I can't be the only one who thinks this, right?

[Hound00med]

Am I the only one who despises the pastel colours that some people use?

These ones

I mean my eyesight is hardly the best, but some of the colours are so bright they practically fade into the white boxes and become illegible.

Oh, and the people who write in size 1 font as well may as well just have a giant middle finger in the middle of their post, because it's totally illegible for me.

Is it just me? I don't know, but it's got on my nerves for ages, and it seems the use of these frustrating colours and font sizes is getting more common.

Yes I already have bad eyesight so trying to read those just don't work out and I miss out something important because of it.

I think the pink is rather cute, but I agree with the cyan color. It's kinda hard on the eyes.

 

[Javocado]

But without those pastel colors the kawaii weaboo cycling thread will lose business!!!!

eye don't know about alls of you, but that color x font combo <censored> sucks

I really like it Sean, stop being a hater.

LOL, but I agree - majority of the time I have to highlight the post to read it.

 

[oath2order]

I don't see a problem with them.​

 

[Alienfish]

Cyan and yellow are the worst. I already have strong glasses still they are somewhat hard to read so I agree. Well you can always highlight them with your mouse.. But yeah

this is hard for me to read

I want to see the world through the eyes of the people who post in tiny brightly colored font.

 

[Yui Z]

I hate theme text (or whatever they like to call it) in general. To be honest, I just ignore their posts because I can't be bothered with it.

 

[LambdaDelta]

no its obnoxious and annoying

every time I see a post like that I get the urge to yell at them about not making their text conflict with the background so its actually completely legible without straining the reader's eyes

something that they should've by all means learned in middle school

exception to whitetext because that's meant to be hidden. also best

the best part about this one is that highlighting actually makes it even more illegible

It's not obnoxious; what are you talking about uvu​

 

[Pietro:)100]

I dislike the grey colour some people use.like this I see it quite a lot in shops for some reason?!

 

[oath2order]

You're right, I've seen that one​

quite a bit. Weird how some​

tend to keep popping up.​

 

[cIementine]

I usually type in size one font because for some reason the regular text doesn't look right to me?? People to exaggerate the size difference. If you're that desperate to see my post, zoom in. I don't bother with the colours, the light ones are ridiculous. Pastel colours are for weebs and neon colours are for 10 year old trolls.

 

[LambdaDelta]

size one is fine if its plain text color imo. or failing that some other bold color that doesn't clash at least

[Chibiusa]

I really don't understand why people use pastel text on an already bright forum. I'll end up ignoring what they say because I don't want to strain my eyes.

 

[infinikitten]

If the background were darker I wouldn't mind, but it's stark white. There's no reason to use bright flippin cyan or yellow; things like that only cause eye strain and headaches for the readers. The pink I can make out alright but it's still... pushing it. I would honestly prefer the rainbow text to the very light colored stuff with zero contrast - I can at least READ the rainbow text, y'know?

 

[lazuli]

when will the pastel text posters change their colours to this lovely selection
