Custom fonts are very unnecessary. The reason the selection is limited for forums is so there can be differences but not enough such that you can't jump from one post to another without needing to readjust.
I had a feeling there would be a response like this. Since it's hard to read, don't you think there can be the option of custom font switch so that smashboards users can either turn it off if they find it uncomfortable to read?

If you care about it so much, you could just change your font every time you post. There are users who do it. :I

And I would also like to thank you guys for bigger, sexier avatars. :3c

Well yeah I can do that, but what if others were uncomfortable with it? Should there be a switch or should they just use the ignore list so they wouldn't see me?

And yeah, I love the new options. Might they go for 150x150?

A lot of the current suggestions are very user-specific and trivial (arranging postbits, hiding only certain ones, putting a vibrant-specific feature [vibrant was made with the sidebar in mind while other skins were not] on other skins, custom fonts for users and the option to disable them, etc...). We don't need newcomers coming onto the site and while messing with their options having a million things to try to figure out what they mean. Keep things to the basics.

Sorry about the late-ish response.

I implemented custom colors because there were a lot of people who used custom colors. If there are only a handful of people using non-default fonts, and we have no intent of popularizing custom font usage in posts, adding in a whole option for it is very contradictory to that intent, with or without the ability to turn it off.

For specific things you don't want to see, this thing called Adblock is like, really useful.

I'm not really trying to have a flame war, but if you'd really like to start one terywj we can.
You could try but I don't think anyone really cares enough to put in that much effort replying to you.

You should not continue if this "Attacking" keeps up.

It's better to not go back about all of these.


I merely mentioned it. Including me, the opinion on this page was actdiually 2-2 so, no, i'm not the only one. I am fine with it not being there; the only reason I kept arguing was because you either seemed to not understand what I was talking about or were making really bad arguments.
Well, okay, if "bad arguments" are what keeps you asking for something, I'll be sure to just respond to ideas I don't like with a "no" next time. It will hopefully simplify things.
And go have a different talk somewhere else until it smoothes down.

Idk what happened here really. Ankoku got all touchy about my idea. He doesn't like it; i get it. More than anything I was offended by the tone he used. Were all human and have **** going on; again, i get it. I made a joke and all of a sudden theres a few random people harassing me. That I don't get.

You find too much support anywhere on the world wide web.

And posts like that will not mean everyone will take it as a Joke. I learned that the hard way.

One of these days all of my custom skins are going to be gone. It'll be a pretty funny joke.

Can you make it so we can close the box that alerts us of new posts in the thread?

It's really annoying when i'm reading a earlier page and I have to refresh to get rid of that popup, and then someone else posts and it comes back up. :(

How's that annoying? It's actually a nice notification.

Did you ... read my post?

I said it's annoying when there's no way to close it while i'm reading a different page.

Any notification should be able to be minimized. Imagine if the next time windows said "theres new updates" you couldnt close the notification until you restarted windows

really long rant about the user CP:





the "visual" refers to a to-be-made category, since you have "how SWF looks to me" (the stuff already under 'edit options') and "how I look to others on SWF" (my avatar, sig etc.)
I also type "move to profile privacy" a couple times but with addign all those you would obv extend it to a general privacy category.


PS I'm on generations but afaik the userCP is the same on all skins.
