why do some cb ppl type this way? Options

[littlewhite]

i have seen some people in cb using this font, terminal (size 1) in their posts, which in my opinion i have a hard time reading them.

example:
i have seen some people in cb using the font terminal in their posts.

if you use IE, here is how it will look like in firefox (picture credit: basick)

changing font is ok to me, but changing to a font (or size) that is not readable is an issue.

that gets pretty annoying to me.

so what are your opinions in this font? i believe many cb users switched to firefox from IE.

SORRY i am a firefox user so this font is completely not readable in firefox, but in IE, it is completely alright. i changed the signature since some of you got annoyed by it.

[iheartsimba]

I don't see it that often. But if they want to, no ones stopping htem =/

[innovation]

well, perhaps they just like the font? personally, i think it's too much work to change the font every single time you post. but that's just me.

[HelloSunshine]

Writing in different fonts doesn't bother me at all. I think it gives the people who post in different fonts more unique-ness. Sometimes I post in kartika size 4...like now. I don't do it all the time 'cause like someone said up there ^ it's too much work.

[Nicolatofu]

I notice people do that. I get tired of changing font. But i can read it fine. Maybe they like their post to stand out in some way

[Chaos13]

well sometimes that happenes because your computer doesn't support that font or thats the font...

[gigiopolis]

What's the problem...? Why should it matter? I'm not complaining about the typing in your signature.

[heyyfrankie]

well, perhaps they just like the font? personally, i think it's too much work to change the font every single time you post. but that's just me.

i think it is too much work, too...IMO.

and i like the font terminal but as kristin already said, i don't see people do it much. and i like terminal CAPS more than terminal in lowercase.

[*basick*]

i cant read it in Firefox, only IE browsers

[HelloSunshine]

What's the problem...? Why should it matter? I'm not complaining about your typing in your signature.

Ditto. If you're having trouble reading it, perhaps think about getting your eyes checked? Not sure...

[*jooleeah*]

I think it's annoying how you type in your signiture. No offense or anything. My point is that it shouldn't matter how a person types on here. You can still read it, it's just a bit annoying.

[*x____duckii*]

^ Hahaha, so true.

But I don't see why it should matter... If they like the font, then let them use it. It you can't read their post, then ignore it. And I don't see how the terminal font is hard to read... I can read it clearly.

[Angel_Cece]

its very tiring changing font. but some ppl like it that way.

[Chaos13]

Oh another is that if you have Firefox I don't think It would support the font so you would have to use internet explorer or maxthon.

[eli5e]

lol i have never come across anything like this

[x_o]

well, perhaps they just like the font? personally, i think it's too much work to change the font every single time you post. but that's just me.

it is too much work to change the font... but the size 1 terminal font looks nice. maybe that's why they use it?

[*basick*]

looks like shit on firefox...

[sharerol]

I guess some people just like the font. I don't really care if they use it or not because it looks fine on my computer, but hm...I never thought it would look like that on Firefox.

[smrkangl]

for me it is too much work, i tried it before and after 2 posts, i quit it.

[kcinshin]

I agree. When viewing using firefox it's all smashed together and you can't read it. But if I use Internet Explorer it's not that bad. If I was still using Internet Explorer I would be okay with it but a lot of people use firefox nowadays.

[lovescream]

well, perhaps they just like the font? personally, i think it's too much work to change the font every single time you post. but that's just me.

I thought that, too. But I guess it turns into a habit that you have to do. I sometimes even type this out for xanga comments.


I see no problem with it. Perhaps they really like the font. If you can't read it, you can just quote them to see what it says, or copy and paste it on Notepad. No problem. :D But color bugs me. If it's some blinding green, I'd freak then.

[minus_perfection]

i think the terminal font is cool but its so dinky.

[misoshiru]

i don't really care. but it does get annoying when people change it to a color that hurts your eyes.

[WhiteLotus*]

I like that font! I used to change my font size, color, and font. It got kind of tiring, so yeah I just...stopped. As long as people read my posts, I'm happy. Afterall, the content is more important that what the font looks like, right?

[WhiteLotus*]

so sorry for the quad. post. URGH.

[sadolakced acid]

i ignore posts that are in that.

why? i can't read it. it looks like small decorative ants.

[WhiteLotus*]

so sorry for the quad post..again.

So sorry for the double post! ACK.

[sadolakced acid]

computer freezing?

the point is, to firefox users, it isn't legible...

(there are two more of that post on the previous page)

[jnukes]

yeahhh .. i know what you mean .. i mean .. isn't saying this tha same thing as saying this ?

it IS too much work .. i mean i can understand italics and bolds and underlines to emphasize, or stressing words .. but font .. it's just a font ..

on a forum , at least ..

cause on IM'ing, tha font is already set for you .. and it shows uniqueness ..


i guess people on cB want to show uniqueness ? .. ..


maybe tha people that tYp LiKe ThIs want to show uniqueness, too .. so .. i don't know, this is weird ..

Yeah my computer did freeze. Thanks for pointing that out, Derrington.

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

i dont have a problem with the font; i can read it perfectly fine. its their own choice if they like the font and want to use it.

