Several points. 1. I agree that I cannot find the 'link' that Jane states actually exists. So it's no surprise to me that you can't find it either. 2. You can change the website color format quite easily. There are several options, and the subject has been reviewed numerous times in the past when people complained about it. 3. There is nothing particularly complicated about the password process. You get one, you enter it once, and you're done. You do not have to enter it every time you get on the site. 4. The Forum is exceptionally easy to use. Take 15 minutes, FIFTEEN minutes, go to it, play around with it, and you'll never have a problem again.
The entire problem with the website issue is that there are NARGS members who simply refuse to spend a few minutes to learn how to use it. It may no be the best site in the world, but it's quite straightforward to use, and once you get the password ONCE, the rest is no harder that going to any website. ANY website. Bill uses it quite well. So should you. Email me privately if you have any questions, and if you want, you can even call me and I'll take you through the process step by step.

When i went to the bottom of the page that popped up, I got editor which didn't give me anything. Such is why I never bother accessing this website. It is beautiful in spite of the grey and other hard to see fonts on black, but the password process, etc. are just too annoying and time consuming. Too bad, as the photography is truly spectacular. Just call me challenged and older...smile. Would it be possible that when someone wishes to send others to a notable website page, one could simply post a link or URL?
