Can I change viewing format?

Sorry if there is an obvious solution -- I have diffucuty reading the black on brown text -- The home page is all but unreadableto me. Is there a way to change this ?

I, too have difficulty reading dark letters on a lighter background.

For my own sake (across the internet generally), I use the mouse cursor to highlight the areas I intend to read. Turns everything into a nice, easy-on-the-eyes white text on blue background.

Other than that, though, there really isn't a lot of customization available. At least as far as I know. Someone else may chime in with a fix, but I don't know it.

I was sort of afraid of that when I did not find anything in the CP - some forums have a few different viewing skins? available --
I would like to be active here but it just takes too much effort to see.

I'll see if we can come up with a high-contrast style choice. It'll probably be this weekend before I can work on it, so hang in there.

Gunboat, can you read black text on a white background?

SM -- thanks for your pm -- yes that works - I can read this box fine - the strip above "quick reply" is difficult as is "tags". the "none" is ok -
Thank you for helping -- I am not giving up, i rather like it here. :-)
