De-emphasizing quoted text in forum threads in Forum Feature Requests

FireFox (overriding your theme setting locally)

Thus, I didn't know that OZO had posted the fix until he IMed me tonite.

For the record anyone using Fx or SeaMonkey needs to first shut down the browser. Then navigate to their Profile, go to the Chrome folder, create a usercontent.css file if you don't already have one and then use notepad to copy the file Ozo has provided. If you use the third file, the result is to make the forum pages look just like before. Wonderful! :)

FWIW OZO also PMed me about overriding theme visuals. And since I also use FireFox, I was looking for a solution to translate his IE instructions info something that works in FireFox. And my "solution" was a little different than yours.

What I did was look around for FireFox info on CSS, and I found/installed the "Stylish" ( »https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 ) FireFox extension. I then used Stylish to install the *.css settings (that OZO helped me with) for the domain "dslreports.com". By using the Stylish extension, I can control which pages (in this case all pages from the dslreports.com domain) get the CSS changes, instead of applying the CSS changes to all web pages period (like your approach does).

Now, that said, I really wish DSLR would make these theme color decisions user configurable, so we don't have to write our own CSS changes to our browsers (which is more of a PITA than it really should be) to override color settings that cause eye strain.

Obviously Justin likes the color/theme changes. However, it's also clear that those changes hurt the eyes of some of us. And that really shouldn't be much of a surprise for those of us who have studied ergonomics, as yellow is a "hot color" that draws the eyes attention to it. As such, it is uncomfortable to some people (myself included) to have yellow as a "background color" (in this case, the background color of quoted text), as that yellow "background" can draw the eyes attention to it (causing extra eye strain)...

Mele20 : I don't use the default theme. I use the Canadian theme and I don't want to use any other theme. I love the Canadian theme. The only other one I really like is the default theme.

The Canadian theme produces this very difficult to read yellow background with gray font. I was miserable here until OZO IMed me with the fix. Asking me to take a photo of a forum page with the new, hard to read quotes and post it wouldn't prove to Justin the problem that I have (because it is my eyes that have the problem not his) so I didn't see the point in what seemed to be a useless exercise and I stopped reading this thread. Thus, I didn't know that OZO had posted the fix until he IMed me tonite.

For the record anyone using Fx or SeaMonkey needs to first shut down the browser. Then navigate to their Profile, go to the Chrome folder, create a usercontent.css file if you don't already have one and then use notepad to copy the file Ozo has provided. If you use the third file, the result is to make the forum pages look just like before. Wonderful! :)

I just wonder why Justin couldn't have provided this tip for us who have been suffering from this change. Is it only default and Canadian theme users who had this change forced on them? You say that after a day or so you no longer saw the change? Maybe Justin just figured that those of us using the default and Canadian themes who were really bothered by this problem should just use another theme? Why are only these two themes affected by this change? I thought the change was for all themes. I didn't try any other themes because the only two I love are default and Canadian and they are both really affected. I'm really grateful to Ozo for the help as now I can read here again without difficulty and keep my beloved Canadian theme or use the default theme again if I tire someday of the Canadian theme.

Thanks, Giz.
I don't use the default theme, so I guess that's why I don't see it. I sure saw it when it was first implemented, though, and I haven't changed themes.
But probably a minor coding change somewhere changed that.

Potential drawback of this simple approach - if some web page on the Internet contains element with the class "bquote" your settings may overwrite it. But I have yet to see such a page :)

Actually there is a good way to reduce the probability of such event to very low level. It's using long selectors (e.g. "body center center table table table div.bquote").

Check this thread for more options: Tuning default BBR theme. Thread is about increasing contrast of links (making them darker) within default theme, but the approach may be useful for simple tweaking of other themes as well.

A lot of forums allow the user to select font color, but I doubt that would fly here either, then there would be complaints about "I don't like the font color Joe Blow is using, make him stop!!". :uhh:

As I said before, I use a dark theme, font color is white, so I don't have this issue....just another reason why I like the dark ones better.

