Unreadable!

[John Farley]

I don't know whose idea this new color scheme was, but it does not work! The red print against the dark gray background is pretty much unreadable. Please reconsider!

I personally like the darker color-style. But if you go here you can select what you like best:

Every time I try that it logs me out and won't let me log in, saying I need to accept cookies. But I do accept cookies. The site was better before this so-called "improvement."

OK, I finally seem to have solved it, but way too much trouble.

I have to agree with John on this. The red on the dark gray background is difficult to read. I changed the settings to the light style, and this is far better. As a suggestion, if you want the dark style, change the dark gray to black, please.

Choose the light theme and be done with it.

I like it, though the red can be hard to read. I have noticed that if you "mouse over" the red parts, they get much brighter and MUCH easier to read. I have always liked dark themes, and have used a couple techniques to darken bright pages for a long time.

I thought it was just me (I thought it was unfriendly for us colorblind folk). I did try to switch to the light theme but have not yet been successful.

Look in the lower left corner and switch from ST Dark to ST Light.

The site needs a redirect set up: http://stormtrack.org/foo -> https://stormtrack.org/foo. Any existing links to http are breaking in the way you describe.

YOU ARE MY HERO! I couldn't figure out why my shortcut to the newest posts was making me log in daily. Fixed

This has been corrected as of about an hour ago. Thanks for the heads up @James Hammett - and sweet profile pic!

Whats odd is it worked fine for me, thats why I posted the link .lol.
(though depending on which computer I use, there's also a link in the very bottom left corner in some cases)

--------------
That red could be brightened (or changed to something else - cyan for example looks really nice in place of it on this page) by editing the CSS files here if the Mods/Admins have access to doing so
