What is the point of font size = 7?

MisterB · Feb 08, 2010, 06:37 PM

Warning: Giant wall of text!

I'd suggest restricting users to 5, 4, or even less if that's possible, but that's just my opinion. See above for a demonstration of misuse and abuse. I notice GWG has that function disabled. Font size=1 I have seen on this forum(and others) in place of parentheses or used in postscript.

Should have been in Madness Incarnate imo. lol

It hasn't been an issue up to now. There have been some obnoxious posts, but they were edited and those users haven't tried it again.

We're trusting everyone to act like adults. Don't disappoint me.

Yup, it's nothing a good ol' moderator ninja edit can't fix.

why are you asking for one of the most fundamental features of HTML to be removed???

WHY FONT SIZE 7 ?

1. Why
That's a valid question.

2. Discussion
OK some posters may use it badly but some other may want to use to clarify what they are saying.

3. Note
Don't pay too much attention to the text above it is only an example

PS : I admit that size 5 is quite enough. But that's a question of taste.

Font size is now restricted to a maximum of 5.

i like big fonts, when use correctly makes the reading easy, like use then as sub title, separated the wall of text

but i think 5 is big enough. plus you can bold them too.

I like big fonts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a letter walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that font was stuffed
Deep in the jeans its wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring

r.i.p. font size 7

It's like caps lock and bold multiplied in effect. It's irritating to read, isn't it? Even if someone posts in a positive and constructive manner, this font size discourages discussion.
