I have never really scrolled all the way down on the coin forum page. I usually just go to the main forums that I enjoy. As I was scouting around today, I noticed on the bottom of the page that there is a key code for the color of the button/round bubble icon on the left side of the forum pages to signify if there has been a new post since your last visit. Well, I never noticed a difference in colors because I am severly color blind. The icon looks the same to me  . I know that there are probably not enough of us color blind members to suggest that the colors become more significantly different like orange to black or something that is a dark and a light/bright color. Just thought I would bring this subject up because there may or may not be more members like me not even noticing that there is supposed to be a difference. Thank you for your time.  |

Thanks for pointing that out stud722. I also am colour blind. Yes in Canada, there is a "u" in colour. LOL. Until I read your post I never noticed the bubble icon either. Any help for us with this disability throughout the site would be appreciated. Thanks CCF

I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about We're talking about the circle on the left of all of the forum topics. At the bottom of the main forum page it shows that one is for new posts and the other is for old posts since last visits... Us colour blind people can't tell the difference between the two colours, they're too close in shade. stud722 was just asking if it was possible to change them to one light colour and one dark so that we can see them like everyone else?

Then you didn't understand my post either  Quote:
-GO
Your Friendly Neighborhood Colorblind Coin Collector I'm sure Bobby can look into it but I can't promise anything. I fail 9 outta 10 colorblind tests but for this particular one I can tell the difference but it's not as easy as others. |

No didn't catch that. Funny! Not looking for promises, but if it's easy enough to change would appreciate it.
Thanks GO

Not color blind but I would like to place a vote that we change the colors too for the benefit of all!

I think it's supposed to mimic the default HTML purple/blue colors for visited/not visited links.
However if that's the case, it's backwards, so I take that comment back (in HTML, unread is blue, read is purple/magenta).
Ror a visual queue, those colors/icons could definitely be improved upon.
How about brown and green? ;)

How about brown and green? To me those are the same color. My poor mother used to cry thinking that her son thought everything in nature looked dead  |

Agreed, brown and green are the worse for me to tell apart. Blue and Purple are hard too. Something easier would be yellow and blue or any that are bright for one and dark for the other.

Guys, I was kidding around. I know that green and brown are indistinguishable to color blind people; that's what the winking smiley --> ;) was for. GO, you even quoted me without the smiley! Man, it's hard to crack wise in here sometimes! Me culpa for not using CCF-approved emoticons My father is color blind and while not a huge issue for him, it was always fun for me as a kid to catch him when he made a mistake because of color blindness (hey, kids have to get their shots in at their parents when they can, right?). I always enjoyed "beating" him by being able to discern the numbers in tests such as these:    How did y'all do on them? |

I am glad to see the great response to this forum. I wasn't sure if I was the only color blind guy on here. If I take my computer in a really well lit room, I can sort of see a shade difference. I appreciate everyones comments. It's nice to know that you are not alone! THanks guys

Count me as another red/green color challenged person. When I first joined an online Yahtzee group I had trouble with the colors of every one's dice. A kind member made me a set of blue and yellow dice and I have used them ever since. As for the other member's dice I ignore them and rely successfully on scores to follow a game. As for coins I have the most trouble with "rainbow" toning. Most look ugly to me instead of beautiful. The stats: one in 100 males and one in 10,000 females have some form of color blindness. It is inherited by the X chromosome. If a male has a bad X he is color blind. If a female has one bad X but the other is good she is fine. In a female both XS have to be bad. Edited by matthewvincent

Oh my, color me in with the "Color Blind" crowd, especially after "failing" the aforementioned test!  ...or maybe it's time for a "new" monitor!  Edited by oih82w8

Definitely more color blind collectors than I previously thought
