[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 5178984, member: 27832"]As others have said, you should try changing your browser settings to make all text bigger. That will help you read [I]everything[/I], not just stuff you've typed. There are also fonts that work better for low vision, but setting them up to override what's specified on a page gets complicated. I wish you luck on this. One of my big fears is losing enough vision to make reading difficult. I'm not sure how I'd cope with that. :( All-caps is fine for [I]short[/I] bits of text. As you say, in some cases it's more readable than mixed-case. For sentences and paragraphs, though, mixed-case is easier for nearly everyone to read, because it gives extra cues about sentence structure (as well as proper names, acronyms, and so forth). Yeah, there comes a point at which you simply do what you have to do. Just keep in mind that it [I]does[/I] make a big difference in how people [I]interpret[/I] your posts, and how likely they are to read and understand the whole post.[/QUOTE]
