Ooh, a table

I guess you DID mean to make the IHE article post in 90 point text, then!!

I guess Courier is Ok, too (not my favorite font).....like this?

We are working on alpha testing to see what's annoying and should be turned off

or what needs to be listed explicitly as standard practice here.

import antigravity

(python joke https://xkcd.com/353/ because # appears to be a code typesetting convention.)

We turned off a bunch of the annoying stuff already (colors, image links, moving text, emojis) so we should be down to minimally annoying at the moment. Always good to test what someone can do if they really try, though!

Maybe you could leave them up for the Posting While Plastered thread.

Those posters might have fun with the options...

I knew you had shut off many of the very most annoying features.  I was intrigued by what's left that is new in this interface.  Most of it seems possibly useful, but the font size does seem weird to me.  The font face doesn't show up on every device as being different.

It's really cool how granular it is- it's not a single on off, but you can individually activate each BBC code unit.

I wouldn't worry about 'font size abuse'. We are all adults here.... right? Ahahahah....

Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it. However, having Comic Sans as a font option is just begging for trouble...

[polly_mer]

You don't worry about font size abuse?

That's ok.  You don't have to worry about the trivial

After all, none of us have

• ever.

seen any adults ever abuse any formatting options

even when clear formatting instructions were _GIVEN

[polly_mer]

Seriously, though, I just wanted to play with new features (I can see many uses of tables in my future) and thought others might like the same.

I think I might re-enable marquee text. Just for me. And use it for occasional fun.

[polly_mer]

You deserve something special, Eigen, for taking lead!

[polly_mer]

:)  Can I use smileys?  No, huh.

How about the hidden text?  Yep, just hover the mouse over the text!
