Posts and other text are invisible

Asylum Feedback/Support

Audio Asylum feedback, support and feature wish list.

Much of AudioAsylum's text is invisible on some systems, because the Web pages force a white background on the browser but do not set the text color to black. When the text color is left undefined, the user's operating system will draw the text in the system-default text color. That color might be white, which creates white text against your white background.
I posted a screen shot of the problem at http://AmbitiousProductions.com/probs/audioasylumprob.gif.
To demonstrate the problem, go into the Windows Control Panel's Display / Appearance settings and select the "high contrast black" color scheme. It's not the most attractive, but it'll illustrate the error if you visit your site.
If your pages are going to override users' color preferences, they need to override them completely (foreground AND background). There's no way to ensure that the color you picked for the background isn't the same as the color the user picked for text.
This problem is easy to fix. The site's pages or styles need to be corrected so they always set the text color to black.
