Status: offline 		I have been known to skip hard to read posts, and I am sure there are many out there like me... I think people should consider this before posting in different fonts, colors, and small sizes on a forum... if people want to be read it makes sense to make it as easy as possible by making it easy on the eyes. I figure if a person is making it really hard to read them, they must not care to communicate all that much, but to each their own

Status: offline 		I certainly prefer black but not a big deal as long as I can see it. Pink for me is especially difficult to read and I will often skip past posts that are pink.

I must admit that people who use larger fonts then normal I take a negative view on. I can only come to the conclusion that they think they are more special or important then others and do this to physically demonstrate this.

My eyes are bad enough...they don't need anymore strain.

I have to agree on the small fonts and bad color choices of some posters. It's very painful to my eyes and most times I just skip the posts as it hurts less that way.

Ugh!  You guys are killing me!!!

I can read dark colors.  I will likely skip font that is too light, too small, or too big.  I often skip over paragraphs that are too long, and posts that are "Center" justified.  With so much to browse through, my eyes don't want to make the necessary adjustments.  Sometimes I will read it anyway and find a gem, but rarely.

Never read a long post yet that wasn't turgid in the extreme.
except mine of course

Yea, but the pink that you use...it's not too bad lol...you can actually read it pretty good, just like when Beth uses her purple
