    Re: Bold Text Issues ;)

    Hello,

    I am having the same issue too. I am wondering if it is because my text is inside a shaped box? It does not matter if I change the text in the page properties or highlight text and change it there or change it in styles..

    The text always seems to default to arial and the text is bold..
    I have tested and tried Veranda font on a few pages, and even though the html says Veranda on the pages I tested, it is not Veranda unbolded fonts as changed to.

    I dont care for the dark bolded fonts.. and some places, it is not a dark bolded font like previous posting.

    Is there a way to make a global change to make every page the same font besides styles or page properites that do not work??

    Thanks, here is the site built in BV that I am still working on.. Not complete..

      Please point out where exactly on the page is the issue, we need to know the exact problem, not just a generalization..

      Thank you in advance.

        Thanks for the quick reply.....in fact the best way for me to show you the problem would be for me to send you a screen capture of BV with my page before its uploaded and then to compare it against whats online.....BV is bolding almost every word i upload.....is there an email address i could send a pic to you for you to better compare (its ready to send to you right now ;)...thx jack

          Most all of my pages have the bold text issue..

          This page has a mixture of bold and normal font, http://www.selfdefenseproductsflorid...per-Spray.html

          I like the top products that are NOT in bold text, but look at the last 2 products in bold text. I do not like this. Most pages are like this and cannot seem to be changed fontwise...

          Thanks, Cindy

            Hey just found a work around i think....click on text box...then right click and then you can publish the text as an image (gif) ....just tried it and it worked like a charm....not sure this is the right way to go about it though ;) j


            ...also this would probably not work for text you wanted to attach a working link to...

              Hi... I wouldnt want to convert it to a gif or jpeg file, this will hurt your SEO as the serps cannot read images (unless you are adding an alt tag)..

              Any other opinions??

                Youre probably right Cindy....but im used to doing alot of other things for SEO anyway and this page is a sales page that affiliates will drive traffic to anyway...lets see what VH has to say about our issue ....thx jack....also I dont have to send VH a picture to "see" whats going on....if you look at my sales page at www.stopslicingnow.com you can see i changed the first paragraph to an image of exactly what i see in BV as im designing it ...when i upload it i get the bolded look below the gifs ...

                    Re: Bold Text Issues

                    Thats what I was saying in one of my posts. The html says differently than what the font really is..

                    Vodahost folks, please view my page source for that pepper spray page link I gave you in this thread and look at font online and you will see what I mean..

                    Can you Voda folks help us??


                    Thanks,

                          This is a strong reason to not use Blue Voda....you submit a request to support and they refer you to here....obviously if your requiring support its an important issue that you need solved right away....here they refer you to an infinite forum that seems to be ignored ....hence my surprise but delight that i got an enquiry from the powers that be on the 21st ....here it is the 25th ...four days later and not a peep....now what does that say ...and why rely on that kind of service for business... hmmm ???

                            Bold Text Issues-Did Support FORGET about us??

                            Hey Golfswinger..

                            So you did actually put in a support ticket and they referred you to this forum?

                            I placed a support ticket for a different issue last Friday and marked it as urgent. I am hoping to hear back from them soon.

                            These issues impact our business/sales.

                            I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt that this 'got lost' and add in title 'did support forget about us'..

                            This is a shame because I love bluevoda software. I hope they can handle support request for Bluevoda and Hosting issues.
