| Posted: | | | | I absolutely agree, pete. That way users like Rho and midnit can have what they want, @midnit As for the screenshot idea. What are you trying to do to me? My backup file is now 10.6 GB and growing rapidly with the new headshot option, just what I want MORE graphics. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!! CBE, MBE, MoA and proud of it. Outta here

| Posted: | | | | It's really not that big a deal. Bold and italics are used to set off particular words and phrases. In this particular case the designers got cute and reversed everything. At the end of the day, there are still certain words/phrases being set off, just with regular type. Locally, I'll maintain the spirit of what was intended but simply put it in standard format...essentially unreversing the design choice. I personally find it to be more readable in that format, so that's what I'll do. At the end of the day I need the data to be usuable and not cutesy.
I was joking about the screenshot thing. We've got some users so concerned about mimicking the appearance of something, that they completely forget about whether it makes any sense. I think the last example of this was the actor as himself debacle. If appearance is so important, just take a picture. | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

This is what i'll be doing locally as well. That was my original question (at least the intent of it)...could the overview be reversed? This isn't the first almost completely italicized overview i've seen and none had quotes around the whole thing. When it was predominately italics it seemed italics became "normal" which makes sense to me. | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| Posted: | | | | I have to admit that the rules for the online say to use italics wherever they may appear.
My personal opinion is that the point of entering the overview is to capture information. Capturing whether specific words have been given special consideration does convey additional information. Capturing an entire marketing/design philosophy is of absolutely no use to me. Heck, without colored fonts, changeable typefaces and fontsizes, I will never be able to capture this design information fully. Nor do I ever want to. I already have an image of the rear cover so I find it pointless to exactly recreate the thing in text form.
These are my opinions and I'm content to restrict them to my local content. | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

Skip Yes, this new option for headshots is great. It would be nice to share your photos with other users. (I have also many new headshots, if you are interested...) | | | Images from movies |
