User Colour Choices For Stores.

[astral276]

I've noticed in a few case recently that when users have created their stores that they have set the text colour to be the same as the background colour (e.g. white text on a white background); this makes the text and/or store navigation links unreadable. Could there not be a check that would prevent the making of such settings?

You couldn't make it up!

It probably didn't occur to those programming that such a check would be needed.

This would make a great addition to the old thread "How Not To Sell On eBid"

Under no circumstances waste time and effort proof reading and checking a listing before, or after it goes live.

Well... even preventing both being set the same colour would not prevent them being set so close as to be effectively the same, but would obviate the most obvious error.

How big an issue it is across the site I have no idea, but have spotted a few incidents recently. Even the more experienced can slip up: http://uk.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?mo=...britain-stamps

Thanks astral and MPS16 - I've added it.

Good point, Mel, hope eBid support reads this and looks into it.

Best wishes for many sales to all,
