Pheloxi - have you looked at this page? A691058
It allows you to set up a button in your IE toolbar to swap the skin of a page.
Any use?

Hi Pheloxi*
People are politely pointing out to you that this is not a bug. A bug is a defect in the code or routine of a program.
You've explained your difficulty and made a feature request in the Design Feedback area, which is indeed the right place to discuss readability. Thanks for making those comments!
We've taken note of your concerns about the readability of the site from the standpoint of a visually impaired user, and we've relayed them to the web design team at the BBC. We do listen to our community, but we just can't solve all problems immediately.
If you'd like to add any *new* points to the comments that you've already made in the original conversation in the Design Feedback area at
F47998?thread=165088 please add them there; we're happy to come along and discuss them with you.

Jim welcome back
I reacted on that already and was ignored again!
I said that I should not some kind of "gagdet" to read pages it should be build in the pages.
to editors:
I have over 4 years of internet experience and next to it I have feeling for design.
anticipate with human brain and prevent things from happening.

Can I just say...
Many thanks to Jim and to everyone on his team for putting so much hard work and effort into getting DNA 1.01 up and running.
Jim's amazing; he only came out of hospital on Monday following his major operation, and he's back on site already. He's working from home of course, running the technical team from bed. Or at least you're supposed to be in bed, aren't you Jim?
Thanks Jim.

*starts to agree with what he's heard about Editors and unsubscribing*
Not trying to incite revolt or anything...

It's after 7pm on a very long day. Can we just drop it? It's raining negative posts at the moment and I haven't got an umbrella.

I still think its unfair that frames users are being abandoned - and if a tag doesn’t work with part of the site it is a bug in my book

*silently*
And that 'Make it GOO!' thing is pretty cool Jim. Just needed a bit of modification to suit my (Alabaster) needs. It can go with my auto-poster in my links bar...

It's really useful - I've now got four of them for various different skin-changing purposes.

*does some multiplication for a while*
Really? How do you get four? From what I can see:
Alabaster --> Goo
Goo --> Alabaster
