Upvote colorblindness visibility

@downpw I don't have access to the site so I can't change anything myself....I'm assuming this is in a file somewhere?

@rallydarkstrike yes, you'll find find this in the ACP under Custom CSS.

You will need Admin access via the ACP. Follow the directions of @phenomlab below:

Of course, I guess you could also edit the respective file directly but the above offers lower hanging fruit.

Have fun!

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

[RallyDarkstrike]

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:

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

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!
