Hmm, I think TNT should just disallow font formatting altogether- perhaps add a drop down menu for colours (all readable) at most. Or if they must insist on all these fancy formats, perhaps drop down menus for every possible option.

That would be a really good idea. >_< I wish that they would do that - I think I'll send in a suggestion forum about it.

That would be an excelant idea. It would keep people who want to have "individual" fonts from pitching fits but still please those of use who don't care about html looks and would just like legibal boards (or as much legibility as the neoboards allow)

I never understood why people used the white font anyway, I mean if you're going to post, don't you want to be heard (or read)? Why make it harder for people to hear your opinion? Not everyone bothers to highlight it, they just ignore it. Anyway, I'm glad they're gone

I have a good idea...

Make fonts like avatars! ^_^

There would only be premade fonts, and you get them in a similar fasion to the way you get avatars! ^_^

Goodbye, really hard to read fonts!

Oh, and I quote myself on another post:

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Now all we need is for the people who don't like it to boycott the chat boards.

Think about it, a New Member free neoboard... *gets starry eyed*

Without the newbs, the monitors would have time to actually LOOK AT THE POSTS we make, before they unjustly freeze us... It starts a chain reaction... Oh, I love it. ^_^

Another solution: Allow only a certain set group of colors, but you can NeoHTML them yourself (red, black, blue, green yellow, purple, cyan, magenta, et cetera).

Finally they notice my suggestions

I allways said they should ban it.

All right, I'm fine with the white ban, it was just annoying to have that font, but why glowing??? They say that some people it took longer to load, ok I don't know about mozilla but on Netscape, which is what I use at school it works fine. And I had worked hard to personalize my font.

They probably just got rid of them because the monitors were having a hard time reading the posts that were reported to them, when they actually did double-check a report.

Oh, no, that would never be the case.

Reported posts aren't formatted. They are always sent plain-text, so you don't have to worry about that.

It was because mozilla and other browser users like me couldn't actually see those posts. I had to highlight them. Which was rather annoying when I come on the boards only to find out info or post about trades and such. Highlighting every one is hard. I don't like to use IE. I seem to get lots of spyware using it and it crashes my computer.

Was just for fairness really. But I do know some IE users didn't like them either due to a big percent of them being very dificult to read. Some even looked like they were moving O_o

I think banning the glow and shadow were a stupid idea.

Banning white font I really don't care about that much. I ignored anythig in white anyway, but it was nice to be able to match your font to your avatar. I really liked that.

VirtualMetal · **Posted:** Sat Aug 21, 2004 3:12 pm

Why stupid? They were only text effects. It's not like neopets was about the text you use anyway. Plus many people couldn't see them. It's only fair.

You can still match your font with the avatar. People still do...

All I can say is good! It was getting annoying, needing to highlight all he time.

Edit: Why won't the typo demon leave me alone?

i don't understand how you guys can stand the neoboards. I go on there for quest help occasionally... but other than that, it moves too fast (with lots of junky posts) ... if you blink once your topic has sunk. Or am I just looking in the wrong places?
