    Hello,

    Am I the only one being driven to distraction by the use of fonts so massive in some posts that you need to stand well back to read them? Shouting in capitals is viewed as ill-mannered ‘netiquette’, using 36 point fonts, and emboldened ones at that, should be an indictable offense.

    I agree! I usually don't even read them.

    I think the use of bold and large fonts is at times warranted and even necessary. It expresses emotion, something which we all need to emphasize sometimes in a faceless environment such as this.

    I agree that posting in all caps is annoying but for the most part, large colorful fonts are fun!

    I am with you Hillary.

    Surfing through the fonts makes me bug-eyed too.

    IW,

    Why? You for example manage to present to this Board some of its most forcefull and strong posts, but I cannot recall you falling victim to the National Enquirer Font Jamboree. Mind you Steinbeck might have been much racier if he could just have printed some of his sentences in gigantic letters....

    I have to resize default quote size or it's turns out tiny - normal size in quote
    Now, isn't this one better? easier to read? lol - and don't I sound like Everyone's Mother? (shut up 6) (size 2 print, btw)
    Size 3 in quotations.

    This is size 2 print outside of quotations.

    This is size 3 print outside of quotations.

    This is normal (whatever THAT's supposed to mean)

    Couldn't there be a size 2.5 ............easier on the eyes?

    And the colors are useful - sometimes. The sizing is hard on the eyes. Holidays look nice large. Other than that? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

    Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn..................................

    lol @ IW

    You hit the nail on the head.

    At least now I know I am not going crazy, as I know I saw the post to begin with.
