Is it possible to eliminate size 7 and size 6 from the options available to us, the posters?

I've been on boards that don't allow color fonts, so not allowing a certain size font should also be available to administration staff. Of course, at this point in time, I don't recall which board it was, or what type of software they were running...

So Many Boards, So Little Time...

Rules are good...

A) I've been on boards that didn't have any and they... sucked...

Moderators are good too...

see A...

I've been here a couple of months now and I have to say that this is still one of the best run boards I have been on in many a moon. It's not perfect, of course, but it's purrty damn good. Good enough for me to invite the righties I meet in their partisan cess pools HERE so they can see what GOOD BOARDS look like...

I don't know if it helps any on the other boards, but I do what I can...

It should be, but this is something Marc would have to do. I don't think anyone else has access to the necessary files.

I'll pass it along. Sounds like a feline idea to me.

Re: Forum Rules! You must read.

Well, there generally isn't a problem with oversized fonts being used in the Just For Fun section and the various private forums...

Just like how cars can go 140+ mph even though the highest posted speed limits are well below that. Some people use that high speed 'just for fun' on the track or on private property.
