Amen Saz. Say no to colored posts in silly colors! Grr, they make your eyes cry floods!!! Not really but it is a pain to read long posts in red to brown for instance or black, or some goblin green variant.. Your post probably will miss alot of readers since it doesn´t feel worth the strining. Thats my 2 cents at least. I don´t read any colored posts that isn´t nicely done at least. Not worth it, so you don´t get attention from that at least.

<font color=lightblue> ~bounces in~

Hmmm.. I think this colour better expresses me! *grynz* though I'd go for a certain shade of electric blue if I could find one! Guess it's just an extension of me ~beaming~

*huggles all the wondeful Mods for doing such an amazing job* You guys are saints! ~cuddles~

Uhoh... my colour doesn't hurt your eyes does it?

p.s. btw, is it possible to do anything about my avatar? I positively object to having blood running down my head! ~shudders~

Just spam the living daylights outta the place. Only 26 more posts to go until you're a Manshoon, whatever that may be.

Just kidding about the spamming, of course. :D

But I always thought that those blue lines were tattoos. Either that, or the ugly guy is royalty.

<font color="cyan">Hmmm, well.

I think everyone of my 1400 posts has been made using the same colour for the post.......and I don't think I am changing!

Also, another rule to the top. You cant use my colour!!!!

It's &copy; of me!</font>

truthfully? I don't bother with it

You copyrighted Cyan? Like, I'm so sure! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Eternity, your post color is fine, as is Lav's and most others. It's just when people use a dark color on a dark background that it really strains the eyes. (I have to get on my students about that as well when they start fooling around with colors in Excel).

I'm de-topping the thread now; I think everyone got the point, although I may bump it again if needed. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cheers,

*holds up sign* 'just say no to colorful posts'

honestly after reading the colorful posts, I get a severe headache afterwards.

<font color = lightgreen>Or perhaps we simply prefer posting in color. I haven't received any specific complaints, but then again I have neither posted as much as some people here nor would most people here lodge specific complaints. Also, I would never choose offensive colors (even though light green and brown really aren't compatible, but that is neither here nor there).</font>

Your font colour is fine [img]smile.gif[/img] The colours that are the subject of this post would be like /)eathkiller's post further up the page ;)
