Just a request: I think the font size at MacNN forums are too small (font size=1?), and I think the font faces are ugly, from a design point of view.

I think the best forum design I have seen is http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/ . It was custom written and looks superb.

PS: I know I can increase the font size with CMD+ but this is only a temporary fix.. and the font face is still ugly

Is it possible to modify the forums to do this?

Let me know what you think.

Cheers.
Cheers,
Nick.

It seems that the MacNN Forums software isn't fully operational right now, and doesn't allow the usage of different typefaces or font sizes when posting messages, even though the "vB Codes Explained" help page claims otherwise.

Sometimes I want to use more than just boldface, italic, or underline styles for special emphasis. Ideally, I would prefer to use classical typefaces, such as Garamond, for text, and alternative classy sans-serif ones, such as Optima, for headlines.

This issue is causing problems for me in the The Mac Dream got shattered forum, where some users are complaining about my extensive use of blue and red color to circumvent this problem.

Is this problem scheduled to be fixed anytime soon?
