| | Selectable Default Post Font & Colors (UPDATED)
You've been asking and we've been wanting to make it so we could select a default post color for our posts without having to code them every time. Well, we've gone one step further and now you can not only use any color you want but, you can choose what font to use, too!!
This is a bit of a change from what you may have noticed earlier today where I had a defined set of colors to use. Thanks to Jan for testing out what happens if a member puts in an invalid code/color name or forgets the # before a hex code, we can now allow you to pick any color of your choosing. With hex codes at your disposal your color choices are limitless. Don't know what a hex code is? No problem! Just go ahead and use your favorite color names. Make sure you don't use spaces and if your color turns up black, just try another color name because the one you picked might not be valid. Here's one of my favorite sites for quickly grabbing a color name or color.
To change your default font and color options go to your User CP and click on Edit profile Edit Options. The options for post color and post font are the second and third options on that screen. Click 'Save Changes' and voila! Any post you've written where you haven't specified a specific font and/or color will now display using the values you set in your profile.
Have fun!! UPDATE: We've moved the option from 'Edit Profile' to 'Edit Options' as it makes more sense to put it there and I'm not sure why I put it in 'Edit Profile' in the first place.  |

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

Your welcome, guys. I didn't think it was really that much trouble to code your posts.  I just thought this was a nifty new toy for the site. And speaking of new toys, if anyone happens to win the lotto or has a sudden windfall, I am now accepting donations for my new bike fund.

| ♥ Mrs. Itachi Uchiha™ & MAJNOO! : Bleach & Kyo & Natsume ♥ [ Maxh!Jesh ] This is AMAZING. But we can use another hex code/ font in our posts even when we've set this up for ourselves, right? And now I have to get used to not writing/ copying-pasting my code. Shouldn't this be in the site news? XD
EDIT :: Umm, my colour isn't appearing. -blink-
EDIT 2 :: I think I'll stick to manual coding, thanks.
