CF User Customizer - now using much less blessings!

[Erwin]

I've added more options - basically the same options as before the Customizer came into being - and added drop-down menus for font options.

Also, most things are now using only 50 blessings, with discounts for long term users and people who reuse the same options.

Hope you like the new changes - subtle, but took me 4 hours to add these things back!

 

[Erwin]

Oh yeah, and username font size, post font size, chat font size, as well as option to choose between "glow" or "shadow" and the effect strength, are all back, with the same dropdown menus.

Can we please have an option for bold font in posts?

 

[Victorian Rose]

Yay!!!! Thanks Erwin!!!

Mmm... that's brand new... Don't you want the option to bold different parts of your post though?

There's a good reason why not: an embedded bold post that isn't turned off makes the entire thread from that point on bold, or so I'm given to understand.

I can think of at least three options you could use:
1. Make your default posting font a font that is naturally quite bold, or something like Times New Roman Bold
2. If you're using the WYSIWYG interface for posting, you've got a B in the options at top left. Click on that when beginning typing, again just before hitting "submit" to make the whole post bold.
3. Likewise, if using the WYSIWYG interface, hit Control-B at the beginning and again at the end of typing your post, and the whole thing will be bold.

But I'm curious why you want your whole post to be bolded. Wanna explain?

Thanks for all your hard work, Erwin

 

[SpaceProg]

Splendissimo. Great work, Erwin. Looks much better.

A thought to consider - we have blind folks in the forums.

I believe BOLD is yelling from their translator.
If you have a problem seeing the better solution is a larger font.

Because, I like the orange color, but it shows up better when it's bolded.... and I keep forgetting to use the tags.

The suggestion of using times new roman bold works for me though and I'm happy!

Thanks for all the hard work Erwin!

p.s. sleep more!

Um, Erwin?

I made my username changes on 6/29 and spent 850 blessings altogether. I think you have a way to look that up. Any chance on getting some of those blessings back?

Just a thought!

I believe this is a valid enough concern to not allow bolded posts.

Erwin, i just have to tell you I appreciate all of your hours and hours of labor into these projects. You are truly giving so much. Thank you.

 

[Ceris]

Thank you very much for dealing with all our whinning in such a nice way Erwin.

Okay, done.

 

[Arwen Undomiel]

Awww, thanks for your generosity Erwin!

And thanks for the hard work and great site, too.

 

[SpaceProg]

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and ask for my 200 blessings I paid to get my glow back. Sorry but I did it before they were given back to all the older folks anyway.

If you don't want to Erwin, don't worry about it. I just thought I'd ask too.

 

[Matrona]

Thank you so much Erwin!!! I feel like my name is mine again!

The customized usernames are like faces in this environment... I think that's why so many of us became upset at the rough equivalent of being forced to wear a mask and only being allowed to take it off if we sacrificed something.

BTW, I "bought" these things before the alterations... I'm not sure how many blessings these took, but I'd really appreciate it if I could have them back. I would have written them off normally, but I need those blessings to feed and entertain my poor, hungry, bored little kitty! Thank you!
