newsgrouper web access

Hi all, HNY

Just come across this, a hobbyist free effort that in a pinch might give some adhoc newsgroup access?

non-viable to provide the service.

I can't see the print white on very pale cyan.

I don't get any white text, mostly black on duck-egg blue, or black on buttermilk, it would benefit from a choice of css themes

buttermilk, it would benefit from a choice of css themes

Try using the mouse to highlight the text.

Hi, I run the Newsgrouper site. I don't set the text colour to white, and no-one else has complained about that problem, so I think it must be something specific to your browser - what are you using?

Yes, it's my site. Some people running small sites are treating the OSA as the end of the world, others think the panic is overblown. I'm hoping some useful guidance for small sites will appear soon.

Black print on a duck egg blue background here as well using Pale Moon & Firefox.

Ok, /by popular demand/ I'm looking at adding some options in the Preferences page to change the colours :-)

Opera

Interesting, I had a report from an Opera user a few days ago about form field positions being screwy, which I fixed.

I've now updated the code to explicitly set the text colour to black, I had been just relying on it defaulting to black. Please try again and see if that fixes your problem.

All browsers and mail clients seem to allow so much choice in what color to display if no color specified, what color to display if color IS specified and so on..

Yes the text is white on black now, because I am running Opera in 'Dark Mode'

Thank you.

This looks as though it could solve the issue of lack of a decent Newsreader under Android.

Will give it a try.

Thanks for your efforts.

Cheers

This is now done, I added a section at the end of the Preferences page where you can select whatever colours you like for the text and the background.

Hi, if you can point to any areas where Newsgrouper's useability could be improved, I would be interested to hear about them.

Custom colours now work, I presume unrelated, but I can't access this group now

I have reported an issue accessing uk.d-i-y with my newly registered user. However I thing that my error message (after trying to post a debug report) may have related to the debug report.

Sorry about that, it's fixed now.
