    Default The Preview Post.

    Hi to Whoever,
    Whenever I Reply to a Thread, & read it, & then Click on Preview Post, the Wording goes to a very, very light Grey, rather than staying a reasonable shade of Black, making it hard to see, also for those who have eyesight problems.

    Why is this ???????.
    Regards,
    issatree.

    It's like that because that is the way the VBulletin people designed and set it up, nothing we can do about it.

    Suggestion (don't know if you have already tried this).

    The text colour in the offending area is #6d6d6d, and as far as I can tell is inherited from here:

    Code:
    /* BASIC PAGE ELEMENTS */
    
    body {
    	auto;
    	min-99
    	max-auto;
    	margin: 0px 50px 0px 5
    	font-size:13px;
    	color:#6d6d6d;
    	line-1.230;
    }
    You should be able to override that by adding a suitable colour to this section of the CSS file:

    Code:
    blockquote.preview.forumcontent {
    	font:   13px Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif;
    }
    Would suggest this as a starting point:

    Code:
    blockquote.preview.forumcontent {
    	font:   13px Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif;
    	color:   #333;
    }
    That will comply with W3 accessibility standards for colour brightness and colour difference.
