Welcome message delivered to NC members
#bug
I don't remember whether I've already reported this as a bug, but the welcome message is going out to NC members, which should not happen. Only actual group members should be privy to a group's welcome message, which may contain information that's not for the public.

Copy and Paste for Tool Bar
#suggestion
Jim Jackson <jwjackson43@...>
A member of one of my groups has asked about the possibility of adding "Copy" and "Paste" icons to the message tool bar. He typed out his text in Word and copied it into the message box. I promised to pass his query on to those who can answer the question.
Thanks, Jim "Pops" Jackson

It's just a matter that text links should always be obviousAccording to my testing on the WCAG site, the black (333) text on white background has a contrast of 12.63:1 and the unvisited link (337ab7) has a contrast of 4.55:1, both above the minimum of 4.5:1 recommended. The visited gray/grey (787878) is just below minimum at 4.41:1. I'm not sure how much of this is from the site and how much is from my browser. Duane PS Using the Always setting in FF is much more visible, but seems a bit 'harsh' when viewed for any length of time. Probably why the default colors are used.

I think I like that, On second thoughts.. uh - oh. That changes too much. It completely changes the appearance of (say) the NMM flag in the members list. With a "normal" setting the flag is white letters on a blue background; with "Always" set it appears as a blue letter on white. So if I was to describe something to look for based on the "normal" setting to someone with the "Always" setting they will not see what I describe. Another example is something like a screenshot based on a normal setting; it will appear normal irrespective of the viewer's browser setting, but what they will see if they go to the subject of the screenshot will be different if they have Always set in their own browser.. Confusion all round... Chris

By choosing "Always", I see the second (Contrast).Now that really does make a difference! In several places... inc. the composition box! I think I like that, and I don't have a visual impairment. Chris

By default, it selects "Only with High Contrast themes.", so I see the first attachment (Normal). By choosing "Always", I see the second (Contrast). Duane

It's almost as if accessible design can help everybody, even sighted folk. 🤔. It utterly baffles me how non disabled developers haven't grasped this yet. Mark actually cares, but he's one of the few that do. Sure, some small navigational things can be done to make navigating threads easier for us screen reader peeps, but this contrast bug should be fixed across the whole website, not just the mentioned page. It should be a priority, and a bug, not a feature request. Mark has done a great job wit accessible design so far. Imagine you're using the app, for example, the upcoming app, and the son is in your eyes or something. Temporary blindness is a thing. By the way, the upcoming app should be accessible too, contrast wise.

To clarify, it's not that the 'visited' status needs to be featured. It's just a matter that text links should always be obvious and easy to visually scan for. Even for people with low vision or crappy monitors, without having to adjust their browse settings.

I'd imagine contrast needs to be worked on in general, not just the wiki page. But yes, this should be fixed. Contrast in general.

this is a real problem that could be easily fixed with higher contrast color in the CSS.Based on some quick research, modern browsers have a setting to override page settings for Visited and Unvisited links, so anything used on a site such as Groups.io is only a suggested default. If someone is using those settings in their browser, changes made here wouldn't apply anyway. I believe this #bug should be a #suggestion, if anything. Duane
