Anyone else have this problem with the forum?

I love the new design, but the light grey print in some areas is causing tremendous eyestrain for me....I get migraines easily and am really hoping I dont need to quit the forum

Oh no. I have good eyesight so this isn't a problem for me, but I hope Greg chimes in with a solution!

Yeah, it does seem very light on my monitor, too. But I know that my color is off on many things, so I am wondering if I can just adjust the color on my monitor. List it in the feedback thread and see what Greg says.

If you're on "Latest Posts", it's the first thread, started by Greg at the very top. New YLF Feedback or something like that.

biscuitsmom, can you be more specific about the places that this is a problem? I try to make the important text dark and the less important text lighter so that it isn't distracting.

But I may have underestimated the important of some information.

For me, it's the tabs at the top (Latest, Body Type, etc) that are the worst.

Thank you SO much for replying Greg! and Chewy! I agree the top line chewy mentioned is the hardest, but also the listing of who is online and well, actually all the light grey areas is very hard for me....I had DH try and adjust my moniter settings but it didnt really help. I understand why you want to darken the most important (and thats great) but my eyes still pick up the lettering thats light and that starts the eyestrain almost instantly..maybe you could try a little darker or another color- like the pink is perfectly easy to read..the green not so much.....I love this forum and it would kill me to quit.....

A few days ago I darkened the text in forum category tabs at the top of this page, and in the right hand sidebar (online now and blogs of YLF). I also increased the size slightly for the sidebar text.

I would be interested to know whether this improves matters.
