If, in your User Options, you have your Message Editor set to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing", you can hit the "Quote" button at the bottom of the message, and it will appear in black text on a white background in a message editing window. If the text is too small, you can just highlight it and hit the "Remove Text Formatting" button in the upper left hand corner of the Message Editing toolbar. After reading the message, you can return to the thread by hitting the Back button in your browser. You wouldn't need to do this for every message (if you did, then it might be time to get a new monitor) but it is an option if you come across a message that is really difficult to read. Of course, another option would be to simply say to the poster, "How's that again? I couldn't read your last post."

But then, there is also the possibility that the poster is just making things harder for you in order to mess with your head. <grin>

I began to post on TRF about a year after I had started posting here on YORF. After having looked at this interface for year, I found the TRF (1.0) screen to be too bright and harsh at first. It took me a couple of weeks to adjust to it.

w/ IE...right mouse click in your brower window, click "Select All"... I get either white text on dark blue background(s)....or dark text on white background(s)--kinda "reverse video" effect. works for my old eyes!

I tried it on some other websites that are hard on my eyes, and it make reading easier there too.

Hey, you're right! It works in Firefox, too.
