I used blue on Taldren, and I do it here.

I notice someone else recently started to do this also, always a copy-cat somewhere along the line.

Personally, I'm kind of partial to PURPLE, Green and Orange

I do it for a reason, it makes it easy to find my own posts in threads.

The author has a point, and I'm trying to prove it further by seeing if you guys can see this.  I mean, with a black background and black font, can you seriously read this without highlighting the text on here?  I mean, sure, blue can be useful to find your posts but, it also makes people squint and take longer to read posts.  (Back to the default color.)

The normal default text color does fine, and I read faster that way.  But if you like to use blue though, there's nothing I can do to stop you.  That's your right, your preference and I shouldn't bad-mouth anyone for that reason.  Here's a good color.  I claim it!  As I keep thinking, the idea of color-coding your posts to find them is not such a bad idea... :P

I think this thread'll die very quick, not much relevance came out of it. :)

You could try a different color in that case.[/b]

Maybe green?

sigh

Actually, on black, I'm pretty sure the colours yellow, orange and red would have the best effect.

Of course, there's always Kroma!

Question for Age and Chris SI.  Are either of you using Macs or using other than the standard black background for the forum?
