This used to work fine:
You mean like this?
That used to be 24point text, glowing red.
What happened? The manual here (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=735) says it should still work.

It was a garish eyesore. I turned it off.

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.

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. :)

Could you turn the size tag back on as well?

No. :)

I can get behind that. I can see someone being obnoxious and posting a rather fowl message in 100 pitch font. It would be just mildly annoying.

Mm, idiots on the Matrix Online forums like to do that and it gets really maddening.
