Thread Name: O.S.. Do me a favour folks?
Subject: RE: O.S.. Do me a favour folks?
Clinton, it's a nice site. The problem with some combinations of colors is that when the designer looks for a good contrast very frequently overlooks that many users, like me, in order to avoid visual strain, set their monitors to a much lower intensity, and then some labels are almost lost (like the red label for an already visited link). Try dimming your monitor to something between 50-60% of the maximum (ideal for this black-on white text) and you'll see the problem. My complaint is for the XXX link: I entered, of course, (how could I resist the curiosity, especially for that incredible combination of the words FUN and XXX ?) and got a sermon, admonizing me to leave my parent's basement (what I've done a long time ago), eat healthy food (what I will never do), limit my hours at the CRT (what my wife could not obtain) and finally thrown out of the page. Hey! It's YOU who is writing those obscene labels! :))) Un abrazo - Andrés
