USING ALL CAPS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED

Sat, 04/05/2008 - 19:51
Topic: Epilepsy.com Help
HI EPI, I WONDER IF YOU COULD DO SOME DAMAGE CONTROL OR IF I SHOULD EMAIL WARREN SO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS THAT, LIKE ME, THERE ARE VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE ON THIS SITE WHO NEED ALL CAPS, REGARDLESS OF HOW OUR COMPUTERS ARE ACCESSORIZED? IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP. SOME PEOPLE, LIKE MY FRIEND, BANFFGIRL HAVE PEOPLE ACCUSING HER OF YELLING AT THEM BECAUSE SHE IS USING ALL CAPS SO I AND OTHERS CAN SEE. ANY HELP WOULD REALLY BE APPRECIATED. THINGS ARE GETTING PRETTY UGLY HERE. THANKS A BUNCH, HOPE YOU ARE WELL, BLESSINGS, JAN

HEY EPI, I THINK THE CONFUSION IS PRETTY WELL CLEARED UP! HOWEVER, I DO THINK, SINCE I SEEM TO BE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS VISUALLY IMPAIRED, THAT EVERYONE USING ALL CAPS FOR ONE PERSON WOULD BE SILLY!  I HAVE I ALSO THOUGHT THAT THIS SITE WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED AGAIN, BECAUSE IT TAKES UP MORE SPACE WHEN USING ALL CAPS! I PUT THAT THERE SO PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT BANFF WASN'T YELLING, NOT SO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY WOULD USE ALL CAPS! WHILE I DO GREATLY APPRECIATE IT, I WAS TOLD THERE WERE TWO MAGNIFIERS I COULD USE........SO MAYBE THERE ARE MORE VISUALLY IMPAIRED FOR ME! A REAL AHA MOMENT THERE! THANKS FOR YOU HELP AND CONSTANT CARING. JAN  

 I USE ALL CAPS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED. 

I AM YOUNGER THAN I LOOK, OLDER THAN I THINK, AND WISER THAN I KNOW......
