    Like some people type in Yellow, pink, white etc...

    It really isnt fun to high light the whole post. Just to read it, you know??? I seen a couple users do this. It is rather annoying.
     
    Maybe you could switch your theme or something. You could also just tell others that their font is illegible. I happen to do that a lot to other people, but yeah, if someone complains about it I usually stop.
     
    Mr. Enyce can scroll over with the mouse and highlight the words to solve the problem. Naminé sees that a white color may not be readible for Mr. Enyce, but the poster maybe using a dark color background and to him/her, the white may really boost the posts' readability.
     
    It's just as simple as switching themes.

    Colour is nothing; it's the content that matters. There should be a bunch of draconian rules regarding illegibile text in general; basically, crack down on the n00bs as swiftly and as harshly as humanly possible.

    Err... I guess. I had no idea this forum had different background colors...

    Check the southmost scrollbar. It'll change the theme ^^

    Yeah I see, I changed it to, midnight misty.

    I can see everything now...
     
    Highlighting it is nothing. I have few problems with the colours.
     
    Just what we need-yet another stupid annoying pointless rule on how we make our posts! Besides, how can it be enforced when there are dozens of themes, some with black text backgrounds, some with blue, white, or whatever?

    I agree. It's a free country. (Or forum?) We can use whatever font color we want. But if it's a n00bish person who types in l33t and chat speak and types in a bright color, that's too much.
     
    If we only had light-coloured or dark-coloured themes as opposed to both, I can see putting in some sort of guidelines about posting colours. But as it is now, we have a lot of members who use our darker themes and a lot of members who use our lighter ones. So some colours that are easily readable on a dark theme cause problems on lighter ones and vice versa. Basically, the only way to really solve it would be to take out the colour tag altogether, but no one wants that, so the best fix is to just highlight text you can't read or switch your theme. ^_^;
     
    Yes....Midnight Misty is a good choice...I used that one all the time, until recently. I just switched it to Pokemon Rangers...
    but Midnight Misty was easier on the eyes...
