does anyone else find the white letters on black background her on Wu's very hard to read for any length? I love this site but if I read for any longer than 1 minute, my eyes go completely out of whack and I get "burn in" ghosting from the lines, just like cheap plasma TV's...lol.
How about white backround with black font?

I disagree...I find white writing on black background much easier to read. A complete white background tends to be much too bright on the long run.

I am so used to the black background/white text and it personally doesn't bother me
Being a graphic designer, I have learned that the best readability combination is black text and white background.
Personally the typeface we have is great, but the letter 'I' and a lower-case 'L' look the exact same - that's the only thing that bugs me about it.

On printed media, the white background with black text is the best choice....but on a website you're not just looking at white, you're looking at a bright light from your monitor....if we were looking at page printouts of Wu's with both black text/white background and vice versa, the white background/black text is best to read....BUT where it matters on this site, the black background/white text is NOT difficult to read (neither would white background/black text) but the current combination is the best choice for the site! Hal your statement is absolutely valid

Doesn't bother me at all. In fact I find it easier. I'm not a typical reader so others who are readers (as books, magazines, other forums etc...) might find it harder as they have to adjust as mainstream txt are inverted. I like it the way it is.... gives a relaxing feeling... but that's just my opinion...

The black background is great for me. I'm usually here late at night; the less light blasting from my screen, the better.

I actually DO like the overall look and feel of this site. The problem I get is from reading posts. after one or two posts, the lines of text give me "ghosting" or what you might call "burn in". similar to what happens here: http://www.khou.com/images/0509/jesus_illusion.jpgPosts: 22 | Registered: Apr 2007
