This used to work fine:

That used to be 24point text, glowing red.

What happened? The manual here says it should still work.

It was a garish eyesore.  I turned it off.

jtaylor:
Now, now, Iago. Don't sugar-coat it, tells us how you really feel. ;)

I'm rather glad you did. Everytime I saw it, I had a nightmare vision of the day the fangurlz find this board and over-run it with squee-over-Paul-Blackthorne/Terence Mann-posts. Kidz like this tend to have fetishes for any and everything to make their posts look more TEH SPESHUL, up to and including over-use of font colors/glow tags/and especially that tag that makes your typing sparkle like glitter.

iago:
I hear you.  I turned off most of the "extraneous" tags that I didn't think were offering much in the way of real value.  I even contemplated ditching the color tag or figuring out how to lock it down as admin-only, but that latter bit proved too hard, so I decided for the moment that so long as folks use it judiciously it's not all bad. :)
