No I don't mean my eyesight is fading, but what appears to be the trend as web sites are upgraded. I have noticed this over the last couple of years. RE.com is the latest and it gives me the *****.
I am guessing that this may have something to do with viewing web pages on smart phones, tablets etc. I do all my browsing on my laptop, which is usually connected to a descent size monitor on my desk.
I first noticed a couple of years ago on http://www.propertyobserver.com.au/ Looking at it just now as I have not been subscribed for a while it does not seem as bad as I remembered, but possibly because others are a lot worse now - or was it because they switched to pastel blue print?? I do remember the change and emailed Jonathan about it.
Then when Herron Todd White revamped their newsletters the same occurred there. At least they took on my suggestion (and possibly that of others) to make each section of Residential, Commercial and Rural a little easier to quickly distinguish by a different colour, but I did not have any real complaints about its format as I mentioned in feedback they request before the revamp. The new light grey print is a lot harder to read, wish they had not changed it at all.
Now RE.com has done it.
So what's the go? Why the light grey print instead of easy to read good old black? What is the default ink cartridge in printers for documents - black of course!
At least Somersoft is still easy to read!! Take note Sim . Actually, Sim can probably answer this question!
