Default Does this annoy you?

I was just on another MS forum. There was a non-MSer asking questions about MS. I guess her husband has it.

She posted about 3 or 4 times, and every time she changed the colors of her text...didnt use the same color more than once.

The forum uses a white background, and she was using colors like bright yellow and light pink.

I had to highlight her text with my mouse to read her messages.

Does that irritate you? Especially in an MS forum??

I have to confess, when I was answering one of her questions, I did get a little snippy and asked her to at least use darker colors the next time she posts. (the post that she used the bright yellow on white...owww...I think my eyeballs imploded trying to read her message)

I'm waiting to get kvetched at about that. I posted once in that forum to another person to please use the return key occasionally and break up her text. I had to duck under an asbestos blanket to avoid the flames that came out of that person's response.

I guess some non-MSers dont realize that a lot of people with MS have vision problems. I might be able to see clearly now, and I can see colors, but I can no longer make my eyes be able to read yellow on a white background without my eyeballs wanting to roll away screaming.
