I think its because all colors show up differently on certain forum skins. When you use night vision skin, some of the dark colors are hard to read, but if you use a light colored skin, some of the light colors are hard to read. I use Office Hours & can usually see them all just fine, unless of course there is a white font being usedOriginally Posted by sarahp
Why not delete the option to post in colours that are impossible to read?

I use the June Name skin and don't have too many problems with colors or fonts.Originally Posted by Kiwideus
I use the June Name Me Contest Skin - and thus have had no problems viewing the fonts.
I don't have problem with the larger font. Where it becomes harder read is with it is larger, colored, and bold. It starts looking fuzzy to me.Originally Posted by laureen227
exactly...
btw - does this font look really big to the rest of you? 'cause to me, it's just a hair bigger. i like it 'cause i find it easier to read... but if it bothers people, i can stop changing it.
for me, the only appropriate use of colored text or extra large text is for emphasis, delineation [like Sharky's use] or voices [like in Paws & Reflect].
altho even in the latter, i didn't start using colored text until i ran out of other options. i have one cat that uses the plain font, one bold, one italic & one underlined... then Miss Firefox came along, & i had to come up w/something for her!
I wonder if we're the only two that do?Originally Posted by CheshireCat
I use plain CatSite default, have since the beginning and it is what I am used to. And being a creature of habit anything else just confuses me.
DH calls that "wall of text". It's like your brain has slammed into a wall and just sits there going "uh...." because there's just too much.Originally Posted by CheshireCat
My biggest pet peeve, however, slight hijack here, are the posts that look like on giant run on sentence. Don't matter what the size or color those are just too hard to read.

Exactly! That's what they're for -- variety, occasional emphasis, fun. No need to apologize for that kind of use of colour.Originally Posted by KittKatt
I get bugged-eyed too with run-on posts..
I'll admit that I'm one of those who sometimes uses different colored fonts.I don't use them to "get noticed" or anything like that: I just like being able to have the option of a little variety now & again..
