nfortin Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Just a personal request please, but some correspondents are falling into the habit of replying IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Can I point out that such replies are extremely hard on the eye and I would suggest are therefore bad mannered. We may not all agree, but I for one would appreciate it if the use of all upper-case text could be discontinued. I rarely read such replies as its too much like hard work!

I rarely read such replies as its too much like hard work! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As a major culprit I apologise for the bad manners.The problem is the need to distinguish annotations from the text being replied to. I have now discovered how to use colour and /or italics to do this. Any preferences ? BAC
pcnd5584 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Preferably not yellow, orange or grey.... there is a lack of contrast against the white! Perhaps we could petition Mr. Mander to see if the creators of the board are able to load a communion wine-coloured font....

I think italics can also be a bit hard on the eye except for the odd word. Some people have used blue which seems quite readable to me.

I do use odd capitals for emphasis, but in computer jargon isn't it considered a bit forceful?

pcnd5584 Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Perhaps we could outlaw red, for the same reason. How about simply choosing a different typeface? Hmmm - Geneva and Optima look suspiciously like Arial sans-serif to me.

Guest Leathered-Lips Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Excuse me? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can anyone explain the different coloured handbags at the side of the messages. I can't find the list of what they mean. I think the pink ones are very fetching, but I don't like the blue ones quite so much.
