I used to not watch the promos, though since the move to UPN they're generally so misleading that it doesn't much matter. But it's not that big a deal to skip over them. TV guide type stuff tends to be worse.
Then again, I try just as hard to avoid the "coming up right now" teasers, covering the screen and muting the TV until 30 seconds past the hour, so maybe I'm just a freak-o. :)
Now
those
I'd like to avoid - they've given away more than one HSQ moment in recent memory, like
Giles' return this season.
Also, network promos can often be kind of misleading, too....
Sometimes they say the wrong things, sometimes they say more than one'd want, sometimes they just whet the appetite. I really think it's a divide of convenience -- they're provided as part of the show package, most people watch them, and mandatory whitefonting would rapidly become unwieldy.
I always watch them, because I stay tuned 'til the Grrr Argh guy sings. I'm also an end-credit hound, even when it's smooshed up on my screen.
Please anyone who's suggesting we white font the previews, please, please, please, for the love of Joss, stop. I can't take it anymore. This is my last pleasure in life. No. Really. See Natter.
Hi, could someone tell me where to find the info on how to change the font size for reading messages? Not for posting messages, but reading posts. I read it somewhere, but have been unable to locate it under FAQ, board etiquette, how-to, and profile/registration. I switched browsers, from Netscape to Mozilla, and everything looks giant now. Should I be asking in Tech? help?
It's controlled on a browser basis. It's not anything you set on the board. I have no clue about Mozilla, so I can't tell you exactly where to do it.
I have the same problem, and I didn't find a way to fix it thru the browser on IE. I just set the font size to smaller. User-set fonts are on the list of future features, IIRC.
Java, the size and font are hardwired into the code. In Mozilla you can override this by going to edit>preferences>appearance>fonts and unchecking the box that says "allow documents to use other fonts." Then the pages will display in whatever you've set as default in preferences. This also means that every page you view on the whole WWW will also use only your preferences.
Fabulous! thank you for the wonderful help.
