    Can the [colour="black"] code be put in the censor to remove it completely? There's never a need for black font, shirsly. It would mean that people's posts would be dotted with [/color] tags if they are copy/pasting, but it would put more pressure on people to post in the default font.

    it's handy for bypassing that shitty swear filter though.

    But if you use the size tags to get around the swearing filter then you'd have 1% of the people who change text size using browser native settings complaining about how the size tag ruins their ability to read threads.
    It's funny cos that 1% statistic is give or take about right for this thread too, considering there are a whopping 352 users of the cloud skin and very few worried about colour tags and only .5 per cent of them appears to judge posters intelligence based on their usage of a tag.     Interesting stuff all in all.

    So, in the future we will either move to a "1 light, 1 dark" solution, or preferably a "colour it yourselves" solution. It wont be today or tomorrow, when I say "soon" I mean next year. Possibly.

    Cloud stays though...right? It actually helps my eyes a good bit, all those floaters aren't as noticeable with the Cloud skin applied.

    Also, I had this skin enabled for the best part of two years, and it took my girlfriend to point out that it says cloud in the upper left hand of the page. I just thought it was a cool looking banner. "Whats Cloud?" :pac:

    It's incredibly bloody annoying.

    You have your own personal tool-filter. What's annoying about that?

    Hmm, my first black coloured post, I can now enforce people not seeing my posts, enforced ignore, woo!
    The only annoying thing about this is the way colour is spelled and that the boards spell check says that I am spelling colour wrong :p

    Oh Black is the colour of my true love's hair. Her lips are like some roses fair.

    I use the Black skin and find black text rather annoying - I know I can highlight it, but I find certain colours with certain backgrounds hard on the eyes/not easy to read.

    Currently the Christmas Forum has lots of [Advice] etc headings on a bunch of threads which apart from making it awkward to see what's what in the forum, they're written in black so you can't see it unless you go highlighting the page...

    I switched from my standard Purple skin to Cloud to read this thread, and yes, the black text is incredibly annoying.

    In conclusion, purple rocks.
