    Italics?

    Why are the "quoted" texts in the bubble in that very skinny font, and italics? I get a crick in my neck trying to slant my head to the side to read them, and nose prints on the monitor to see them.

    Could that be changed, or is it built into the software?
    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
    You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
    You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

    The only systemic solution is to make all text in the browser larger.

    I don't understand the problem!

    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    My eyes are not good, and they're not going to get better. I already have the font increased to a level that I can see the regular part of the threads, to the point that the headings at the top all run together. Polls are impossible to read as well.

    My problem is WHY? Why have the quotes appear as italics?

    Snuffy,

    Have you tried changing the "skin?" Or the view of the forum? You can change it in your settings. A diffrent color scheme may help with the contast and allow you to read the posts a little easier.

    Sure you do.

    About all that's left is to buy a larger monitor.
