Actually,
having said I did.nt like it,
when going up and down the topics,
 the ones I have already looked at are no longer underlined -

 saves time - quite a good idea really  :D

Hi Margaret,

I can assure you, that "THEY" are not bored, in fact "THEY" are swamped with work
and would love to be able to leave well alone.

These changes came about because between us we have all sorts of vision, ranging from perfect to impaired (colour blindness, short sightedness, etc), and "THEY" want to to set up RootsChat so that as many people as possible can use it.

I think "THEY" is doing a great job !

... and, to be honest , any impairment of RootsChat means that I am forced to leave it for a while, and  finally find time to do things like ironing .
So maybe it's not such a bad thing !   ;D  (but only now and then, till the ironing's done !)

Hiya all,

Thanks for all your feedback. The undelining trial is now complete.

In case you were wondering, I hated the underlining, but we were trying to gauge people's reaction.

We are trying different methods to making the site more accessible to people with vision problems, especially
colour blindness (click here to see link). Colour blindness affects 1 in 12 men, and 1 in 200 women.

Unfortunately it seems that in helping one group of people it is then adversely affecting another group.

If you are colour blind, then we would really appreciate it if you could get in touch with us. You can either contact any of the moderators that you usually deal with, or myself.

Thanks,
Trystan
