friends profiles

I think that is a common problem but nothing to do with the computer. Those contrasts you mention are very difficult to read and those users that choose their colour schemes may not realise how hard it is for others to cope with them. There are also some that have a dark photo as the background with black as the font colour for the writing. There's not much thought there either

Hi pat! No, it's not your computer! It's the way it comes out when they have that color background. And it is rather annoying because you can't read it! I have seen it that way many times. I don't now if they do it on purpose or not. It is like trying to read disappearing ink! I thought it was me for awhile, but I have seen it happen more than once so it must be when someone uses those colors that it makes it hard to see against the backgrounds.

I have seen many profile pages with this problem. Too many members seem to design the page purely for appearance and forget to create a decent contrast between text and background to make it readable. This can be very difficult at times and tends to deter people since the effort of reading hardly seems worthwhile.

i have noticed in some of my friends profile and it really is difficult to see what they have written..i have not found that out among the new users.usually i donot go friends psofile before approving the friend request.

I think it is just the colour choices peple have used while customising their profiles and not a problem with your computer. Some bad combinations of backgroung and text colours can be very hard to read and a strain on the eyes.
