The Highway Forums Resources HELP Forum Quotes

I have been noticing that many quotes given in posts are now on a field of blue, and in the tiniest possible lettering. Is there a way to remedy this? My eyes just can't cope with it, not even with my old-fogey glasses.

E_F_Grant,

I sympathize with your difficulty in this matter. The problem for me is that we have a variety of stylesheets which are being used; 14 now I think? Each has a different size font face and size. The "quote" feature is determined by a global setting which effects all the stylesheets the same. However, I might try changing the stylesheet you are using to see if the global settings would be overridden. So, I'm willing to give that a try if you would kindly tell me which stylesheet you are currently using. I'm going to assume that it is either the "Desert (large font)" or "Blue Daze (large font)".

OOOOOOOOOOOOkay...how do I tell you what stylesheet I am using? Haven't got the faintest idea....

E_F_Grant,



In His Grace,

OK, I'll try to follow your directions. No guarantees! In looking at the font again, I do see that it is the smae size. But it is more compressed in that there is less white space. (I'm a graphic designer by training) Usually, a serif typeface is supposed to be more easy to read, but somehow I am not sure that that does not change with reading text on a computer. The sans serif of a regular post is definitely easier to read for me. In any case, my eyes are not really THAT bad. I just have a hard time reading things online for very long...<br><br>OK, so I made the switch to "Blue Daze/ large Font"; we'll see how that goes for awhile.<br><br>Do you manage this whole deal? If so, my hat is off to you. Is this a part of ICQ?

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Do you manage this whole deal? If so, my hat is off to you. Is this a part of ICQ?</font><hr></blockquote><p> Yes, I "manage the whole deal" with a little help from my friends. The website and this board and the IRC chatroom are my doing and responsibility. Now, why would you ask about these things being part of ICQ? ICQ is totally unrelated to anything here.<br><br>As to this font problem. What I can do is change the font face to something other than it is right now. Let me play around with that idea a bit. But again, you have to remember that there are people who use PC's and also MAC's and even some who are using WebTV. So, I can't use a specific font only as they are not compatible across the board. .

why would you ask about these things being part of ICQ?<br><br>Seems a while ago I saw something about an ICQ user's number or something to that effect. But I can't recall if it was here or at another Forum. ICQ is so seemingly huge to me that I'd not be surprised of somehow I was participating in one of their forums. Given all that I know about the Net, which can be summed up here_____.!<br><br>A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So no knowledge must be lethal!

Aaaaaaaah! okay..... Yes, in the "Users List" there is a column where a member's ICQ is either displayed or an icon to tell you if they are online. Also, this is supposed to be displayed in the "Who's Online". But lately, something is afoul with that feature from ICQ. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But The Highway and ICQ are TOTALLY unrelated. This is a Christian site!
