on green is in the main forum section titles and then worst of all in each section, each topic. Hence the feeling i've gone blind in one eye. I have poor sight in my left eye which is normally ok on websites with dark print.

I would have thought that diversity should have been very near the top of the brief. Surely it's discriminatory not to have clear colour distinction. I have never done anything like this but do recall being given the general advice when producing advertising and flyers that it should be clear especially to those who may have colour recognition.
I have fairly good eyes but don't find the text easy to read, although not difficult, it just requires a good attention.
Desert Island Discs was interesting today, the prolific designer Sir Kenneth Grange now 87 who says he gets very irritated by poor design 😉 which he notices now.

I seem to manage OK although I also have poor sight in my left eye (corrected by specs) and virtually none in my right eye. I agree though that the colour differentiation between background and text could and should be improved.
When working I often did drawings etc for public consultations and also for sending out to the public in connection with highway schemes. I was acutely aware that some people - particularly older folk - have sight problems. When I used to send letters out to the public the standard letter text size was 12 point. As I typed my own letters I would ignore this and generally use 14 point. If using, say, 13.5 would permit a letter to fit on a single page rather than two or if editing text could produce the same results I would do so.
