Standard Posting Font

[Slowpoke]

Exactly, how can it be annoying?? :S

How could it be annoying?

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.

And that's the answer to your question. We'd also probably have to apply limits such as font sizes which would probably require even more modifications to keep people from parading around with bright green, size seven font - Whilst it is a good idea in theory, I'd say it's a lot more trouble than it's worth.

Good idea, but there is security issues plus i'd hate to read a thread with 101 different fonts.

Sorry but I cannot standard anyone posting in other fonts, all this bold pink etc, it really irritates me to be fair and also bare in mind there is already a variety of skins so most colours don't show up for people. E.g. if someone always posted in yellow but used the space skin, it'd look great for them but all the people in the classic skin will suffer.

Nice pun like it.

And yeah, people would type in bright pink size 4 to annoy you.

There is a little hack for this that you can configure it how you wish under your options, it lets you select a font, colour & bold or whatever, today used to have it on his forum and it was pretty secure and stuff. But if you wanna 'save time' don't bother colour formatting your posts at all? It'll save you time.

Suppose it is a bad idea overall.

I would rather blend kittens than implement this, I can understand where your coming from however the option of users being able to change colour and font would lead to threads like this.

Which would really annoy me.



The other downside of this would be the concurrent style issues.


The benefit of having default text styles in posts is that the majority of users really cant be bothered to constantly change text style in every post they write.



This means they are using the styles default, and by doing that it means it will always be readable in any style it is viewed in.

An example of this would be looking at my sample text in different styles. In the non-habbo dark skin the white text is easily viewable but try reading it in site skin or classic skin and it becomes difficult to read.

So by introducing this modfication imagine having to highlight each persons posts so you can read what they are saying because their choice of text formatting doesnt work well with your style.

PS: This has nothing to do with security issues as its not really that kind of modification.

If we can't have that then atleast change the colour away from this blue to black or something becuase i have never liked this colour, why do we have it in the first place?

Blue is fine. Let everything be.

Blue is fine. Let everything be.

I agree with this, let it all be, there is nothing wrong with any of the colours or the fonts. I have clearly explained the problems with this option and I doubt it will ever be implemented for these reasons. But thanks for the feedback none the less.
