Apparently, when the contrast of some UI elements was increased on meta.scifi.SE per this request, one case was missed: the username of the question owner is still shown as light pink on white in comments:

An easy fix would be to make the current CSS rule:

.owner a, .owner a:visited {
    color: #ca4040;
}

read instead as:

.owner a, .owner a:visited, a.owner, a.owner:visited {
    color: #ca4040;
}

With this simple change, the link color becomes a much more readable dark pink:

    It wouldn't bother me to change it to a darker pink and I'm happy to go with the flow; truthfully, I can read both examples equally well. Just thought I'd throw that out there, but, again, it wouldn't bother me if it were changed. Oct 7, 2014 at 18:54
  • I can't really see much difference and both are readable on my monitor.

    I can read both, but the second one is definitely clearer. I'd be happy to go with it.

    My vision is pretty good, but if it were a bit blurrier I'd have trouble reading the first one. So I approve of the change for those who are vision-impaired.

    I have to look closely to see the difference between the two. To me, they are both readable. Oct 8, 2014 at 17:36
  • Is this a bug or a feature-request?

  • @SQB: I've tagged it as a bug, since a) it's clearly a usability issue for some users, b) it was requested before, and the request was marked as status-completed, and c) looking at the CSS code, it seems pretty likely that the rule I quoted is supposed to apply to comments too, and the fact that it doesn't is just an oversight.

Thanks for your feedback. I have modified the CSS as you requested and confirmed that it does appear to make the OP's display name much more visible in their comments. It will be live in the next meta build (> rev 2014.10.16.1945).
