Nice colour change, very tasteful and more importantly, legible in bright light.

Grant are you messing with our minds? My font has gone back to that browny red colour. Actually it looks like rust.
I liked the blue!

nope, it's still nice blue!
Are you on another computer and need to force a refresh to get the latest code on it?

The problem with that is you very quickly get into the realms of having to pan about the page to read the end of each line. This requires a lot of hand to eye coordination. Not the best solution for someone with optical problems.
In the reading systems I made for the visually impaired, the text was always formatted so that whatever was on screen was sequential text. It was done by scanning in the text, OCR'ing it then displaying it in the size required using graphics on variable sized fonts. Imagine a small window
The Quick
Brown fox
jumped over
the lazy
This gives the reader a dollop of text big enough to convey information.. now imagine just magnifying like this
The quick
now yo have to pan right until this disappears hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
brown fox
now yo have to pan right until this disappears hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
jumped over ,,,,, ad nauseum..
so magnification is not he answer unless the text is justified to suit the magnification.
I buy a bigger screen to get bigger text. this is defeated by the use of higher resolutions .

Sounds like you need to force a refresh!
ANY time things seem weird, force a refresh - on any site!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
