    Default Formatting

    I want to be able to use, say, Red Comic Sans as my default font on RPG, but if I want to post in it. I have to go through the trouble of adding those two things in the formatter EVERY SINGLE POST

    I don't even know if this is possible, but if it is, could you make it so there is a default format we could change in the settings menu so everything we type in the text box will by default be enclosed by the tags for whatever we put as the default? if this could be added it would be awesome

    though it may increase the number of people who use obnoxious colors and fonts on every single post, it would add a lot more personalization and variety.
    Sorta lacking motivation at the moment.

    My username for every other game is the same as here, mostly playing League of Legends right now

    Red comic sans? Ouch. A sentence is OK, but a whole post like that ... my poor eyes.

    I am personally on the opinion that text should look as uniform as possible, with as little formatting as possible aside of the words that need stressing being bolded et cetera... I frequently enough find miself reading posts diagonally (or not reading them at all) because of painful colors, wonky fonts and/or other bizarre formatting as it is. (Centered alignment for anything but poems and titles? Please don't do that.)

    On the technical side, I figure it would be easy enough to arrange, given the software is malleable enough.

    I'm with Shievenien here. A lot of people hate reading fancy colors and fonts- and I think enabling something like this would only cause people to use them more often, which would lead to a whole forum filled with fancy fonts and colors rather than a simple and easy-on-the-eyes white on gray.

    Ouch.
