Standard Posting Font

[Mint]

First of all you should know that this might not appeal to most of you as only some users like to post using the same font all the time.

If you do use a different font or colour when you post on here then you will know that you have to change your font and colour and even size everytime you post.

So what I have thought of is an option for any users to choose there standard text for everytime they post. This could be an option in each users control panel or even something for VIP's only. Meaning everytime they go to post, they automatically start writing in there chosen font. This is ofcourse if there is such thing.

Does anybody agree with this?

It's been suggested a few times but if I remember correctly the idea was turned down due to it requiring a vBulliten hack/modification which is a security threat. Nevertheless, I do like the idea, I just don't think management would install the appropriate hack/modification for such a small change (plus it can get annoying when abused). Good luck with it and thanks for the feedback.

This was brought up before I think.. or maybe that was on Habmate. Either way, it got really annoying whenever I've seen it used elsewhere lol

I just added a few more things to it.

How could it be annoying? Because if you didn't like it then you could just leave it.

Exactly, how can it be annoying?? :S

Either way your going to read that post as the user wants it?

[The Professor]

So if it is a security threat, is there not anything you can do to make it safe?

[The Professor]

Nope. Its not the fact that people will have different fonts that is the security threat (that would be weird lol) but its the process of adding extensions/plugins/whatever they call them. It requires editing of the coding of the forum, and mistakes are pretty easy to make in terms of that (even massive programs like IE have security holes and VB are constantly releasing updates to fix security flaws that people find). If there's a really useful addon that will make the forum run 50x better or will cook toast for you in the morning or something we consider balancing risk/reward, but with something like this it isn't worth the risk

Of course, Jin will probably nullify what I just said because he's god and I'm not But I'm pretty sure what I'm saying is right

I don't like it because it would encourage more people to use different fonts all the time, like bright pink or something, which would annoy me.
