Formatting Text

dounowhoiam · 01-13-2011, 04:38 PM

Hi,
I have noticed that many of the more experienced getDare users use colours, and other formatting in thier posts, signitures etc.
Is there a list of how to do this type of formatting, and what is the range of formatting on the getDare forums. I am sure that most of the admins may not want the posts to be like Las Vegas with neon-like colours so that you can't read the post, but a nice bit of style to make each post person to him or her.
What do you think?
Can any admin tell me what the abilities of the forum font control is?
Thanks

It's all there when you start a thread or reply

There's the font drop-down, the size alterations, the colours, alignment, bold/italic/underline, and the smiley options.

You can't set a personalised default font or anything though so you have to do it manually each time. (Like, for example, I always use Century Gothic and put my text in bold.)

Thank you Doctor, I seem to have been a bit dumb and not realise I accidentally set it as Basic Message Editor.

At least in the future if anyone reads this they'll know what to do, change it in the options to the full one.