Emphasizing quoted text in forum threads

Mon, 28 May 2007 17:53:15 EDT

OZO : Ok, guys. If there is no any help with increasing contrast of the blockquote text (making it black instead of gray) - here is a simple solution for those who is using IE7 (I'm sure all other contemporary browsers support it too).

Solution - use your local CSS.

BBR.css

BBC - My Web My Way - Windows - Using your own style sheets in Internet Explorer

Now, if you want to make text black (not gray, "#3F3F3F;") - BBR.css file may contain:

.bquote {
  color:      black !important;
}

In case you want background to be white (not yellow) as well BBR.css file may contain:

.bquote {
  color:      black !important;
  background: white !important;
}

And, finally, if you miss side borders - use this file:

.bquote {
  color:      black !important;
  background: white !important;
  border-style: dotted !important;
}

Potential drawback of this simple approach - if some web page on the Internet contains element with the class "bquote" your settings may overwrite it. But I have yet to see such a page :)

One more thing. If you change BBR.css file you have to close and reopen all instances of IE before the change will take effect.

And clearly Justin would agree with you, as he seems to believe that these theme changes are "a good thing".

But it is an issue for some of us. I can personally feel the extra eye strain, due to the yellow background (with gray text) used by the new quotes. If I could find a theme that was close to "default", that didn't have this quoting "feature", I would switch in a minute!

How's this for a compromise? Can we make this configurable for the user? That way, those of us who's eyesight is bothered by the new quoting system, can turn it back to the way the quotes used to work.

IMHO the easiest way to accomplish this, would simply be to provide some more options for "themes". For example, have both a "default" theme and a "default old-quotes" theme (repeat for the other themes). Doing things that way, would not require any coding changes, as the "themes" approach should likely already take care of this.

Alternatively, the code could be modified to allow several visual factors (such as how things are quoted) to be controllable by user settings (overriding the theme). This approach would avoid having a lot of "closely related" themes, but it would (unlike the theme approach) require some code changes to the forum software.

But either way, using color schemes that bother people's eyes (or are unreadable on some monitors) is a problem, if there is no way to turn that off. And so if this is going to be a change to the forums, could we please have some way to turn off this new "feature"?

La Luna : I don't have the problem using a darker theme, but I would agree (just going by the screenshots posted) that maybe a darker text color (or maybe a tad larger) would be good. It does look a little *blah* on the lighter themes, which is why I use a dark one. For some reason, white text on a dark background pops better for me, it's always been my preferred color scheme whenever possible.

Re: De-emphasizing quoted text in forum threads

Mele20 : I have my monitor properly calibrated.

My monitor, which was ranked in tests both by PCWorld and Consumer Reports in the summer of 2003, as the best flat panel LCD 19" monitor available and that sold for almost $800 then fails almost all those tests at that link you gave. But I think that is not the monitor. It is probably my eyesight. I'm facing cataract surgery at $5000 for Crystalens implants this summer. In the contrast test there, I could only make out the one just above (only half of it) and the bottom line only. I couldn't see any above that.

I have enough difficulty using the internet without DSLreports making it even more difficult. The text on the yellow is NOT BLACK. It is GRAY. This produces significant reduced visibility on an LCD that already doesn't do black color like a CRT does. I probably should never have gotten an LCD. I had never used one before I bought mine. There are no computer stores to go into and try monitors (now Office Max has them on display but there was nowhere in 2003 for me to try LCD flat panel monitors). So, I did a lot of reading and bought the best one. I couldn't get a 19" Trinitron CRT as Sony had stopped making them and a 20" was too heavy plus would not fit on my desk. So, I really had no choice (as I did not want any CRT other than a larger Trinitron than the 17" I had) than to buy an LCD. I got the best one. It was given raves here in various threads.

