The site upgrade has effectively rendered it a no go area for people with visual impairment issues, eg-colourblindness, problems with distinguishing contrast, etc. |

I have pale green lettering on a grey-green background with sludge and grey-green boxes. This is viewed on a Windows XP machine using IE6. I'm off to check it out on Firefox, maybe it will be legible in a different browser! |

I can't read these pages without great difficulty. |

The contrast is ever so slightly better defined in Firefox. All the capital Ns in my tree still look like two I s though. |

Mine is light green on a light greyish background with a lot of glary white surrounding. It is so glary it makes my eyes hurt. |

I have the same as you blue eyes and it really is quite pleasant and easily read, just the page jumps a bit now and again. |

I have only just come on here and found the changes which I don't like with everything over to one side, feel I have to move my chair now which is difficult with the desk we have. |

I too have varifocals and find it harder to concentrate when it is over to the right so much. Mine is grey green background and greenish print. |

Has GR changed the text and background colours in the last few hours? I have just swapped my computer monitor and am finding I can actually read the text on the GR site much better now. The text is now displaying as dark greeny black against a pale green background - subtle but much better contrast-wise. I suppose it might just be my new 2nd hand monitor! |

I think they have tweaked the colours and size of text. still feel lopsided reading though. |

It's the huge expanse of white on the left combined with the lopsided thread... The black on mid-gray is really causing me a lot of eye pain. |

What on earth is going on. Even on South Africa site I'm getting the flashing ads. I'm using Mozilla Firefox and the font size can't be made bigger as I've tried. I'm squinting as I'm writing this with my varifocals on too. |

I had to close down this morning as I couldn't stand it any more, trying to read the small pale green print hurt my eyes and gave me a headache. I have just come back on and they have changed it, printing is black and bigger now. |

I have just emailed support to say that I am going to have to let my membership lapse. The screen is triggering migraines for me. |

Thank you for the tip on making the text bigger,but the colours still cause eye strain and having it all over on the right is very annoying |
