Easier To Read : New Forum Theme

[90GTVert]

I was contacted about potentially making it easier to read the forums for people that need larger text and higher contrast. There is now a theme called "Easier To Read". It's not the most attractive theme IMO, but if larger text and higher contrast would help you; consider checking that out.

Profile > Edit Profile > Settings > Theme
Then choose "Easier To Read"

Thanks from an OLD guy! It works well. I hope some of you other old duffers on here give it a try. My old eyes can use all the help they can get.

I keep meaning to try to get down to my city hall and make a suggestion to use those reflective stick on flaps they use on some highways to stick on medians and curbs to make them easier to see at night. That would help with driving on streets at night and in nasty weather. Sticking them to curbs etc might keep them from being torn loose by traffic and snow plows. Older drivers need more contrast at night especially with those brighter headlights they use now. Maybe I could enlist my eye doctor to explain some of those eye changes. If I can get my city to make some improvements the idea might spread to other cities.

Where I used to live. They spent thousands of pounds removing the cats eyes from the centre of the roads. Mainly on winding roads with no clear edge to them. In bad weather it was hard to make out where you were on the road. Especially in heavy rain, with lots of standing water.
All in the name of slowing people down. What a joke.

The reflectors don't work well in the lanes themselves. They take too much damage from traffic and snowplows etc. I just wish they would pot them on the curbs and medians up out of the traffic and let us judge the traffic lanes ourselves.

Tried the new feature but prefer black background with the white writing myself.
