Is there a setting so that when I rad posts, the text is all in black? Some people use red text and it hurts my eyes a lot.

    Nope. You'll read whatever colour a poster types in.

    You can rad posts in black by turning the colour settings on your monitor to monochrome.

    I agree. There is nothing more annoying than pastel coloured text.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    I hate pink text especially when people post in large bold pink

    Selecting all the text may make it easier to read, but obviously it's a bit annoying to have to do that.

    I was told (not on here) to do that before. It makes no difference at all.

    It makes no difference? It reverses the colours!

    Well using post #2 above as an example, at least all the text appears in the same colour, white on a dark blue background for me - but that may depend on your specific settings.

    I guess you could also play around with Control Panel > Accessibility Options > Display > High Contrast settings, but again that's probably not what you're after.

    It doesn't - not on mine anyway.

    Do you know what 'selecting' text means?
