Over the years working in Poser with white backgrounds and in text editors I have burned my retina a few times; last being a few years ago when I darkened my default colors to greys. Unfortunately I have a bit of color loss in one eye and permanent photo sensitivity to bright light.

Yes this can happen to you. Damn 3d. :)

A white background for text was a poor choice. The gradient background is known to cause migraines. It has a odd effect and not a new discussion unique to this site redesign.

Not everyone still had fresh 20 something eyes anymore. It is a simple thing to change the background color from white to pale grey.

But the difference between white and grey is huge in regards to wear and tear on the eye. Just leave a freeze frame of black text on white on your monitor or television for a few days, come back after the image is burned into the screen, and tell me it isn't a big deal.

Retina burn and monitor related headaches can be avoided. It isn't a big deal. All that aside the site is much less busy, though I notices prices are no longer listed in the newsletter; only the percentafe off.
