Which forum area does this suggestion apply to: Whole
What kind of work do you think will be required: Changing Options / Possible modification
Describe your suggestion: Alright anyone else getting annoyed by people using such dark colors that you need to highlight to read, or having centered posts that you have to go look in the center for and highlight?... I think its this color feature is unnecessary and just makes reading things a hassle. I tend to want to ignore those that have posts I cant read.

People with light skins could argue the other way.

Yes true, this is why only moderately intense colors should be used, so no matter what skin, its legible.

You could just have the option to turn off viewing the custom formatting. If we don't already...

Yeah I dont believe we do, If we do then I cant find it.

Most people don't use it anyway so may as well just get rid of it.

I'm more in favor of this than writing something up to give you the option to view it. I personally feel we give people too many options in what they view . Suck it up!

I don't mind removing it though . If you want to keep it, get me a list of colors and I can disallow those colors .

Tell me one way or another

really red should be the only alternative color, maybe a mid-intensity pink

Balls, I've checked my text and you can read mine fine on the dark skin and it's far from red/pink o-O.

^ What she said.

Red isn't that easy to read on the dark skin anyway. It looks more blurred? than other colours, to me.

There are a couple I have found hard to read since I use the dark skin, but I just highlight them it really is not too big a deal.

Yea thats like what the thread is based on

Let's just ban selphie, problem solved

Or if there's only a couple of people using 'problem' colours... how about you PM them and ask them to change it? That would be the easiest solution, no?

I agree, I know not many people have taken advantage of the custom font thing, but it seems a shame to take it away from all those who do just to please the couple of people that can't be bothered to highlight or w/e. I'm sure if it's hard to read they wont mind changing it if you asked o-o.

I dont like when their posts are centered and really small and normally I tend to miss their posts. I would want to make my posts so that people could read them. Just because my opinion is so important. I dont think we should take away the colors or make it where they can't center things. Just ignore it or turn it off on your preferences. Lets not make this a dictatorship.

We're already a dictatorship (well at least an oligarchy). The simple thing to do is just to ignore the people who have dodgy fonts, most of them are noobs whose opinion doesn't matter anyway.

You did no such thing, you were quoting a line from the video I'd sent you, hardly counts as a valid retort, it didn't deserve my time.

Talks about cheese in this thread? I think it's high time this mod went.

I'll have the tech team remove it .

[Jewbert]

The centering feature really bugs me as well. But I hope my font is not too dark to read with the dark skin. I have not used the dark one since all the changes were made.
