pcur Posted October 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2018 The font they use to display posts is like a Gray3 color, and it's way too light for easy ready. All the surrounding frames and colors are distracting, and you have to force yourself to stay with the print. Gay (thank you, Gay!) posted in bold on another thread, and it was soooooo much easier to read. So, from now until they hopefully darken the font, I'm turning on the bold before I type. Just a Ctrl/B, and it's easier to read. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted October 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I dont seem to have any issues reading the base font. It seems to me all you are accomplishing is making your posts easier to read for yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofyfanatic Posted October 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2018 The font seems better then it did yesterday. I wonder if they updated the settings. Was VERY hard to read yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posts are very clear, others look like an inkjet printer that needs service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me all you are accomplishing is making your posts easier to read for yourself. Actually, I started doing it after I read on various threads how difficult it was to see by quite a few other posters on several boards. Plus, when I saw Gay's post it was obviously darker and brighter than the rest on the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but what I was inferring, is that your actions aren't really going to help you read my post. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was hoping we could all help each other out until they get the font fixed. You know that "B" at the top of the tool bar up there is one click................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamcruzin Posted October 17, 2018 #17 Share Posted October 17, 2018 You can change the font by size or color the same way you did before the change when you submit a post. Everything I see that is posted is clearly typed in black. The only thing I did was bump up the size of the text one click. On a mac you just have to click the large A in the tool bar for a larger font and the smaller A for a smaller font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnative Posted October 17, 2018 #18 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Not everyone has young eyes.....besides, posting in bold is a gentle statement that one does not appreciate the new font/size/etc. Edited October 17, 2018 by beachnative 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted October 17, 2018 #19 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I have decided also to post in Bold, but then I did before the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mr walker Posted October 18, 2018 #23 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So our little CC society is being split into two camps it seems - the bolders and the rest. So much for inclusiveness I am happy to read posts posted either way, but will the bolders boycott posts in regular font, and only read their fellow bolders posts? I guess I'll not know if the former, as they won't even read this post! FWIW, I can read it fine either way, and will not discriminate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am posting in bold to make it easier for other people read my posts, if they have trouble with the dim Gray3 font CC is using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
