Link colors
The link color combination on the first page is quite horrible. I am talking about purple links on the gray background (latest this, latest that). They are hardly readable. The contrast on the links vs the background on the charts to the right ain't exactly superb either.
About time to do some changes on that? :) |

Hmm, for me it is ok.
But it seems you've got some other colour combination(!?)

I assume I have the same setup as everybody else...? Just take a look at that graphics you pasted, third line: C64 music | Fredrik | (2009-08-05). There's hardly any contrast between the purple text and the medium gray background color. Not very readable, and my vision is usually quite good :) |

your vision can be good. what about your monitor's color settings? find a monitor tuning software and you will be fine. |

I had a similar problem until recently when my old CRT was replaced. The contrast, etc. settings were ruined (14yrs old CRT) and all grays on this website looked similar - very dark and links were hard to see.

My monitor is just fine. It's hardware calibrated so don't worry about that. Just for the fun of it I ran it through a couple of contrast calculators, and the results were as follows:
http://juicystudio.com/services/aertcolourcontrast.php
"The difference in brightness between the two colours is not sufficient. The threshold is 125, and the result of the foreground and background colours is 10.
The difference in colour between the two colours is not sufficient. The threshold is 500, and the result of the foreground and background colours is 346."
And if you run it through the Luminosity Colour Contrast Ratio Analyser (http://juicystudio.com/services/luminositycontrastratio.php) the result is pretty much the same:
"The contrast ratio is: 1.86:1
Fail: The luminosity contrast ratio is insufficient for the chosen colours (#424242 and #9d00ff)."
Anyway, was just to show you that the problem is not on my end :) |

try with a freshly installed different browser... there's no purple at all on the main page. |

Could be some weird CSS fuckup using your browser's default setting for links. |

Ehrm.. sorry guys, it's purple, not blue - but that's in Firefox, not Internet Explorer. In IE it seems to be showing the colors the same way you see them.
Not quite sure what's causing this, but my Firefox needs a kick in the ass. I once changed a setting in Firefox to show images in sRGB, but that setting was only supposed to change images, not ordinary website colors. Gotta figure this out.
But just to end this:
No, it's not neccessary to change the CSDB link colors ;) |

I have Firefox, Mac, calibrated LCD, and links are blue and perfectly visible. It must be some problem on Your setup. |
