Title: Fonts drop down selection & URL in post screen
Post by: Blacklord on April 01, 2008, 08:23 PM
When you make a post, you'll notice there's now a drop down box for font size.

You can choose:

10pt
14pt
18pt

When will we be able to modify the appearance of the pages?  This pastel blue(?) is wearing thin on me and my weak vision.   :(

Perhaps in protest, we should all post our entire messages in the new 18-point size!  ;)

The pastel blue appearance of the pages that's wearing thin on you and your weak vision, of course!  ;)

Hey, look, you can manually edit the point size! :)

I kind of like BOXCAR PRINT like the newspapers use as headlines when something really momentous occurs.   :laugh:

In the newspaper biz, we call that big headline font 'Second Coming Type'. The only events in recent memory that warranted it were V-E and V-J days, the assassination of JFK, and 9/11. Paris or Britney could do anything they want and it still wouldn't get them 'second coming' headlines.

Since it's the 40th anniversary of this tragic event, it's fitting to remember this "second coming" headline:
