why do some cb ppl type this way? Options

[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.

[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?

So sorry for the double post! ACK.

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 ..

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.

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.

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.. =)