[Teesa]

hmm..sometimes I like the different fonts that people use. Maybe not in their signatures, but when they type in forums. It distinguishes from the others and I can easily tell who is typing. I know I can look at their username, but still =)
and I agree with jnukes about using bold/italics/and underline when appropriate.

[Just_Dream]

looks like shit on firefox...

Eeek wow.. that looks terrible. It kinda hurts my eyes. Sorry, but when I see the font Terminal everywhere, it becomes overused. I see it in people's xangas and even though it's readable since I use I.E., I still struggle to read it, ESPECIALLY if they use all caps. It really annoys me. But there's not much I can do about it anyways.

What you CAN do is highlight the text, copy it, then paste it onto a blank notepad to read it. It's time-consuming, yes, but better than nothing. Personally, I don't find it appealing when people constantly use different fonts in their posts, but hey they can do whatever they want. I tend to overlook posts with different fonts, so if people feel left out when I post, they should know why. lol

I agree, it does take a little more time when trying to change the font. It's WORSE when people decide to change the font color. I remember a few times when someone would have light blue or light pink font... Haha but then I would end up highlighting the text anyways. It gets annoying but bleh.. not something I'd get overly annoyed about.

[toodlepops.]

I don't really see people typing in Terminal, font 1.
I think Felicia uses Terminal, but not font 1.
Anyways, It doesn't really bother me. It's their choice.

[GOO]

looks like shit on firefox...

i never thought itd look like that. Whats it say anyway?

[queen]

firefox users can change the font size.
...whiners ;x

[Ballpointpencil]

I use Firefox and it doesn't bother me.

[jue]

i think they just type that way cause they like the way it looks

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

Sometimes I'll change the font size to a smaller number. Small text looks neater to me somehow...but Terminal Size 1 gave me a headache =P I've never seen anyone use it before.

[jennyjenny]

I've seen people change their font and text EVERY TIME they post. I don't see why they would go through all the trouble. But if they change a font, it's ok because I don't really like this font, either. It's readable and all, but i guess it's not "cute".

[pingpang_0811]

i don't have any opinion of differnent fonts.
but some fonts are really hard to see. that's what annoy me ^^"
some even difficult to read line by line.. coz they seem mix up together ... maybe that's the reason of people get annoying with font.

[loljuliana]

it's okay i guess. but i hate fonts where all the letters look as if they are capitalized (sp?) for example. .rendensek. that font is really annoying. everything's all chubby and small and look capitalized.

[sadolakced acid]

firefox users can change the font size.
...whiners ;x

it has to be this big to read in firefox.

[attachment=11500:attachment]

do you know how annoying it would be to read everything at that size, becuase people use a really tiny font that doesn't render on firefox? large print comptuer, all the time? or how about changing the font to be able to see these little ants as letters. to me, it's much better to just ignore the entire post. illegible= i won't try. and trust me, font this big is annoying.

[wayne]

terminal doesnt work for my firefox. i hate that font unless im using IE. then its awesome

[mocassinsx29]

I notice people do that. I get tired of changing font. But i can read it fine. Maybe they like their post to stand out in some way

Exactly what I was thinking. =)

[lovescream]

i never thought itd look like that. Whats it say anyway?

i have seen some people in cb using the font terminal in their posts


for some reason, basick, i can read that. Not clear, but it took me a while. :D

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

hmm. . .i've never seen anyone on cb with that kinda font o_O

[inthemudhole]

Yeah.
But you know what bugs me more?
When people change their font color to a really light gray or a soft, pastel-ish pink. It is SO hard to read on the background of the forum.

[__PASS10NAT3]

oops.. im one of those people who always uses terminal .. haha.. okayy.. ill stop using it now.. =)

[ITSBONKERS]

i don't really see people using it, but it's their choice. it is pretty annoying though.

[Brutalboy_sk8er]

I don't see it that often. But if they want to, no ones stopping htem =/

yea. I don't see it very often so I don't have a problem with it

on firefox with default text size:

...if you can't read that, either replace your monitor, or get some glasses -_-.

on firefox with text size increase +1:

...if you can't read that, you're blind.

...i don't know what the rest of you are doing with your firefoxes -_-.

[sadolakced acid]

i believe it's not just firefox, it's firefox and something about windows that makes the font (which is a microsoft font) not render correctly.

at any size smaller than that (what i posted) it looks like what basick posted.

and can you read that with ease?

[xsweetxcandyx]

you want people to recognize there posts i guess

[WrathOfOnigo]

Never seen that font before. But I guess it would be annoying? People do have rights though to choose what font they want to use.

[soulless727]

yeah i hate that

[rAwritsgWeg]

matbe cuz they think it looks cool...

[Eryi]

I thought it was because we didnt have the font on our computer.

[swe3ttemptasian]

I notice people do that. I get tired of changing font. But i can read it fine. Maybe they like their post to stand out in some way

yeah. I like... did that for a few posts.. but i got tired hehe

[TheSpoon]

i like terminal font. i just hate it when i'm using firefox.

[jaeman]

well, perhaps they just like the font? personally, i think it's too much work to change the font every single time you post. but that's just me.

Ditto.

I don't mind when people change their fonts though.

[vampireduster]

i do agree. it is hard to see
