Font size

Post by ArisenShine »

I can't seem to figure out how to change the font size while typing a post.
I tried clicking on 'tiny' in the drop down choices (wanted one little part of the post in small letters), it didn't work.

so I typed in [size=x-small]yada yada[/size] and that didn't work either.

yeah, the coding is a little different here from xsorbit - easier, in fact, once you realise what to do.

Just highlight what you want to be a different size/color/whatever and click on the appropriate button above.

The numbers on the "font size" tags that appear are closer to real font-size numbers rather than the 1, 2, 3 that the other board used.

so

it was [size = 7]a member of this board[/ size] (without spaces)

renders

it was a member of this board

2. Select the colour or font size from the drop down box.
3. The codes will be inserted in your text for you.
