Dave in Green Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'd like to report a problem I've been experiencing recently with my posts. I've variously used italics or boldface to separate direct story quotes from my comments. A number of times now when I've gone back to look at my posts, the italics or boldface has disappeared. I've never had this problem on any of the many other forums I've posted on, so don't quite know what to think. Maybe the resident software guru can figure it out.

Dr Z Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 How to effectively use bold fonts. Use restraint when using bold type. Whole paragraphs of text set in bold type are hard to read. The reason bold type creates emphasis is that it slows down the reader and forces their eye to really take in the words more carefully. But if you slow them down too much they may just skip over what you have to say. Try using the quote tag (located three over from the 'Insert Link' button) when you have large areas to quote. If you don't know how to do it, here is all you have to do. First, highlight the text that you would like to quote, then click on the quote tag button. It's that simple.
