2 items that have been on my plate for some time...
#1 - Perhaps my pet peeve in web design is the perception of some graphic illustrators who find dark text on a dark background to be, somehow, acceptable...and the internet is rife with this visual nastiness. Actually having to drag my mouse over some text to make it legible to these older eyes is almost a daily occurence.
ACOM, please lighten the text noted in the attachment. It is horrid as currently rendered.
#2 - If you can hyperlink it, DO it. Ease of navigation is the name of the game and why all names aren't hyperlinked in the attachment (just as is the additional spouse name) is beyond me.

It must be your browser, see mine, that text is white against a brown background.
The second want, the hyperlink, isn't something I would personally use from that page.

Mine also shows it in white text. I use IE7 for a browser in this case.

Interesting responses. Thanks. I'll have to look into this further.
The attachment is a rendering utilizing FF 12. I don't believe I have anything unorthodox in my settings that might cause this. Anyone else using FF 12 that doesn't paint it that way?

I also get very dark text on a dark background for the "return to" and I agree it's very hard to read. I am using Windows XP on one computer and Windows 7 on the other, both with IE7, and it's the same on both. Maybe a computer display setting is causing this?

Interesting. I just checked the rendering (Win XP) in IE 8 and the "return to" is light and legible. Go figger :-/
Would be nice if an ACOM tech might weigh-in with some educated observations.

Thanks for everyone's input. I've found the culprit causing my error..."Theme and Font Size Changer" (
http://barisderin.com/?p=286
). Not sure just why and it's a likable Firefox add-on so I'm gonna hafta play with it a bit to get it to behave.
