    Please can somebody on the List Mum circuit do something about the Grey writing on a grey background.
    When I try and post or read something like this comment, I find I am squeezing every last drop of sight from these tired old Arc eyes of mine.
    Surely this is an easy life saving fix?
    OR Is there something I can do at my end to solve this problem?
    I have asked before.
    Kindest
    Tony Covell.

    I thought it was just me :)
    I too find the grey text on grey background difficult to read and in sunlight, unreadable.
    Just to be specific, it is the editing the messages. Once posted, the text colour is OK to me.

    Maybe I'm missing something...the text editor is white/gray for me, the same as the posts.

    Go to your account settings (top right of this page), then choose "General Settings", all the way at the bottom under Misc. settings choose "Advanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing", then save your new squint-free settings
