Most traffic lights are vertical (red, top, green, bottom), but those horizontal ones must really kill you!

They're not too bad to be honest. With vertical ones I can use the position and the green has a lot of blue in it so it's easier to recognise.

 

The biggest problems I have are with natural colours, trees, grass etc. and very small light sources, LED's and such like.

If anybody is interested this site simulates web pages as viewed by colourblind people.

 

Just enter the URL you want to compare and select the type of colourblindness (I'm protanopic) - it takes a minute or two but it's very interesting for people who want to know what it's like.

 

Try to find a site with pictures of nature - they have the most dramatic effect.

 

EDIT: http://colorfilter.wickline.org/ - Oops!

What website?

 

Oh, and why do I have a bad reputation now?

See above - I've added it now.

By the way, it turns grey if you're bad, not red. (I got that! AAAAA! )

Either way I can't see a difference. I like yt idea of making it numeric but that would probably involve changing the code.

Capn', you can see who gave you reputation in your UserCP, and for what post. If you feel it was in bad judgement, PM an admin or mod

No, I can't see who gave it to me.

yeah. You can't exactly see who gave you the good/bad comment. I think its a good think to stop hatred among forum members! If u see someone gave u a bad comment, you may not really feel like helping him/her!
