Thread post text bodies are bolded. The whole thing 'shouts' at you. Why was this changed? It's irritating.

I think it was a glitch as the post I'm responding to right now is not. It was happening to me earlier and I disliked it strongly as I often respond to a post and bold the part I'm responding to but leave the rest for context.

Whenever it happens, the excessive use of bolding, colors, indents, underlinings, and so on just comes across as kaleidoscopic to my eyes, so I pass that post by.

It made it easier for me to read so I wasn't going to complain.

Every post was bolded for a time. Crazy.

But, but, that's like saying "I could read better by the light of that house fire, so I didn't call the fire department." ^_^

I'm SURE bold italic would work well.
True, or better
Well at least bold text isn't as bad a text with too many colors.

To bad they don't still have pong, move, updown , ect :)
