Imperfection Is Beauty, Madness is Genius



That happened to me in the quests and charity forum as well as the freebie's forum. They can be very annoying which is why i tend to keep mine fairly simple =]



And It's better to be Absolutely Ridiculous Than Absolutely Boring

I really dislike formats that are like, huge walls of code to pop into the TekTek toolbar. Song lyrics, rainbow gradients, 987234 images...
gaaaaag.
I don't think mine's too intolerable.

Scromlette:
I don't mind yours too much. Not really fond of the definition of literature you stuck in there, but eh, whatever floats your boat~
HOLY GOODNIGHT!

'Stuff' like pictures and whatnot doesn't bother me, though overlarge text is just annoying. Furthermore, if the text is too small or light, it's nigh impossible to read, that truly annoys me. -_-

I used to use a bulkier post style, but I finagled with some things and cut the picture down into my sig after a short string of complaints. My current one is nice and simple, but it catches your eye, particularly if you're a fan of Timmy. XD

You put a child in a barrel of toxic
waste
? That's barbaric!

I think they're fine as long as you can tell them apart from the actual post. I mean some of those in the A/M/C.... burning_eyes





Also I love my Whimsur. Don't diss.

Shiver`
User ImageUser ImageHuge Post formats - When the art they use is larger than what they post its just annoying. Keep. It. Simple. Stupid (and whats with all the ugly large avi art lately?! If your going to be obnoxious at least make it look good. User Image )

If its large I will adblock the large images regardless of quality.


Now for color.... light colors I will 99% of the time just skip. I don't even want to waste a second highlighting their post just so I can read it.


Well, ********. Mebbe nobody should have images in their posts then?

I still remember getting my post art redlined a few years back for no good reason... sweatdrop
Rofl, I don't read those.

I have a hell of a time trying to figure out which part is the actual post, sometimes though. burning_eyes

To Whom It May Concern,


I see these all the time.

I like simple and sweet post styles.

I mostly hate when you quote them you have to scroll through a million pages of code almost.

It's insane.


Sincerely,
Xenmas

There was a time I went into the AMC. Rows of LJ icons, random quotes and lyrics, and worst of all, they were quoting someone who was quoting them. DOUBLE THE BAD POST STYLE. D; I like to think that my post style is not on the same level as that.

I keep mine nice and simple. It makes it easier for people to read and it makes me look intelligent (even though I'm not).

One time, I was in a thread where people who had ridiculous posting styles were quoting each other. Imagine post styles with a row of icons, lyrics, coloured text, one line of actual discussion, more lyrics and more icons, repeated over 15 times on a single page.
I don't have much problem except when they're colored a hundred different shades of neon o.o
I even enlarge my posts.
If you can't read this, you're blind my friend :3

Mine? XD

The flob is a gift from a very dear friend, though, so I'd loathe to take it off.

There are people who post a WALL of song lyrics in a dark color, post their one-sentence comment in a color and/or size that I have to strain to read, followed by ANOTHER wall of text at the bottom.

WHY?

My posts are annoying, yes-- I mean, look at that graphic.
LOOK AT IT. YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.
But at least they're readable.


I like the way you post. Interesting
post styles are dumb, if you can't get attention from the actual words you say , not the "style", you shouldnt be posting at all.
If I come upon a thread with a long wordy first post I usually go onto the next thread. I don't have the patience to read it especially if its a repeat topic. xd