It is my aging eyes that are mostly the problem (coupled with the black color problem on all LCDs). I am surprised to read that Justin doesn't seem to care about problems that boomers and older folks are having now with their eyes aging but I don't think that is actually true. I think it is more that because his eyes are great that he can't understand what many of us struggle with when using computers and the internet rather than that he understands but doesn't care. I can't see why we can't be given a toggle switch and those that want this (who have young, great eyes) can use it and those of us who already struggle to read on our monitors don't have to endure this added burden.

The pale yellow background (garish, vivid yellow on my Trinitron) on the LCD is not just for the default theme. It is what I see using the Canadian theme. I don't want to change themes and the only other theme I really like is the default one which also has this pale yellow with gray font according to Justin.

The problem is two fold: aging eyes and LCD monitors which cannot display black as black. This inability to display black as black on LCDs is the reason that most reviews for TVs these days recommend Plasma over LCD because Plasma, like the old tube TVs and CRT monitors, can display black as black but the LCDs cannot as TVs or computer monitors. So, there already is a problem with contrast and black never being black on LCDs and when you introduce that yellow background it makes the black font (which isn't really black anyhow) look even less black so it appears dark gray and consequently is even harder to read. These problems are probably not apparent to young, healthy eyes but they sure are to older eyes especially when presbyopia (which is the beginning stage of what eventually becomes cataracts that have to be removed) sets in after 40.

Is this a possible solution? Have all posts in the forums have the gray background ...don't alternate with white like currently. I can read this dark gray text on light yellow (on the Canadian Theme) without much difficulty when the post has the gray background. It is the posts with white background and the pale yellow with dark gray text that is so hard to read.

ShootToThril : the main problem with the new format is that most people have their monitors set very high on contrast settings, with new LCD monitors getting brighter and brighter some of the people on DSLR who don't calibrate their monitor will find it extremely hard to read or get the true colors used.

I suggest that people first calibrate their monitor's Contrast, Brightness & Gamma and then check see if it still a problem.

Why to create a problem when it's easy avoidable?

You don't need to borrow anything. If people post about it here - it means they have noticed it and it bothers them.

Is there any valuable reason to push reduced contrast on them? Let us know.

We all have different vision, different monitors. Mine, e.g. has 133 DPI and you know what it means. It's not a fun to read smaller then normal font with reduced contrast. Personally, I do not have problem with yellowish background (I guess you need it if you want to get rid from side borders), but it's noticeably worse for me to see a gray (color: #3F3F3F;) text on it and not a plain black one.

Re: De-emphasizing quoted text in forum threads

Mele20 : This change to yellow, makes the quote almost unreadable on my LCD as it makes the contrast (which is already badly lacking on an LCD) almost nil. Contrarily, it is garishly bright on my CRT monitor and makes my eyes water and sting.

Are you saying my problem is due to my using the Canadian Theme with Firefox and SeaMonkey? Are you saying I have to change the theme I love and have used for close to SIX YEARS to something else just to get rid of that yellow? That doesn't seem right. I love the Canadian theme. Isn't there some other option to just turn off that yellow? If not then what is similar to the Canadian theme with Red (I love red) but won't have that yellow that I can't read? Why was it changed anyway? I had no trouble reading the forums before (other than the ordinary problems caused by all LCDs and my CRT was fabulous here until now with the garishly over bright yellow).

From the comments here, I gather the color depends not only on the dslr theme used but also on the type of monitor used and the particular video card? I have a ATI card on the computer that uses the CRT monitor with the very garish bright yellow. I have a nVidia card on the computer using the LCD monitor with the pale yellow and practically no contrast.

I see no difference in the color based on which browser is used (IE and Opera are the same as Fx and SeaMonkey). The difference is due to the type of monitor and the video card. So, for some this is probably a very nice change but for others it is very bad. Could we have a way to just turn it off so I could keep my Canadian theme? And those who find it useful can enjoy it.
