Hi, I am grannythenewstoner from across the pond, i was invited here by two mates.
Can I complain? The site seems alright, but dang, the background and light text is a true horror to navigate.
Can you mods please at least darken the text? It's truly not user friendly, especially older people. Thanks.
Best regards,
granny who's struggling to see

I'm sorry to hear that our current text and design aren't meeting your accessibility needs. While the text is technically black, I understand it may not appear dark or readable enough for you.


Unfortunately, we’re a small platform and don’t have the resources to offer individually customized accessibility settings. I truly wish we could do more, but we're not at the scale of larger companies like Facebook that have dedicated accessibility teams.

What I can recommend is trying a browser or extension designed with accessibility in mind. Many of these tools allow you to adjust text size, font, contrast, and background color to better suit your needs.

I know this isn't a perfect solution, and I’m sorry we don’t have more built-in options at this time. I really appreciate your understanding

Hi thanks for acknowledging my complaint. In site settings it can be adjusted. I know this, I owned a large public platform for over a decade. All aspects of the face of the forum and its contents can be adjusted. I tried browser thing, no can do. It doesn't work, oh well c'est la vie

I’m always open to accommodating when possible, especially regarding accessibility — which is why browser options are available. I recommend finding one that suits your current needs. However, restructuring my entire forum to suit one person wouldn’t be fair to the other 1.2 million accounts who use it as-is.


I’ve been active on this platform since 2008, so comparisons around public presence here feel unnecessary
