I do like font sizes and bold for making headings in long posts. I suppose you can just do that sort of post in google docs then copy paste it. Or is that not allowed?[/SIZE]

Probably; I figured that'd be the case and it's something I actually want to disable (because the tendency is you're going to be copying darktext-lightbackground which is the opposite of what the theme wants, see?) but like, a million things at once etc.
Yep, Gedan sees it as unnecessary and impractical. I'm predicting another restriction

The pasteformatting doesn't always grab background shade, so shit ends up dark-on-dark. Plus the fact it's literally the exact opposite of everything else.
Well, it's a Forum. Freedom of expression is the ultimate bliss for the masses. Can you blame them though?
I don't think custom font sizes or colors are neccisary. It would be nice to be able to create headings with preset size and color like the standard html h1, h2, h3 ect. In markdown you can do this using #, ##, ### ect. That way we don't have everyone being a special snowflake with their own crazy headers but can still use them to convey structure. Of course I have not idea if that is possible. I understand that the admins are trying to figure out lots of stuff about the forum software right now.
I think it is still possible to use BBcode on this Forum? Gedan was just looking through the software for things to add and disable. There's a plugin for it, but I'm not entirely sure if we have it installed, yet.
Realtalk:
There are some baseline BBCodes that still work through the editor.
The editor doesn't actually use BBCodes to format things though; it generates actual HTML for posts (based on sandboxing). I can jam plugins into it that are way more powerful than BBCode extensions.
Some of the extensions it came with are iffy as shit and I want to replace/disable them to avoid the iffy shit. See: pasting formatting- if I can limit it to avoid the worst issues (like trying to paste dark text with no background) then we cool. (e: this is originally why I disabled the colour shit in the editor, to see if I could work around it in the short term).

All I can really said about this is to sit back and wait or speculate on what other things that'll happen here.

To loosely quote Lux: Off a double rainbow.
But seriously we started talk how (that just jk so noone should get worked up after I put this warning...I think) our evil emeror of smut turn off editing profiles and now we talk about colors. That already bordeline if not outright derailed thread.
Obligatory...close the thread quote. (I mean we wasn't been able edit profiles but now we can doe to we-all-know-who so what point of keep disscussion running for toher subject?)
Most likely I'd think being as we can't have signatures. I guess its all filed under "unnecessary stuff that would be nice to have, but oh well..."
I don't see why we can't have header photos, since i'm assuming it's enabled with a simple click of a button. I've seen other people with them on the forum, so i'm guessing they got them before it was disabled. If that's the case, either nobody should have them or everyone should, in my opinion. Again, that's only my opinion, i'm sure no one gives a shit what I think.
Yes, I think you're right. I add my pic when the forum had just returned, but now I can't change it like you all.
