OK I must be having a senior moment here or something. When I click the feature request link all I get is a dead end page with no visible link to the live requests. Please tel me what I am doing wrong and 'splain to me how I go about viewing or adding a request.

  The link in header pointing to the Feature Requests system is supposed to sign you in automatically to the Feature Requests system. On that page, are multiple links to the actual Feature Requests site, but font color on links there need work so they stand out more. Since both issues are "under construction", this link will take you right to the Feature Requests site:

  OK I know I am lysdexic and partially blind, but I cannot find a link that allows me to mark posts read for any given section of the forums. For example when I am at the top level of General Discussion section of the forums I should be able to click a link and mark all threads and posts as read. Surely y'all are using a forums system that has this basic level of functionality so I must be just missing it. Please point me in the right direction... :) DUH NEVER MIND... Although a little more contrast in the submenus would be greatly appreciates. Slightly dark grey on light grey is not exactly the easiest thing to see! Making that text black would be a huge improvement! :)

  There's also one in the first sentence, first line on the Intro page.

  Thanks! Remember all of us old folks who can't see quite so well. I'm not asking for bright yellow on black or anything, juts a little more help with the visibility1 :)

  OK follow me here on this one... While you are reading this message, hover your mouse over the 'Community' option in the menu at the top of the page. Between the last two items in the drop down list (Mailing Lists and Feature Requests) you will see two big white arrow heads. That was pretty damn confusing to me until I figured out what was up. They look to be part of the navigation links for the forum further down the page. I think that the code needs a few z-index tags to make it so that they won't show through. Like I said it is very obscure but ya know doing things right is usually the better way to go! :)

  I've merged these threads together since they're all forum related. The header is to be replaced soon. The issues you mention will be sorted with the next round of changes to the current style. Thank you for your feedback.
