Yup, this is a suggestion :roll:
My idea is it to add a new option to the user's control panel in the forum. In my opinion it is pretty useful and helps or you can just call me lazy for not just using my font, size, colour or so in every post :-s .
I don't know if it is possible to make this change but firstly it would help to hear your opinion RV.
So click the magically glowing Post Reply button at the bottom of the page ;)

I'm not sure what you're suggesting, do you think you can go into more detail?

Are you saying there should be a UCP where you can set it so every post appears in a certain font and certain color?

UCP = User Control Panel
didn't want to make title too long

A preset font, font size and colour which you set in the user's control panel, Board Preferences

Let's say you always want to write in blue because it looks pretty with your name (Blue would fit with A5chow's name for example :p) and you don't want to insert the blue colour in each post and just change the setting and let it be blue as a default for your account.

Do you get it now? [-o< :D

How hard is it to click the shade of blue you want from the panel on the right?

I don't like it. If you want to change your font from the default go for it but I don't think it is a good idea to be able to set it as a default... That makes things to easy, stick to the default if it is to hard.

I'm gonna have to agree with Mack. It's a good idea, but I'm sure it would be more trouble than its worth to find such a mod. The color pallet is good enough :mrgreen:

Does such a mod even exist? I'm gonna agree with mack too. Although I think would be a good idea. It would to to hard of a job for little result.

Like Morte who agrees with Jack I agree with Mack.

It's not that hard, If you really want to when you log onto RV just have the text colour font etc copied.

For example; If you'd like
[color=#0000FF][b][/b][/color]
as your default text just copy that so all you have to do is click paste and it's all ready for you.

I thought it would be handy, as you have to do it for every post and everyone could personalize their defaults...
but your opinions seem reasonable too

Well it comes down to how easy it would be to apply the change. If it were possible to create a mod which would do this without too much difficulty, then I'm all for it.

The idea is good in principle, it's just a question of whether it can be done.

In response to those who say it'd make things too easy...the same argument could be raised with the Quick Reply box, but many people (myself included) found it handy for smaller messages.

virtually anything can be done with php and phpbb, it really just depends on the complexity of the mod (which thinking about it on a phpbb2 base, doesn't actually seem to hard... but RV uses phpbb3...). I'm all up for it if someone want to write a MOD for it. :D

Runevillage the forum is pretty well much done. Runevillage the group will eventually die, but as long as we're still friends with each other in the end, it's still a pretty big thought in our heads. Runevillage the family is forever, no matter where we settle down. If absolutely nothing else ever comes of Runevillage in the future, that alone is a pretty damn awesome thought.

Ive not properly checked out PHPBB3 yet, though the code is quite a bit differnt than 2 from what ive seen, it shouldnt be that hard to make tbh, Just need to make new database stuff

Well if it's easily possible then I'm all for it. :D

Of course, there is still the question of priorities. I guess that this sort of hack is lower on the list than a number of others.
