What do you mean Bill?

Good idea, I always get the idea that caps means shouting.
Red will grab peoples attention without making them think you are mad.

Using all caps = shouting. People who shout tend to get ignored.

It's also a good idea to break posts into paragraphs, for ease of reading.

Next time just type normally, nobody gets ignored unless they have nothing interesting to say. Nobody needs to type in capitals, or red, if what they are saying is interesting.

I think we try to read all the messages in the topics we are reading.
Only after we decide if it is worth going on about...

If you want your text to be red Playmo1989 you just type something, highlight it, and go to where all the smiley faces are.
Then you go up untill you see some buttons, one should be a giant B, and another a u that looks like: U
On the same row to the left there will be a box that says "same color" click the arrow and choose whatever color you want that is there. The finished product looks red. ;)

Hope I was helpful.

i think if we start using capital, different font sizes and strong colours like red , this forum might lose some of its friendliness and ease. And i reckon many members ( including me for sure) wont like that at all .... we are all here cause we love playmobil, share views and pictures , help each other with their klicky questions etc, etc , dont think there is any need to go down the strong debate roads etc etc . Peace fellow members, its only  playmobil and we love it  0) 0) 0) 0) 0) 0) 0) 0) 0) 0) 0)

Not necessarily.  If people use capitals or colours too much, then readers eventually automatically ignore them.
