SOMETIMES ALL CAPS ARE USED BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO INCREASE FONT SIZE. THE INTENT IS TO MAKE WORDS EASIER TO READ.

Actually it is funny how some think it is easier to read when it is all caps. In reality it makes it harder for many to read it that way. I don't take it as yelling even though many do. To me it is just harder to read at times. And I don't like it when they cap certain letters as they go along just to get your attention to that word that to me is worse then all caps..... But........if it is done with a short sentence it does not really bother me that much.

In addition to my prior post, font sizes can be changed, by using bb codes. You have to open it with [size=] and close it with [/size] *without the asterisks. I think the font size allows from 8 to 20 pixels. This is 15 pixels.

WHICH DO YOU PREFER TO READ? which do you prefer to read? WhIcH dO yOu PrEfEr To ReAd? I prefer it not in all caps, I feel yelled at. As to the other as long as I can understand it for the most part, people should write how they wish. Yes, Lex, even with wrong spelling, puntuation and grammar.

I prefer CAPS where they belong. Number 1 and 3 just annoy me.
