Forum changes

Remember, we are all looking at the forum in different views, depending on the choice you made at the bottom left, of the page.

So, one could be looking at TASA (Blue) and others at TASA2 (green)...

 

Gert and others,

I am red green colour blind and the change to the green version which it defaulted to was seriously causing me to be blind, so I am very grateful that the normal TASA option does still work. BTW, do you know that one out of 25 males are red green colour blind whilst only one in 1000 females are colour blind. Surely, there must be a couple more of you colour blind guys on the forum? I think that we will then form a special club, something like the Jik junkies, any suggestions?

Thanks and kind regards,

Dirk

 

Hey Dirk,

Thanks for the post!

I am actually dyslexic, and a specific form of Dyslexia at that which is called Eyrns Syndrome. Whilst it is not a form of colour blindness, in my case it is actually affected greatly by Red light.

The problem is that my eyesight is actually TOO good! So good infact that I can see a plane flying very far away, and be able to tell you what it is when the person besides me can't even see the dot!

I cannot read Red writing on a Blue background, and also when I read black ink printed on white paper, I can see all the colours that have leached (via Chromatography) into the paper around each letter!

This makes it incredibly hard to read, and slows me down considerably! So what I had to use was a Green acetate see through sheet over the page, and it would help a lot!

Anyways, maybe these two posts should go over to the 'way off topic' forum?

Back to the thread!

Regards
G!

 

Aha now I now how to post and get away with it if Big G is online
For some reason my blackberry switched to Tasa2 and I can't change at the moment, isn't this the case
For everybody at this point?

 

I past my Commercial pilots license medical and a week after that I got glasses. And by passing everything I thought i eyesight was darn good. But when I got my glasses I could really see allot more detail in objects 40m and futher away. And by wearing them I get allot less headaches then before. But I hate wearing glasses, I keep looking over them.

 

I'm red-green colour-blind... :worried:

 

Salmon,

I think that we are going to start claiming special status and rights.... Red-green colour blindness has the advantage that I can see through any form of camouflage of buck or anything else. I am always the first one to see animals in a national park, so this has its advantages!

Kind regards,

Dirk

 

Dirk, the same applies to me! Well, not that I'm out in the bush much, being the water-baby I am, but I always spot stonefish before others do!

It's been useful to some extent... except failing art classes in my earlier years of high school. Regardless, it's a unique trait that I'm quite proud of. I still get a giggle out of the reactions of people when I tell them that I'm colour-blind. The first thing that they do is point at something and ask me what colour it is The next five minutes are spent explaining red-green colourblindness.

Well, we were both born before 1994... do you think we can put ourselves down for 'previously disadvantaged'?

 

Changed the style back to the old one.
The "new" one was actually based on an older version of vBulletin so had a few too many incompatibilities. I'm sure a few people have seen the security token missing error.

If you like the new one and don't have any problems you can switch back by selecting TASA2 on the bottom left of the page.

 

so it was YOU!!!! Was cursing my PC for changing the format!
