Hello Don!
Hmmm, that is a good question. When posting, I suppose you could select large text but that doesn't solve the default problem. Let me look in to that one, OK?

Problem with it is that Netscape and MSIE can't decide what a 100% size font should be, so the creators of PHPBB set it up to use static sized fonts. Lots of complaints on their board, looking for a way to change the sizes so that all of the fonts are either sized based on your Explorer settings, or having an additional style to where it has bigger fonts. |

The Mr. KABC show:
No guests, topics, screeners, scripts, planted callers, contrived viewpoints or goofy sound effects.
Mr. KABC is the sterile needle in the arm of the talk radio junkie.
He is like religion without the collection plate.
His show is the modern day campfire. It attracts insomniacs, truck drivers, and those inclined toward deviant social behavior.
Mr. KABC is the dopest freshest homeboy on the airwaves today. He is multimedia and charismatic. He'll be your favorite talk show host known as Mr. KABC. |

Tech support replies!
The turnaround time is due to the fact that the server SUCKS! It varies depending upon the time of day. Will try compressing the database files though to see if that helps...
Look above the box you are typing in, you will see two dropdowns: FONT COLOUR: <default> and FONT SIZE: <normal>. Simply select the color you desire out of the COLOUR dropdown and start typing to have different colored fonts.
The same principle applies to the size of fonts. Select your FONT SIZE ( Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge) and start typing - you will see the difference when you PREVIEW or SUBMIT your post.
Need more help? Let me know!

These codes are not attaching themselves properly to highlighted text. For example, I will highlight thse two lines and you will notice where the coding falls when it is applied *automatically*.
They position themselves at the end of the highlighted area, which isn't working.
However when I manually envelop the the phrase, even *unhighlighted*, I can get different fonts and colors.
What is causing this lack of ease in application?

OK, I'll try again! |
