So, Neopets finally disabled glowing and shadowed fonts on the neoboards...

[conuly]

Because that stuff is only visible in IE, and a lot of people would have white font surrounded by glowing stuff.

This led to a number of gems, and whining. Obviously, disabling something that only works in one browser is unfair to everybody, because "most" people use IE (most people I know don't, but they're too smart for the neoboards anyway... even if you know nothing of neopets, know this).

And, EoS, post your gem. Post it, post it! The one about how IE can be downloaded for free, and since kids are so tech savvy, they should be able to download it, so there's no reason for them to use anything that doesn't work (by working, she clearly means "show ugly fonts", because shadowed and glowing fonts ARE ugly).

You should see it in its original state, bad spelling intact. *shudders*

Now that I've seen it, I'm impressed you could make heads or tails of what she was saying! I just got "blah blah blah Explorer blah blah kids blah high-tech blah blah Mozilla blah blah". :-)
