First of all:

the redesign of the Grasta page is great work!

But please check the tables of the detailed pages - the last columns of each Second row are nearly unreadable because of the dark grey, especially the blue color of the links is unreadable, but normal black color is hard to read as well. It would be nice if this could be optimized. :)) - this affects certain tables on other pages as well, so it would be nice to apply a solution everywhere.

Thanks and please keep up with that outstanding work!

Thanks! Do you have a suggestion for a different color that would work? On my Android phone in Firefox it shows up perfectly. Also I normally use dark mode, on both desktop and mobile, so I don't see any striping at all tbh, and when I do turn on light mode just to see what it looks like, it looks perfectly readable? But I don't have an iPhone so I can't see what you see.

In any case, if you need something changed site-wide (which sounds like it would help everyone using that similar access method, so yeah worth talking about), you may want to go to the wiki channel on discord and talk to an administrator there? Or perhaps one will see this and respond here.

The only other thing I could think of would be to turn off the striping effect only for this table, but that usually is designed to help people read across so I hesitate to go to that extreme (without compensating in other ways like draw borders or horizontal lines at least to provide separation). On the other hand, when I turn it off here just experimentally, there's actually so much wasted space between the rows that it significantly improves things to simplify in that manner - except then the Location field being too tall and not aligned properly in the middle with the table gets confusing. In any case, I will look into it, but again if you wanted something changed for the entire site, that's a whole other thing, and you'll need to get an administrator's attention for something like that.

Addition: this happens if you use a smartphone (for example iPhone 6s) in normal vertical mode - for larger tables in horizontal mode as well.

I like vertical mode better as it offers more lines and therefore better overview which makes me understand things better.

It would be nice if a smartphone user can use the tables conveniently as described as well

Voiddp and I were just discussing this on reddit - they provided an excellent suggestion to improve readability by not trying to use the tables standard out of the box like this, but rather wrap things specially inside div statements, like the character skills. So yes, I do hope that improvement can come soon:-).
