Upvote colorblindness visibility

julian

A very good suggestion, we should definitely strive for colourblindfriendliness (is that a word?)

Can you open an issue against the main GitHub repo?

@rallydarkstrike in case site owner is interested to change the icons, we have these options:

custom CSS codes for this change is:

// Change the icon for votes
span.votes {
    .fa-chevron-up:before {
        content: "\f164";
        font-weight: 400;
    }
    .upvoted .fa-chevron-up:before {
        content: "\f164";
        font-weight: 900;
    }
    
    .fa-chevron-down:before {
        content: "\f165";
        font-weight: 400;
    }
    .downvoted .fa-chevron-down:before {
        content: "\f165";
        font-weight: 900;
    }
}

Yup, looks like, though as this is a feature request and not a bug report, do I have to fill out all these requested details? I'm not a dev on our site so I don't have access to them

@rallydarkstrike You don't have to fill out the details just put a link to this topic in the github issue.

@baris ... at this point, who is going to write a mod or plugin that allows users post an issue directly to GitHub via the forum.

Maybe there will be some

<baris>

@omega Sounds like something up @julian's alley

Feature Request - Better visiblity on upvote/downvote icons when clicked for those with Colorblindness · Issue #10174 · NodeBB/NodeBB

Hi all, Linking to the topic I had posted about this feature request: https://community.nodebb.org/post/86662 Essentially, I have a friend who is colorblind and none of the default NodeBB themes are easy for him to tell if he has already...

Crazy tangent here with context - I remember a couple of random unexpected posts I read on a forum about I think digestion issues around 2014.

Psilocybin, see this guy posted, that twice, it cured his colourblindness, first time temporarily, then it seemed permanently the second time, so I did a quick search for this post and what do you know, it's a thing:

(www.psypost.org)

Then there are also the studies and reports that it also helps PTSD victims., for e.g.:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment with Psychedelic Drugs | NYU Langone Health

NYU Langone’s High School Bioethics Project examines PTSD and the ethical implications of using psychedelics like psilocybin to treat symptoms.

NYU Langone Health (med.nyu.edu)

Fungus is literally mind-blowing (expanding I believe is the correct term) in more ways than one, but tbh, I have to take other peoples word for it and watch documentaries, nor am I endorsing you run out and start eating mushrooms off the local golf course! No no, this post is not medical or medicinal advice, more of a "did you know", trivial pursuit type intervention.

Whoa, check out the mycelium on that State man, it's humongous... .

@omega Surprised yet not surprised!
