@Coquille- out of curiosity, what is your definition of "bold lettering?" What size font is too big and what size is acceptable? Just wondering for the future. My font is size "3." Is that too big or too small?

 

I know that I can't see squat when I try to read the posts on my phone. I turn the phone sideways but it's still way too small, even if I enlarge the screen with my fingers. Not worth the effort.

 

Please explain? Thanks!

Welcome to the human race.  You're red meat at this point, babe.  You are being asked to give your personal comfort rules about posting - what exactly YOU would like.

 

Ignore it all.

@sunala What I should have said was posting all capital letters in a large font that takes up 3/4 of the page. TrinityII pointed out to me, the fact that some people can't see as well and that could be the reason for posting like that, as you have posted. I didn't think about that and that was my mistake. I am sure I can learn something new every day.

@stuyvesant Thanks. It doesn't bother me. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it. Thanks again.

GUILTY!!

I tend to use those dots, but I don't think I use them too much.....see?.....just maybe now and again.  I don't even know how or why I started using them. 

 

It is funny what annoys us, and what doesn't.  I don't mind at all when people use bold font, or different colors, but I hate it when posters write long, long posts in only one paragraph.  I just find it harder to read, when the thoughts aren't broken up into segments.

To me, @sunala, you and your font are absolutely perfect👌

 

I use the 3, too.

Nothing like assuming something negative.  Guess you never thought that bold type may be due to vision challenges.
