I'm sorry but some people on the forums post in a font either too small or it has a loud colour and its bolded and outlined with another loud colour.IT irritates me.I can't freaking read it.Does this bothers anyone else but me?

Nope. If I can't read it, I just highlight it.

I can think of people who like to use really small fonts, change the color, and sometimes even italicize it. It's annoying, yes, so I usually don't even bother reading it.

It doesn't annoy me. In fact, those people with different fonts are Gods.

I don't think orange is too hard to read, and it's my trademark, so, sorry if it annoys/offends anyone but my orange font is here to stay (until I get sick of it or get scolded!)

Kamiko uses small font. I can read it fine. It's just hard to tell when a word is bolded or not. Other than that it's fine.

No one here really uses font sizes too small (my monitor is fairly big, you might compensate by toning down your resolution) or colors that don't transist from what I've seen.

People must have skipped my posts all of the time.

It bugs me when fonts are hard to read. So I skip them, too.

It does bother me, but I still read those posts. They still have, I'm assuming, interesting things to say, so I disregard the font as much as possible.

Nah, I read them anyway. I already suffer from eye-related problems for sitting too close to the monitor... :(

If I can't read something because of the colour I highlight it, but there's only one person who writes in a colour I can't read. It's in pink and I use fluffypuff so I can't read it. :(

Font sizes aren't a problem, although sometimes font colours look ugly on the EoFF Classic style. However, they're rarely hard to read so I don't really mind.

I'll admit I haven't played with the options much, but here's a newbie question. I mostly just use the quick reply box I've had put at the bottom of threads. But when I do go to advance mode, if you ever select anything to change the font, a dialogue box opens up to input text that you want formatted. Meaning it only formats that particular text. Granted you can then edit till your heart's content. But that means that it's not saved the next time you reply. Meaning you have to select those options EVERY time. A) That's retarded. You people actually do that? @_@ B) Is there a way to make it remember what font settings you want? Or do you have to apply it to each and every post manually?

Readable fonts are nice, but it's hard to judge what's readable these days with multiple forum styles.

Small fonts are annoying, I just increase the font size :)

The default font is fine. There is no real point in changing your font in every post, because it only means less people will read it. I don't see the benefit in that. I, too, find it annoying.

No. You have to apply it every time. Pointless, in my opinion, unless you don't like people reading your posts...

Colour changes are particularly annoying as we use four different styles at EoFF. Just because it's easy to read in one style doesn't mean it's easy to read in others. At work, I use the simplified style. At home, I use EoFF Classic. When Award Guy is around, he uses EoFF 2005. The font colour changes are awful. I had difficulty reading a few fonts in this thread (I'm at work right now) as it is.

Fukuzukuzulu posts in a font I can't read unless I highlight it, but that's just 'cause I use Fluffy Puff.

It's almost as bad as the thing where people post the same thing atthe end of every single post. We have a SIGNATURE for that.

small fonts are killer. Especially since I sit really far back from the monitor xD

I don't see the point. It's a waste of time having to apply the code every single time just to be 'unique' xD

Back in the old days, you used lime green on black and you LIKED it.

Yes. -sigh- And no I don't do it to be 'rebelious cool and unique!' I do it cause I enjoy taking an extra twenty seconds out of every post to center and resize. o.O

I've used pink, aqua-ish, green, orange . . . just depends on my sig's theme. I'm trying to stick to white due to the fact that any other color may be hard for other people to read and I'm trying to be considerate to some level and degree. Iri even said she took the idea from me which was very flattering.

I'd probably leave my font to the left and just resized but then I feel like I'm copying Rye. ^.^ And I don't just do it here, I center all my post in LJ too.

I gotta say I often skip Fuza's posts too because of the whole centering thing. It ruins the flow of the thread for me, so I just pretend they aren't there. Centering may well be worse than coloured fonts.

As for 'copying Rye', people were doing that long before Rye was even registered, so I don't think anyone would think you're copying her.

Seriously, though - I think everyone should just stop formatting every post they make because it's nothing but a hassle for the other members. There's a reason we don't have every forum title / thread title with a different font, too. It's just easier when it's all done to a standard.

But people have been doing it for years and I've never been able to stop 'em, so there you go.
