unfortunately i'm finding the use of green print very difficult to see.  Its so pale its quite a strain, i may have to give up.  Also on the old forum you could click on the last comment made under a topic, it doesn't appear to have that facility now.  It could be quite interesting with some topics going into many pages.

I completely agree, glad it's not just me!  The colours are too pale and very difficult to read, also the font is too small.

What sort of screen / device are you using. Is it possible to play about with the colours and increase the tone.?

Everybody can play about with font and colour and every other setting but why?

All other forums are set up correctly in the first place whereas we are now saddled with a 'The Kings Clothes' forum!

I'm using an ipad but the settings are good for other websites so i don't think i'll fiddle about just for this one.

It was probably designed by someone straight from Uni - with young eyes, and any of us who are over forty know that things get more difficult to read as we get older.  Perhaps we should type everything in bold!  There, isn't that better!

I agree that the new colours make it much harder on the eyes, especially for those of us who's eyesight isn't quite what it used to be. So far I am very unimpressed but should I really be surprised!

Also using an iPad, a fairly old 3 version. However, I am finding  the colours, size font etc fine and I am certainly not straight from uni with young eyes. I would assume as when a bit back they said Apple devices were one of the most used for accessing the site, it would be optimised for those. Just asked OH she is also happy with its visibility. Not checked on my windows PC yet, but I know on some sites colours need adjusting and even angle to the lap top screen can make a big difference.

Quite agree and yes Valda, much easier to see in boldsmile !

Given that the vast majority of CC members are on the top side of 30, easy to view and read should have been a priority, the font should be black in my view.

It's all about contrast to give clarity.  I shall try & remember to type in bold.

We will probably be told that using bold is akin to using CAPITALS and is considered shouting.   Seems quite sensible, actually, as those having these troubles with the lack of contrast would probably like to have the volume turned up a bit.
