I wonder if anyone can help me? Suddenly, for no reason I know some of the questions shown in the list are in a reeeally faint grey. I find it hard enough dealing with modern "design" at the best of times: white on medium grey contrasting with darkish grey on a 45% grey background sort of thing, but this makes it almost impossible. Have I done something to cause this, and is there some way of switching it off?
@Xeo ... perhaps, but Firefox doesn't normally make things invisible just because you have already looked at them. And actually
.. no, it's not the ones I've just read. There is "What is the こと in sentences such as あなたのことが好きだ?" which went faint. I clicked it to read in a separate tab; went back and reloaded, and just for an instant it appeared normal, then went faint again. I can't imagine that Firefox is being this specific. I'll try and take a picture...
There seem to be at least 3 different levels of contrast, and I really can't see any connection between these and the questions I have been looking at or not. Thanks for any bright ideas!
Opening another tab produces exactly the same result. On se.music (be nice to get rid of this "spell checker" too) there is one question in a very slightly darker shade of blue, and when I mouse over it, it goes to a slightly lighter blue with less red in it. It's all so subtle, I'm sure someone somewhere thinks of this as their life work, but if only they would stop.
@BrianChandler That's certainly one you have visited. The darker colour conveys that information. Also, links are generally highlighted in some fashion if you hover over them
I can reproduce that on Japanese.SE too, but not that extremely faint question :/
@cypher Wow! Thanks: another triumph for interface design... millions of options, subtle slips of the mouse to change them all, and 20 minutes spent to escape.
@snailboat As someone who knows much more about information structure than I do, can you think of a better way to answer this question? japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/20982/…
