Feedback to naws on the forum

bb and coot,
thanks for those suggestions as both do help. i'll have to play some more with the coloring program, but what a difference that makes and enlarging the print on top of that is really easy on my eyes. if anybody else has similar suggestions i'd like to hear them as i'm not the only one who would like this i'm sure.

If you're looking at a TV or PC monitor and you're in a dark room it might be eye strain from the contrast. It feels like tunnel vision with a dark peripheral and high brightness in the center of one's field of view. I have been affected by this phenomenon and by adding some light behind the monitor the problem is greatly reduced.

i know it's been some time since you posted on the light contrast, but rest assured that was not my problem. it is a good suggestion for others that may be having the contrast problem though. this even applies to watching tv sometimes as a bit of background light can take some strain off of viewing it.

Saw the notice that NAWS has a Facebook page, but cannot for the life of me find a way to "Friend" NAWS. Am I doing something wrong or are you not accepting friend requests?

I checked the Facebook page this morning and found the same thing.

The only thing close was something like 'sign up'. When I clicked that and entered my email it told me I was already on the list.

Hmm...I'm not sure what the problem is. My guess is that Facebook is having some kind of problem. We've had our FB page for a couple of months now and we've got over 130 people on our friends list so far. I'm assuming that anyone trying to follow us on FB must have their own FB account. If not, that may be the problem. I also posted the FB link on our store's website at the top of the page: http://www.solar-electric.com/
Lets give it a few days to be sure the problem is not on FB's end. If it's still not working, we'll try sending you an invite to our FB page or something.

I have a Facebook account - visit it daily as my daughter uses it - an easy way to keep contact 7 time zones away.

Finally got the first NAWS post on my Facebook page this afternoon. Thanks!

I just saw a post from a new poster. Even though I can see his first post, the forum shows his posting total = 0. --vtMaps

I have to agree with Niel. Perhaps its my middle-aged eyes, but the overall brightness of the background is hard on my eyes. It's funny, that laptop computers use to have a manual brightness adjustment, wishing I had that when I visit here.

i have opened this thread for not only my comment to naws, but also anybody else that has comments, suggestions, ideas, etc.

anyway, i have to comment on the pure white background while trying to read the black print. the bright background is a bit of a strain on my eyes while trying to read. i don't really remember how you had it setup before, but i remember it wasn't this much of a strain. to read the many new posts every day is difficult enough and not just for me as a moderator as many members read all posts too.
