I am struggling to read an comprehend the posts that are typed in capitals.
Must be getting old but could we stick to lower case where possible please.

I was saying to Pauline at the Christmas do that on the holiday forum i belong to we are not allowed to post in capitals or phone text speak.
They say that some sort of reader that partially sighted people use cannot pick these up. I dont understand but just follow the rules. :)

I can't read a post in all capitals, my eyes can't focus on the words properly.

I think I can change the settings to prevent SHOUTING! but if I do then of course you wouldn't be able to shout when you really wanted to :laughing:

Maybe we need a shouting icon on the smilies :D
It isn't the odd word I struggle with it is the whole paragraph

i dont like it when people type line after line and dont leave a line space in
the middle, it goes all blurry and i stop reading, can we fix that as well

I'm the same! I can't read posts where people don't use paragraphs because it's too confusing and my eyes can't read it properly - if that makes sense!
I've not really thought about reading typing all in caps - I think it's because I haven't come across a message like that. Now I've thought about it though, it probably would be difficult to read.

I just type the way I was taught all those years ago - I was a legal secretary and I would have had my fingers chopped of if I typed in double line spacing except when starting a new paragraph!!!!
