Posting In Colors That Aren't Standard

Post by Abraham »

I see posts popping up with bright green or blue. (not the standard blue you see when simply posting)

I wonder, am I the only one who can't read them for the eye pain they cause?

You?

Javier730,

Yes, that appears to be the green I can't read for much more than a sentence or two.

Then, I can't read any further. It's just too bright for me ole peepers.

Plus, why is posting in this garish (for me) color necessary?

What's wrong with the standard color that comes with ordinary posting?

I dont know. Maybe they want to stand out. I understand highlighting a specific words or sentences, but everything you type? ITS MADNESS!!! :willynilly:

High lite the text & it will appear white & easier to read

I'm wondering how many of the folks using the colored text also have neon green cerakoted guns or Punisher skull grips on their nickel plated Berettas

And on a medium blue background to boot. I was going to mention this little trick, but you beat me to it.
