    Is it just me?

    Does anyone else have trouble reading posts with some of the font colors on here? I have a lot of trouble seeing the light orangish and light pinkish ones. I even made my font larger but that doesn't work. Unfortunately I have stopped reading them because it is just too hard. Some are truly worse than others for me. Just give me *good old black.* Am I the only one with this problem?

    Nope! It's not just you. They really hurt my eyes.

    I usually like to change font colors in my picture threads, but those are usually use navy, teal, or indigo.

    Sometimes if the color is hurting my eyes too much, I will "highlight" the post and it make it a bit easier to read.

    I'm with you, Pam.

    I've had problems with the light colors for a long time!
    Easiest solution for me is just not read them. I know I'm passing up posts that people want me to read, but it's too difficult. Second choice is to highlight the words, that makes a blue background with white letters.

    The best choice would be the posts to be typed in black or other SOLID colors - the tints are too difficult to read.

    Glad to see Kay's reply - I thought maybe it was "older" eyes that had the problem.

    That's what I do. Some of the lighter colors seem to hurt my eyes. A little bit here and there doesn't bother me, but an entire post done in yellow or light orange or something is hard to read. Highlighting them seems to be the only way I can read them sometimes, or sometimes I will just skip those posts. The darker colors don't bother me though.

    Pam, I can't read the pinkish or bright coloured posts either, so I just skip them altogether.

    Thanks everybody! I really thought my eyes were going downhill. I never thought of highlighting. Great idea Kay!

    Some people might use a light color for one word like when someone says their cat is an orangie. A word here or there in a light color is fine. A whole paragraph though is just too hard for me to read.

    Sandragonfly, your post is not as hard to read as the other colors but I like more contrast. Maybe making your post in Bold might make it a little easier on the eyes.

    I never thought about highlighting!! DUH!! It works perfectly.

    I also have trouble reading some of the texts and colors - now I know what to do, if I want to read them

    Yes, the light colored fonts are hard for me to read too. I don't read them for the most part. When I do put in a colored word, I also bold it or enlarge the font to make it easier to read.

    The all-centered text is hard to read too and when it's centered and light, well, forget it!

    I am with you RedHedd... Light AND centered is very hard so I skip that and the ones that are to light also. My eyes give me enough trouble as it is so I aviod any strain I can.

    how about this one? I use this in PMs. I love the slate blue/perwinkle I use since, then realized it matched pet talk's color perfectly.

    thank you for answering, I'd need to save bold for my emphasized words.. I'm willing to change the color but guess you don't read my posts anyway.

    The slate blue is nice.

    And yes, I have trouble with the light pinks, golds and oranges.
