Dear BEEB,

I've found a bug on the Scrum V message boards that makes the post content text hard to read for who are hard of seeing, so can you fix it please.

The file "mbscrumv.css" contains two incorrectly formatted class styles.

Below is the text from my postings on the Scrum V message boards under the title "Accessibility", that is a workaround to the problem.

For those of you having trouble reading the light grey text on a white background, here's my fix to the BEEB fix that went wrong.

Look in your temporary internet folder for a file called:

mbscrumv.css

Search for the following two strings in the above file:

postContentOne { color:#666666; }

postContentTwo { color:#666666; }

This is the BEEB attempt to make the text colour dark grey.

Modify these strings to read (the full stops are very important):

.postContentOne { color:#666666; }

.postContentTwo { color:#666666; }

Or to make the text black:

.postContentOne { color:#000000; }

.postContentTwo { color:#000000; }

Save the modified file to a permanent folder on your hard drive.

Now you need to tell IE to use this new and improved version of the cascading style sheet. In IE go to:

Menu bar > Tools > Internet Options... > General Tab > Accessibility button:

Check Formatting: Ignore colors...

Check User Style Sheet: Format using my style sheet.

Browse for the modified file mbscrumv.css that you saved in a permanent folder above.

Click Ok a few times.

Tidy.

END QUOTE.


Thanks in advance.
