Sorry to all LIW

[MissErin]

I was told in another post that my font is "distracting" and I just want to send out a public apology for being annoying with my font. I will stop using the colored fonts with my postings.

Again - to all the LIW - I am deeply sorry for being awful with my font.

I love pink,,so it didn''t bother me.

 

[Miscka]

Aw, MissErin, please don''t worry about it. Just most people use regular font around here. But I am sure Nebe didn''t mean to hurt your feelings. Your bubbly and positive attitude will come through no matter what font you choose. And I haven''t had a chance to say welcome, so welcome

 

[Cleopatra]

Ha! You weren''t annoying with your font! I liked it! It brought color and pizazz to the forum! hehe

 

[Cleopatra]

P.S. You can change fonts for a reason on this forum. If our posts were *supposed* to all look alike, we wouldn''t have the option!

I''m just too lazy to change mine

 

[Kaleigh]

I liked the pink!!!

 

[MissErin]

Thank you ladies but I feel terrible stepping on peoples toes...and Nebe seemed to be really offended so I''ll just keep things happy and leave my personality out of these posts...

I am new and don''t understand people get mad about things like font.

Miss Erin, I just wanted to tell you that we love having you around here pink or no pink!

 

[sunnyd]

people shouldn''t get mad about font... seems like something very strange to get mad about. i always recognize your posts by your font! (avatar too, but, you know...)

pink on sister!!

 

[beesknees]

I don''t see any need to apologize or change your font and color. Be yourself and don''t worry about what other people say! It''s good to be different.

 

[CrookedRock]

These boards are about expressing yourself and your opinions! If you want to post like that, GO FOR IT! I agree, I always know it's you!

If someone told you they didn't like your opinion, would you change it? Didn't think so!

 

[BriBee]

Ditto to everything said above. I didn''t even realize I could change my font....Until I saw yours!!!

 

[Sassee]

He he - you are very sweet. I am far too computer illiterate to even know how to change the fonts!! I think the pink is cute and obviously reflects your personality. Maybe you can compensate by using lots of emoticons!!!

 

[nebe]

Oh I didn''t mean to make you feel bad!!

I don''t mind the colors at all or anything, it''s just the size that throws off the style of my IE. Maybe it''s just my computer????

I''m all for expression and doing your thing, I didn''t mean to offend YOU! The fact that the internet doesn''t translate emotion made it seem like a bigger problem than it was.

Do your thing hun, it''s not a big deal.

I think nebe maybe a little on edge at the mo, personally I loved the pink...in fact why don''t I ever use color?

I liked the pink and the font--bring it back! (just stick to left justified, please

)

That is kinda true. I''ve been wicked hyped up since the accident.

 

[DMBsGirl]

Well, I love using different colored fonts as well, as you can probably tell from my multi-colored LIW lists! Don''t feel bad!

 

[ringplease]

i loved the pink. ditto with all the rest- keep using the pink!!

i don''t think nebe was mad or offended by the font, she just said it was distracting. distracting as in the flower girl picking up flower petals during the ceremony distracting, not T-rex busting down your house while you''re trying to do homework distracting. please don''t take it so personally - you''ll never make it out of pricescope alive!

 

[bee*]

Yeah don''t worry about it!! Use whatever colour you wish!

 

[mirre]

Ok MissErin I think it''s settled... Back to pink it is!

I love pink too!

I don''t know why I don''t change my fonts either... I guess it''s just faster to type and hit send.

 

[MissErin]

Thanks ladies!! The pink is back and so am I. thank you for all the kind words. I feel MUCH better.

 

[MissErin]

I just came to find that my posts are usually ignored due to the pink color. I know some of you like it, but for respect to those who don''t I am retiring the pink font color for good.

I write on here to have people read my thoughts, but as I have come to find out, it actually repells people from my posting and thus does just the opposite of what I wanted.

So hopefully now my posts will be read and I won''t bother anyone anymore...

Sorry to the LIW''s and others. The pink is now done.

 

[meresal]

How did you come to the conclusion that ppl are ignoring your posts? Did someone write about it somehwere?

 

[MissErin]

Yes and I know they were just being honest with me. I am not mad, just a little bit sad. But in the long run, it''s better to hear the truth then not to know. Not to mention, I really don''t like conflict if it can be avoided. So if this helps avoid it, then it is what needs to happen.

 

[surfgirl]

Erin, I''m happy to see that I will now be able to read your posts more easily. On the one hand, it''s not that big a deal, but if it is preventing some from even reading your posts in the first place, then I''m personally glad that I''ll be able to read your musing more easily!

 

[MissErin]

Yes...I suppose.

 

[meresal]

This forum is just like life...

You''re not going to please everyone, and you''ll just kill your self trying if you don''t do what makes you happy. To be completely honest, I wasn''t a huge fan of the pink but if it''s what makes you happy then by all means use it. I myself am 23 also but the bright pink is something that kind of states a younger outlook. Maybe people just see the color and think that since you are younger, maybe they automatically write your opinions off as immature.

From my point of view it has nothing to do with you as a person, it just has to do with how you portray yourself. What if you try using the pink... just in a smaller font?? To me, it''s the size of your font that bothers me more than the color. If you feel uncomfortable using the pink, try something else that makes you smile!!!

Just do what makes you happy!!!

 

[MissErin]

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate your opinions. And even though I am aware that it is near impossible to appease everyone, I would rather try then not. As far as the age depiction goes, I see your point and to be honest, I am saddened that people would judge over a font color and size. Yet, that is the truth and I need to gain perspective on it rather then ignore it.

So thank you to everyone who has let me know how they feel about the color and size of my font. I am going to leave it at the default setting so I do not appear younger and so I do not distract other posters from my words. Hopefully this will remedy the situation and people will enjoy my writing a little more.
