Default post options, custom Options

[duplicatex0x0x0]

This would be a really good thing to have, so we can all have personalized text for a default, Instead of having to type in, or press the buttons on each post that we make. It would be a part of our controls. :)

I'd prefer the opposite--removing custom text styles (font face and color) altogether, since it throws off the uniformity of the board styles.

[whomps]

A lot of the text on the forums could be really hard to read.

Like my brightness is set on my computer as really really bright so this forum isn't really blue. It's more like pearly bluish white.

[*mzkandi*]

^Mines too.

I'm not all for that. Because there some members who text are bright and/or unreadable and adding that option could possibly make things more complicated. I think it is fine the way it is.

[iheartsimba]

Yeah I agree that it might be hard to read..it might be a bit annoying. I think it's fine the way it is. Good idea though, just some people would pick really annoying fonts + colors =/

[duplicatex0x0x0]

back to people saying things about the fourms uniformity and differant colors and all..

everyones sig already messed that up..

[whomps]

You can choose to disable sigs..

[duplicatex0x0x0]

i know that, but i like to see peoples sigs. but also back to what i was referring to was that i like to have my text small, to size1 and maybe to have it dark green.. i mean people already do this correct. Yes. i was just wondering instead of having to paste it everytime you want to reply or somthing it will already be there for you.

[*disco infiltrator*]

i always wondered if we could do that too. it's not a bad idea. i mean, if people wanted annoying fonts (which they already have) they could do it now anyway. it wouldn't really change much, just make lazy people like myself have individuality. :]

[yellowgurl]

default right now.. is easier to read because usually people dont change colours.. its harder on the eyes if the colours are really bright and they type "lyk dis". Anyways, just my opinion

[gelionie]

I think it matters on what you post, not what your font and text color is.
There's nothing wrong with the default one.

[demolished]

Well, there should be font restrictions for all members including regular member.

special limited font colors for offical members and above. (not for regular member).

anyways, we might need the color red for warning, alert, important things and etc ..

[duplicatex0x0x0]

but see i what i was asking is like I can allready make my font like this, i was just wondering if you guys could make it so it's my default text..

we already have colors..
that's why making a default font option wouldn't make much of a difference.

in fact..

i'll type like this in my posts from now on.

[duplicatex0x0x0]

but see instead of having to type

[ size=1 ] [ color=#006600 ] before everypost to have it already my default, so I would only have to type my regural post and it would already be there. :) [ /size ] [ /color ]

[Heathasm]

i think that this is a GREAT IDEA!!! yeahh!! i always wanted to have a trademark font and color and whatever but im too lazy to do it in all of my posts :P. if some one uses a bright font or some thing that i can't read its not worth reading the retard's post any way XD...

Apparently most people that posted thought that it would change the entire forum.


The person suggested their text ONLY be changed to that option.
That way they wouldn't have to manually add the BBCODES to alter their text everytime they posted.3

I like this idea.

[heyyfrankie]

i don't see what the big deal is. the picture that tom posted up gives you the choice to change the font FACE, COLOR & SIZE. people can already do that now but they just have to manually type in the font names/colors. i think this would be fun to have.

but i REALLY don't like the background color idea. that could make it look ugly, IMO.

[duplicatex0x0x0]

^ yeah, the fourm where i got it from people use that, and some people do not know how to coordinate colors 0.0 it's really bad. but it would be great to have it automatically do the font size and color for me :)

[*disco infiltrator*]

yea, no bg color..but i don't see what the big deal would be

[jordanriane]

yea, no bg color..but i don't see what the big deal would be

Essentially this would be perfect for people who change their font for every post.

Be it font face, color, size.. Like it's been said already, it would just mean that instead of having to enter in the bbcode each time, it would automatically use their settings for the font style they want.

It should definitely be implemented; I'd use it.

[duplicatex0x0x0]

^ as would I thank you for explaing what I meant for others to comprehend, You explaied it perfectly. That's what I would use it for, right now i have a myspace extension that is right click and lets me do bbcode, but even that takes too long. It would make it so much easier to have the tags automatically there for everypost.

[jordanriane]

I'd love to "customize" my font (because I'm geeky like that) but I don't use the "add reply" function (which would make it somewhat faster as opposed to manually typing) but rather the fast reply, as I don't have to have the page load (as if it took long anyway...).

I agree 100%.

[racoons > you]

its true

that would make it much easier for people such as myself who use fast reply to be more individual, without havin to type out the tags... which is annoying

i vote yes
