chappo2000 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 It's no big deal..... but does anyone else have trouble reading the greyish font color of the S4GRU.com's "unselected" section titles (The Forums, The Member Zone, etc) contrasted with they dark yellow background? I'm referring to the desktop site, of course. Who knows, I may need to spend next year's flex spending on glasses.... Edit: Also, the font color of "Started by: (User's name), (Date and Time)" as you're reading a forum post. Something about that color makes it hard for me to read. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that, I'm not sure what else could be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dave Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I use the desktop site exclusively and never noticed that. However, I do see where it can be hard to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've coped by highlighting the text to read it when I need to, but different colors would be better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the same thing I have to do on Tapatalk when people post in black or blue colors. Hard to read on that black background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I believe this was brought up quite a while back but nothing ever came out of it. I do agree that its hard to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I believe this was brought up quite a while back but nothing ever came out of it. I do agree that its hard to read. The section headings had been black before the IP.Board overhaul. I pointed out the visibility issue, but I do not believe that Robert was able to fix it.

S4GRU Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I was not able to fix it. I will need to use IP Board's Premium services to get them to change it. We have access to the code, but when I look at it, I get scared to touch it. It's not HTML. It's CSS, and it's like 50 files that are all stacked and embedded into each other. It is way above my skill set. This has been on my to do list for a long time. But it does not take priority over content. Also on that to do list is to move The Wall to the first tab, as it used to be in the beginning of S4GRU. Also to expand The Wall to be the first 10 articles, not the first two.

The Dave Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Perhaps we need to reach out to see if there is a member who has the CSS background to edit the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Perhaps we need to reach out to see if there is a member who has the CSS background to edit the code.

bakedc4 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Ah the good old days of Web design. I'd always be the last to finish but have the best looking and working site in class. I even built mine for Firefox and chrome while everyone else just went with the bare minimum of IE. Good times.
