No, not really.
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.
I just skip those posts.
It doesn't annoy me. In fact, those people with different fonts are Gods.
some are really nice and some really annoying but people do what they want :cool:
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.Quote:

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.
:D
Nah, I read them anyway. I already suffer from eye-related problems for sitting too close to the monitor... :(
Nope doesn't bother me, I haven't seen anyone here make it too difficult. ^.^
doesn't bother me! no matter what the colour or font size i read it:D
It's just some new-to-forum-boards-and-want-to-use-the-font-stuff thing.
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. :(
Smile and Be happy :love:

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 always use classic style. rarely any problems.
I just ignore the posts
!XOBILE
Better?
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?
I hate it when people use really ultra super tiny fonts with ultra super weird colours that i cant read! omg!
~Keep it gooey~
Readable fonts are nice, but it's hard to judge what's readable these days with multiple forum styles.

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...Quote:

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.
I keep my settings on EoFF, so its cool blue and easy to read the light posts.......then sumone writes in navy ¬_¬
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.

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.

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.
It's a hard life with a strange font, isn't it?
Yo da peepz always be dissin' on me, man.
REPRESENT!
are your eyes bleeding yet?
blah blah blah
i like cheese
does this hurt??
i know thjat i may start bleeding out of my retinas any second now
but its all okies
its pink
BLEED!!
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.
