why is my name in bold?

[red]

started happening yesturday in the shout box. every time somebody typed a word with "red" in it, it was in bold type. whats up with that?

Red... it's because it's your screen name.
If you are in the shoutbox and someone types out your full screen name, in my case MrsWillyMammoth, it will be bold to alert you that someone is talking to you.
But everyone uses the shortcut MWM or MrsW for me, or FFC for FordFreakChik so we don't see it as often.

It also used to alert with a noise that sounds like sonar, I don't know if it still does that.

Is it possibly a glitch, system thinks you're searching for something you've posted in so red is always highlighted?

MWM nailed it pefectly in the shout box, but i did have it happen on 1 or 2 pages here in chit chat camp. really got my attention in the shout box though yesturday because it was all over the page
