Me again! This website is almost unreadable because it is faded, with pale blue lettering and the print is ridiculously small, although this is better than the first one I replied to you today. I would like to refer you to the CNIB WEbsite to find the CLEAR PRINT GUIDELINES. If you want replies from patients you can at least make the website readable. AND where is the questionnaire?
The letters below are better than above!

MJ Martin: Thanks for your comments. We have done some tweaking to resolve some problems viewing the pages properly using older versions of browsers. The print size is adjustable at the top of the page (see TEXT SIZE), so that people can increase the size to as large as they need. Initially, the print seemed to default to the smallest size, and we have corrected that. We have also taken steps to make the workbooks easier to find. There is a link at the bottom of the left menu, and in the Get Involved section.

If you come across any more problems, or if you are still experiencing the original legibility problems, please let us know.
