March to April Independent 8 lists now online

[Barry Attwood]

My updated lists are now available to view online, just go to the http://www.bfcc.biz and follow the link to the Independent 8 pages. There's quite a few new films listed, and the usual discounts on OLD STOCK 8mm films, and the continuation of some reductions on the Equpment page.

Hi Barry, don't know if it's my eyes but I couldn't see anything. It looks like the writing is in white, on a very light background, sorry if it's me.

[Barry Attwood]

Dear Del,

I just checked on my PC, it looks OK to me, white lettering against a black background, as it's always been on the BFCC site, Del send me your address and I'll send you a free paper copy, how's that (as they say in Cricket!).

[Brian Fretwell]

When I have trouble with things like that I try a select all (control a) after highlighting part of the text which will give different colours and often improves visibility.

[Phil Moors]

I have to say I would like to read your lists but I can’t look at that white lettering on a black background it
makes my eyes go funny. I find it almost impossible to read and give up. Perhaps a green background ?

[Barry Attwood]

I'm afraid I have no control on how it's presented, as it's put up as a favour for me, but I will ask if anything can be done.

[Brian Fretwell]

As I said earlier, for me, highlighting (moving the mouse over the text with shift pressed) gives blue text on a white background - much easier on my eyes.

[Del Phillipson]

Thanks Barry, this is what I am seeing on my laptop

Here's a reply from John Clancy who puts them onto the BFCC site for me - What people could do is copy the entire page into clipboard and paste it into a text or word processing document. Then they could enlarge the text to whatever size they want and they'd have black text on a white background. This is simple to do - highlight the whole web page of text and then press CTRL+C -> open Microsoft Word or Notepad or whatever software anyone uses and then press CTRL+V to paste the text in. Try sending any moaning minnies that set of instructions and see if they can cope with it.

I'm not a PC expert, so I have no idea if this works, but if you think you are up to having a go, it may just be a simple solution (I'm saying simple, as a non PC expert, that is!)

[Douglas Meltzer]

I find that using the "Zoom In" option (For me, that's under "View" in the menu bar) helps.

[Osi Osgood]

Very good advice from John on that. I usually will enlarge the text on my cellphone, but cut and pasting the whole list and uploading that to my PC would work even better for me.
