If you mean the OP name, it depends on the number of posts they have.  The posters with fewer posts will have their names in lighter print.  Posters with more posts will be in bold print.


@geezerette. Everybody's name is in bold print on my tablet whether they have 1 post or 10,000.

Same here.  ALL posters' screen names are bold on my devices. 

 

No wonder I didn't understand the original question.  lol  Woman LOL

@geezerette   So what's the magic number?  You have over 16,000 posts and I see Bird mama has over 40,000.  She does have that one capital         but your name has none.   Seems to me you have also contributed very well to this site already.

 


@millieshops 

The OP is asking about bold type, not CAPITALS. When a poster chooses their name, they decide whether they want any capitals. @geezerette choose to write her name in all lower case, but @Bird mama put a capital at the beginning of hers.  So capitals have nothing to do with how much a poster has contributed to this site.

Not on mine. Those with just a few posts are in regular type, those with more posts have bolded type.  In the "View All Forum Topics" view.

I don't know the magic number.  It's like the magic numbers denoting the different status of each poster.  Like you are an "Honored Contributor".

Re: why are some names bold???

@alohakz,

I think you are asking (like you said!) why are some NAMES, not TITLES in bold and some not? right?

Sorry we all are a little slow or confusing lol! My first answer was maybe not want you were asking, I see now.

But I don't have any names in lighter print either. They are all in bold.

I only have titles lighter than others-the ones I read.

So I don't know the answer either.

Re: why are some names bold???

the names that i see that are NOT in bolder print are "newer" posters with fewer posts. i see this all the time on the boards when looking at the entire list of posts once i go into the category i am browsing. it has been this way for a long time. i access the forums via my laptop.
