several websites are unreadable as the text is too light; when I load the site into Explorer they are fine

Do you mean light in color, or light in font weight (thickness of letters)?

Occasionally I see light colored text on a light background on some sites. I suspect it occurs because the background color or image on the page isn't tall enough (?) and so as I scroll down, some of the light colored text appears on a light background instead of a dark background. If I'm in a hurry, I just Select All (Ctrl+A) to read it. Otherwise, I might copy/paste the text to a Word document or view the page in a different browser.

Are there specific sites you use regularly that have this problem? You can share links to sites but please insert a space before the .com or .net so the forum doesn't send your post to the spam link moderation queue. (If it does anything, it should appear here eventually.)
