Can I change text color?
Hello Mods. I'm color weak/blind and the blue text on light background is really hard to read. Not enough contrast to tell the difference. I couldn't find a way on the control panel to change this. I there a way I can make the text black or a dark color?
Thanks, Bill |

I assume you mean the blue text that is a link since most of the text, as in the text used in the body of a post is black. Link text such as forum names, thread titles, etc. are blue.
At the bottom left of any screen is a set of "skin" selections. The default has always been "TFL Classic" with its blue links. Select "vBulletin 2 Default" instead. That seems to have a dark reddish looking link color (rust?) although I see some links are still blue. See if that helps the situation. |

Mal H. Thanks for the response. Yes it's the message title before opening the message. I tried the skins earlier but my choices are only vbulletin 3, vbulletin 3 variable fonts and low profile (unsuppodrted. Maybe my brower is the cause.

I didn't realize you couldn't see the "vBulletin 2 default" choice. See if it is there now.

Update: In Internet Explorer, Edge, and an old (outdated) version of Firefox I also see options for vBulletin 2 and TFL default skins. Not there in Waterfox.
BUT ... those old skins are under a heading that carries the warning "May not work." I didn't try them.

It should be there for all browsers. I may have turned it on after you looked for it with Waterfox (I've never heard of that one).

Yep. It's there now.
I switched to Waterfox because several updates ago Firefox changed the underlying code, and that killed most of the add-ons I use and rely on. Waterfox is now actually two forks from Firefox -- Waterfox has one version that largely tracks with Firefox (both based on Mozilla), and a "Waterfox Classic" version that's apparently based on the old code and still runs my add-ons.
