Whats with the bold?
GullWhiz   [Jun 06, 2011 at 11:57 PM]
He's just trying to be noticed Wink

If I didn't want that....I could disable that feature Shocked but I won't...

I will accept the bold....but I will not accept ALL CAPS LIKE THIS IN THE WHOLE PARAGRAPH, THAT I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND OR LIKE....

this is OK though....although it makes people kinda...like "what's with the bold"
streetlight98   [Jun 07, 2011 at 12:52 AM]
I just like the deeper font. I can stop if you want.
gailgrove   [Jun 07, 2011 at 12:59 AM]
I don't really mind, but its a little annoying Wink
GullWhiz   [Jun 07, 2011 at 01:00 AM]
doesn't bother me, personally I like deeper fonts...easier on the eyes....maybe I can make bold default for all....that if I can figure it out...maybe even change the fonts all together....we all should argree with something
joe_347V   [Jun 07, 2011 at 02:28 AM]
Seems a bit too bold for me Razz Laughing

There are some OV-20s look alike in Brazil that is set up like that but hanging from cables between poles like traffic signals. Don't remember where I had that pic saved. Embarrassed
GullWhiz   [Jun 07, 2011 at 02:44 AM]
I would LOVE to have one of those fixtures myself!
gailgrove   [Jun 07, 2011 at 02:48 AM]
Well they will likely be coming down some time in the future, I'll be trying to get them if/when they do!
joe_347V   [Jun 07, 2011 at 02:56 AM]
Yeah, the power plant has been closed for a while now but they didn't start dismantling the buildings yet.

Or IF they decide to I rather they keep the building intact and these awesome lights too.
gailgrove   [Jun 07, 2011 at 02:59 AM]
Well from what I understand the entire inside of the building has been gutted but the building is here to stay, at least for the next 20 years, when the current lease expires.
joe_347V   [Jun 07, 2011 at 03:09 AM]
That's good to know, just hope no one decides to "upgrade" these in the meantime Rolling Eyes
Silverliner14B   [Jun 07, 2011 at 10:10 AM]
Well if you guys get a hold on enough of these oldies but goodies, then I am in line for one Wink There are a few of the early versions of these here in the Los Angeles area. Many were incandescent.
streetlight98   [Jun 07, 2011 at 10:16 PM]
Jace, I wouldn't mind a bit deeper color font, but if you make it default, try makeing a bit less bold. Increasign the font size a little may help with the thin font.
Form109   [Jun 08, 2011 at 01:17 AM]
the current font doesn't bother me.
gailgrove   [Jun 08, 2011 at 01:36 AM]
Same with me, the font is fine.
joe_347V   [Jun 08, 2011 at 02:37 AM]
Same with me, I don't see anything wrong with the current font.
streetlight98   [Jun 08, 2011 at 08:46 PM]
Nor do I, but I wouldn't MIND a bolder font. Wink
GullWhiz   [Jan 18, 2012 at 05:41 PM]
I am not sure if this will voliate the SOPA law or not....it is a copied screen shot. so I doubt it but we should play it safe and go to to read more and sign petition
joe_347V   [Jan 18, 2012 at 08:02 PM]
Hmm this is one of the easier infringing pics since I could go out and take a picture of this personally and reupload a new one. Razz

But still SOPA gives so much control to the big media companies it's scary. Shocked
