Hi Mobo, Hi everybody,

Trystan has been experimenting with the way links are shown on RootsChat.

We had some feedback recently that colour-blind members couldn't recognise the links, as links.

As the aim of the site is to be accessible for everyone, or at the very least, for as many as possible,  Trystan decided to try out some different schemes and wait for your feedback....

Bob

ps:
Mobo, I hope you don't mind, but too may capitals make my eyes go squiffy, so I changed your heading to lower-case  :)  :)

Just to say that I don't like the underlining either.  Purely personal preference.
Godden in East Sussex, mainly Hastings area.
Richards in Lea, Gloucestershire, then London.
Williamson in Leith, Vickers in Nottingham.
Webb in Bildeston and Colchester.
Wesbroom in Kirby le Soken.
Ellington in Harwich.
Park, Palmer, Segar and Peartree in Kersey.

Personnaly, I think there is too much underlining - and it makes some bits difficult to read.

How about underlining the Topic link but have a label for the board and a small button to take you there?

I'd suggest another column for the board, but I'm not sure that would work too well at lower resolutions.

You really need a bit more whitespace between the various bits of text in the subject column to make it more readable, if you can.

No - I don't mind at all Bob !!

Because I wear varifocals, I personaly find capitals easier to read and pick out when scrolling down Rootschats Boards, so that's why I always type my headings this way.

It's terrible when you're getting older   ??? ???
