Re: Excessive use of bold text

As I have a sneaking impression that most of this is directed at me. And, bye the bye, I am not angry, annoyed, upset, disgruntled, mad, or anything else. With the fact(s), that they (caps and or bold type) are annoying, being brought to my attention. They are your opinions. And everyone is in titled to them. Since is seems that the use of emphasis is questionable and or annoying. I shall, cease and desist. Except for my Lurk Report. Then anyone that finds bold face or caps offensive, in any form, can just not read it.

My deepest apologies, for offending, upsetting or annoying!!

That's a good point! I agree totally.

Kirby: Exactly.

mlmbd: I was hardly offended or upset by the boldface, but it can be a little hard on the eyes....

Anyway, the Lurk Report is your baby, so run with it!

And this is why I love this board-- that things can be worked out civilly without flames! (I was about to say maturely, but I can't even type it with a straight face.

[glow=yellow]HOW ABOUT BOLD ITALIC UNDERLINE GLOWING RED TEXT???[/glow]

... hmm, I wonder if this forum even supports underline or glowing, maybe that's only at Infogrames' forums...

Hmmm, don't look like it does.
I tried the HTML Version of the code but it doesn't work. Even though the bold and italics and underline HTML codes work on here.

So to get what you wanted would be.
"SOMETHING LIKE THIS. RIGHT? OR IS THERE MORE TO IT BESIDES ADDING THE GLOW AND THE COLOR?"
I don't know if there is a UBB Version of the < font color="whatever" > code or not. Probably is I just don't know it.
