    I am colorblind too. Seeing it in the posts is easy enough, but trying to figure which color is purple if I want to post something is very difficult!

    Where's the bacon?
    As I am colorblind, and can not distinguish the color purple from other specific colors, I imagine that I am s.o.l. in this regard.
    If, when you go to reply to a post, you click

    <=this icon on the upper right of the edit window, you'll see your screen change so you can see text in "Paco Purple" as

    Hope this helps! :)

    AFAIK, on INGO, the use of purple text to indicate sarcasm originated with Paco Bedejo. Thus the reason we call it "Paco Purple". I believe it's in his sig line, as well.

    This.

    I was just the one that brought it to everyone's attention.

    I thought I would post JBusch8899's comment for posterity as all of his posts have been deleted. :rolleyes:
