You know, Virgil, if you didn't want to do the Peter Walsh organizational challenges, you could have just ignored them.

Oh I can clearly see that a mod is very bored. Your marquee font color sucks btw and the size is atrocious. The ultra violet is the new hot color. Pantone or something like that decided. For me in clothes, it's so 2 years or more ago. |

Maybe some people are getting older and small print is harder to read, so maybe they appreciate the thoughtfulness of posters who use a larger font and bold print. Maybe some people might be having a bad day and find bright colors and bold print cheering.
Did you think of any of that? No. You only think of yourself. |

Did you think of any of that? No. You only think of yourself. A fair point.  But of course anyone with poor eyesight and a modicum of technical know-how will have availed themselves of the zoom and/or text enlargement features of their browser, and can you imagine what these massive fonts look like then? A single 'W' will fill up their entire screen! Won't somebody think of the hyperopic children!?  |

Yeah, I guess most people are squinting away at their phones these days. Although I have no difficulty reading small print whatsoever, I still detest browsing on a phone, without a keyboard and wonderful expansive monitor. Mobile browsing is for the birds.  |

Browsers of every stripe have zooming, font magnification, "print views" that strip out most images, and other features. If nobody has specifically requested a large-font theme, don't invest the effort. I know Moon was worried about having too many themes cluttering up the board years ago. |

This has gone way beyond ridiculous and by a mod of all people. Why do you assume Virgil was posting as a mod? I have been criticized for thinking mmhmm or chiver were responding to posts as mods when they were posting as "posters". I guess the critiera for Virgil is a little steeper. |

I don't care what size font is used. If someone enjoys playing with font size I'm all for it. Be happy!  |

Personally, I prefer a larger size font, in a fun color. → → → Why be normal boring?

Who uses a mouse anymore? I attached an external mouse to my laptop. The touchpad stopped working. I have tremors. One time when I wasn't using a mouse, I accidentally deleted a needed part of a program by tapping twice when I didn't mean to. I prefer my desktop with a mouse. Hey Virgil, how's your quest coming along? |

Hey Virgil, how's your quest coming along? Good so far. No reports of massive font farts (outside this thread) for a full week now. We may be past the worst of it. *knocks on wood* |

NEVER POSTS A COMMENT WITHOUT ONE!!!!!! (also please note just for the record....the dude from Wyoming has NO clue how to change font size, in fact he still confuses "font" with those ornate marble things that contain water in Rome, ) |
