Not all of us were born with good vision.  I wish some of you guys understood how hard it is for some of us to see.  Without my glasses on my vision is 20/800.  I was born with cataracts and can't play AH for very long at one sitting.  I like you Waffle but I think you take you vision for granted.

Yeah, some of us have had the vision rapidly deteriorate as the internet has proliferated and more po...etry has become available online.

They should have it where you can choose between skins one being a darker one with prolly white text so bad eyes can see.

thats a thought.

Set it up like Yahoo or Exite for example where you can choose your own color scheme

There's an entire 'paragraph' of icon. You don't need 20/20 to see that. You can also increase it to 'billboard' proportion.

That's why 'night' is so popular with some. It blocks everything out but the icon...

Look at all the whining about the gages in AH2.
