I'm a moderator on another forum on another service.

That particular service changed their format this week. They changed the layout to something really annoying, plastered with blinking advertisements
(owww!). The advertisements I can ignore mostly.

It's the BRIGHT white background and the light blue text that they insist on using that's driving me mad.

I've been talking to a person that's in contact with their "design team". I've asked several times if they can do something about the background and the text...not just for me, since there are several other people in my forum that have vision problems or seizure disorders that feel that the new format is affecting them badly. (one girl emailed me and said she felt a seizure coming on because of the colors and the occasional blinking ad)

The response I've gotten from the person in contact with the design team has been less than helpful. I dont expect them to change the colors...even tho it seems that their biggest complaint is the color choices they've made.

It's a free service, so they can basically do whatever the heck they want to, but you would hope that they'd at least be sympathetic to people with vision problems. I doubt pulling an American's with Disabilities card on them would help me at all. My eyes hurt, and that forum's new format has screwed up my eyes that I'm even having problems typing this message out.

I'm just annoyed that they dont seem to care that people with vision problems are going to have difficulties with their new set up.
