I like to keep my user posts standardised across the forum, and only allow one or two sizes with a single format. How can i disable the others? No one uses anything apart from the default format, so is there any way to make the options not show at all?

But what if you paste things from another font/size int that text box, it seems to retain that original font.

It will show up in the editor all pretty and colored, but if you actually hit post, all the bbcode will show since it won't get parsed.

Golly, that's sounds a little more worse. I would have hoped the post would just revert what it can't convert into another font/color into the default style.

I'm trying to standardise my posts a little, but if it justs makes a big mess everytime someone posts something external, it could just defeat my whole objective!

The other option is to do replacement variables and replace something like "font size="7"" with "font size="2"" or whatever you want.

I would I implement replacement variables?

Thanks

Would this affect any CMS articles?

Try it and see? You are quoting me about posts, so I don't know.
