Hi Guy(s),

Hope you had a sterling start this year!

Was wondering, could Italic text be added, the slanted letters?
It would help to highlight or emphasize some words, better than THIS being the ONLY option I think... screaming isn't polite ;-)
Others may ask for the Underline(d) lettering but I think such may be confusing more than aiding, however suit yourself.

*toungue in* is better though Bluetjie, or innit?
OK, *toungue on* is also fine with me :))


But, thank you for *highlighting* my point made!

@chmoks ALL CAPS ISNT SCREAMING SILLY - ITS JUST TEXT ON A SCREEN!

Most sites don't allow you to embed HTML for security reasons and using normal text to delimit what you want in italics, *like this*, has it's problems too. Just use *stars* for emphasis - it get the point across without needing italics which, on small devices, is very difficult to read.

I am not sure but I think that the slanted text is used by ESA Admin if they remove or edit a punters text, like if they remove a tel no or a address and then the slanted text is used to notify us that admin edit the post.

Oraljim,

html-dysknowledged here, I thought it is just a different font?
But whatever, James will know how to trick it, as far as I get it they write their own rather than using a (modified) template for these screens.
Mind, if it proves risky or a load of work he'll tell me to poss iff, and right he is then ;-)
But, bottom line remains it would look better I think!
