Colored Text

So is typing in color what all the cool kids do now?!

Just noticed a trend of people using colored text in posts now thought i'd try it out. am i doing it right?

Yeah, you are. Looks just as stupid as when they do it.

Did you really have to start a thread about this?

maybe? i was bored.

FTFY. And yes, you're doing right.

Using colour in posts on the internet is a new trend ladies and gentlemen.

I have to be honest though I find it hilarious that something as simple as a slightly different colour in a post and a font change has caused this much wadded up underpants. You people are the most sensitive trolls I have ever met, and terrible ones at that :)

It makes what you stay stand out with colour, instead of content.

or in your case blend in with the white background of the forums, meh i guess i am trolling for a change, mostly because i was bored though, can honestly say probably the only time i've posted with the intention of doing so too. anyways back to bordem.

Hello red color text, now if only I could make your drip and smear down the page

I don't know about other people, but I just go right over colored text posts. I don't even bother with them.

Well thats a lie as the OP is in colour :)

ITT: People still have no @#$%ing idea what the word "troll" means.

Being mad at fucktarded colors doesn't make you a troll.
Using colors (More than highlighting specific text), doesn't make you a troll either. (Stupid. It make's you stupid)

ERMAHGERD, CERLERS!

Why make a thread crying about Colors again? Seriously It is just a different color text....

But luckily it's not pointless, and serves a purpose. It's a general topic in the general forums, talking about forum related things.

Be sure to blindly mash the report button like most do since you simply do not like the topic though.

This is "General Discussion", can be about anything really... In general.

I've never once reported a topic.

It serves no purpose, it was created out of boredom, thus it is pointless.

why is this thread still here? what is wrong with you people?

Aww you don't get irony, that's sweet.

lol, i got it and while i may have created this thread out of bordem (and might i add has it done well in entertaining) i still had a point, not that it matters but then again why take the extra effort to color a whole post? that question itself was not meant to be a troll though i did present it in a trollish manner.

1. I finally found something worse than the lime green! It feels like my eyes are trying to swim away in terror!
   
2. AWESOME!

honestly i perfer colored text posts over plain jane black on white. First off... it seperates the posts insyead of blending them in. Second, it adds a lil flavor to the poster in question. Third it looks less dull.

If you want stuff to pop out add a bit of color thats basic rule of graphic arts. Then again uncreative ppl cry at colors.... it scares them....

It also makes you look like a total douchebag depending on the color used.

Especially if you use white, to match the unique little snowflake that you are.

I have decided to adopt more colorful language in light of the (lack of) conversation good ole' #C35617

You could just set your web browser to override the color scheme of every page it displays anyway. I didn't even realize anyone was using different colors here, as my computer is set to force high contrast, so all my web pages use bright green text on a black background.

That's the way everything looks on my computer. I did it to stop the migraines of trying to read text offa lit lightbulb (since a bright white background with dark text has that effect), and because one forum I was on did an April Fool's joke of setting the entire forum to a bright pink Princess Peach theme with bright yellow text.

FireFox lets you do it in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Colors. You can specify colors to use for pages, and force the browser to enforce them, which will make all posts the same color if they bother you.

some alternate colors are ok. others strain the eyes to read. therefore many colored posts arent even read.

I go peepee standing up

I do the same, I also avoid reading just about anything from Rosina

Because I like teal and small text looks clean and concise to me. Sue me.
At least I don't make a point out of it, nor do I pretend to be better than anyone because of it. It's just personal preference -- that's all.

The small text also induces eyestrain on us poor farsighted people. =P

(What? thought I'd use orange since no one else was using it, except for some of the letters in the OP)

There are only so many colors, so we're going to have to start using new fonts too!

Perhaps he has an overly large screen.

I have a 24" screen. 1920x1080. I'm not wearing my glasses, and I can read small text just fine.

I can too. I can also hop to work on one leg. But I don't want to. Partly, because it's more annoying than walking should be, and partly because I'd look like a tool. Both points apply to your font as well.

I feel you're[anyone is?] making this into something bigger than it should be [versus my text boo] it's just text, and it's still being read one way or the other, so why should it really bother you? Just let it be. At least I try to post informative posts, versus other people's... questionable content.

Except it's not really being read, because it's annoying to do so. Using small text with a hard to read color is just being a unique little snowflake for the sake of being a snowflake.

Know who else is a snowflake? Rosina.
